Something for Everyone

What makes your favorite burger? While one of my kids likes to keep it simple with ketchup only, another loads up on pickles, lettuce and tomato. My personal favorite is bacon, avocado and a few slices of jalapeño! With this Build-Your-Own Burger Board, everyone gets to build and enjoy their favorite burger!

Sliders, too!

This time I made it with sliders, but we’ll also make this board with regular-sized hamburgers and both ways are always a huge it. Sliders are a great way to serve them because some people (especially kids) don’t eat a full-size hamburger.

Also, sliders are great because most people will enjoy a few and build each one a different way. So much fun!

The excitement on people’s faces when they approach this board is pretty awesome. You can just see their eyes grow big as they take in the burger charcuterie board. Then a smile of concentration on their faces as they choose their burger toppings. The combinations are endless!

Quick Tip: Internal Temperature of Hamburgers

If you’re grilling burgers, check the doneness with a meat thermometer. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees. Then let the patties rest for at least five minutes before serving.

How to Make a Build-Your-Own Burger Board

Place a dish in the middle of a large wood board to put the hamburger patties on once they’re grilled. Prep the hamburgers for grilling.
Before grilling the burgers, place all of the hamburger makings around the plate to the edge of the board. The key is to arrange everything so everyone can easily grab what they need to build their own burger.
Start by placing the burger buns in the top left corner of the board.
Down the right side of the board, place the sliced avocado, sliced tomato, pickle slices, sliced red onion, sliced jalapeños and bacon strips.
Place four mini mason jars, filled with ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and BBQ sauce, on the left middle side of the board. Add small spoons or spreading knives for spreading.
Place the lettuce at the bottom center of the board and potato chips in the top right corner and bottom left corner of the board.
Grill the hamburger patties, melting cheese on them, if desired. Place the grilled hamburger patties on the plate in the middle of the board and serve.

Once the board is built to this point, we’ll grill the hamburger patties with or without melted cheese on them. We always ask who wants cheese on their burger before adding it. Once the patties are grilled and the cheese is melted on each one, place them on the plate in the center of the board and serve.

No, Grill? No Problem!

If you don’t have a grill or it’s not grilling season where you live at the time, you can always cook the patties in a skillet and they will taste just as great! Try my awesome Skillet Sliders recipe.

That’s all there is to it! A burger bar is such a fun and, of course, yummy way to serve a meal! I love a good build-your-own meal to feed a crowd and this ultimate Build-Your-Own Burger Board is one of our favorites for family dinner or really any get-together with family and friends. Enjoy!
