One of the sayings we love the most is that when you buy a propane tank, you unlock a world of culinary possibilities. For some, however, those “endless possibilities” actually do end at the same time summer does. That’s right–when fall rolls around, the other thing that rolls is the grill–right into the garage to be put away until spring comes next year.
At Mighty Flame, we think that just because the weather has started to cool off a bit doesn’t mean that you can’t still get the most out of your grill! As a matter of fact, we would even go so far as to say that now is a better time to prepare a meal that you love from the comfort of your grill. You see, in summer, people often eat lighter, opting for less food because there are more physical activities to participate in. You don’t want to feel full when you’re going for a bike ride, heading out for a hike, or hopping in the car on the way to the pool!
Fall is the Perfect Time to Grill
When the weather gets cooler, however, people tend to eat just a bit more because their evenings are usually filled with a bit of rest and relaxation on the couch. What that means is that you can actually go big on a burger. Rather than sticking to something simple such as a burger with a slice of cheese and a salad on the side, you can indulge your hunger and try a burger that you might not try when you have other things to do.
Looking for a few recommendations? Not to worry, because we have you covered With Halloween just around the corner, you deserve to eat a burger so good it’s scary. “Is it going to be a Halloween themed burger then?” you ask. Not this time, but perhaps in a future blog. Today’s suggestions are all about satisfying your hunger, so keep reading for our ideas!
The Breakfast Burger
What does a breakfast burger look like? Well, it’s actually up to you. Prepare your burger normally, but instead of throwing on some American cheese and calling it a day, you can do a bit of experimenting. Perhaps all it takes is a fried egg to take you burger into the perfect breakfast territory for you. Maybe you’d prefer to grill up some hash browns and enjoy those on the side instead of fries. You might even like the idea of making yourself a sausage gravy to serve over the top of your burger, your hash browns, or both to really tie it all together. The point is to simply think outside the box and try something you might not try otherwise!
Mushroom and Swiss Burger
If you’re stuck in a burger rut and you want to try something that’s both out of the ordinary and also a proven classic, look no further than the mushroom and swiss burger. Sautee some mushrooms in a bit of butter and olive oil, add some fresh minced garlic, and throw it all on top of a burger that’s been adorned with melted swiss cheese. Sounds like quite the way to take an ordinary burger and make it incredible.
Guacamole Bacon Burger
Of course you could also make yourself a fresh batch of guacamole with some avocados and a bit of salsa. Melt your favorite cheese, top your burger with some perfectly crispy bacon, and add some nice cold guacamole to the top and you’ve set yourself up for something that’s as amazing as it is out of the ordinary. You could spice things up even further by adding some red pepper flakes or chili powder to your ground beef before you throw it on the grill. It really doesn’t get much better than this!
