Tips for making the perfect burgers in sauce
Choose high-quality ground beef. Look for meat that is at least 80% lean and 20% fat for the juiciest burgers.
Don't overwork the meat. Overmixing the meat can result in tough burgers. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Make an indentation in the center of each patty. This will help the burgers cook more evenly and prevent them from puffing up in the center.
Let the burgers rest before serving. Allowing the burgers to rest for a few minutes after cooking will help them retain their juices and flavors.
Experiment with different types of cheese. Cheddar, American, and Swiss are all great options for burgers in sauce.
Try adding toppings like sliced avocado, bacon, or pickles for extra flavor.

Burgers in sauce are a delicious and easy weeknight dinner that the whole family will enjoy. With a few simple ingredients and some basic cooking skills, you can create a meal that is sure to impress. Give this recipe a try and let us know what you think!
