We think of summer season as burger season. Burgers are the ultimate versatile summer staple – add the right topppings and they can tack you on a new taste adventure every time you fire up the grill.
Here are a few burger topping ideas to get your mouth watering and your stomach growling, whether your adventure level is Classic Connoisseur or Burger Beast.
The Classic Connoisseur
You like to keep things simple without sacrificing flavour, so start with making your own Handmade Beef Burger. Top it with ketchup, mustard, crisp Romaine lettuce and a handful of shaved white onion, and put it in a classic white bun. But instead of falling back on typical yellow mustard, try whisking together honey and Dijon mustard for a sweet and spicy combination.
The California Dreamer
You demand both style and substance in everything you do, and while you may dream of California, your feet are planted firmly on Canadian soil. Look no further than the Ultimate Burger. Topped with sliced avocado, a tuft of alfalfa sprouts and a dill-Ranch dressing, the secret kicker to this backyard showstopper is the Louisiana Hot Sauce, garlic paste and Worcestershire Sauce added to the ground beef before forming your patties.
The Matchmaker
You know a good thing when you see it. And when you see two good things you know they’ll be even better combined. Rather than spoon your favourite coleslaw onto the plate beside your burger, use it as a topping. Our Chipotle Slaw Burger Topper combines onion, sugar, salt and Sensations by Compliments Aioli Dip & Spread with coleslaw mix. To kick it up yet another notch, try chopping some pickled jalapeno peppers and adding it into this tangy slaw – yum!
The Foodie
Your tastes are refined and your palate is sophisticated, so your burger should be, too. Try the Roasted Garlic and Blue Cheese Burger Topper on your next grilled masterpiece. The combination of crumbled blue cheese, chopped fresh basil, garlic aioli, and arugula garnish, will make mouths water and keep your foodie reputation intact.
The Burger Beast
Your philosophy: the harder it is to hold in your hand, the better the burger. The next time you’re looking for the ultimate way to top your freshly grilled burger, mix up our No Limits Bacon Burger Topper. With a decadent combination of crispy cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, fresh chives, sour cream and barbecue aioli, you’re guaranteed to have the quietest backyard around while everyone chows down on this delectable beast of a burger.
The Thrill Seeker
Ordinary isn’t in your vocabulary. Neither is bland. If a taste doesn’t make you rave it’s not doing its job. Well, look no further than the Wasabi Mayo Burger Topper for your next barbecue. This Korean-style hot mayo will give your burger a unique flavour fusion and your taste buds the thrill they’ve been craving. Pair it with simple tangy coleslaw and sliced red onion for a delicious crunchy contrast.
