You can't go wrong with a homemade burger and we think they're incredibly delicious and make a great project if you're feeding a crowd.

We've got so many options to choose from that aren't just classic beef burgers (even though they will no doubt be popular at your next BBQ or summer party), but plenty of other versions you can make for meat-eaters and veggies alike!

For something fresher and healthier, you'll could try our salmon burger, and there are plenty of recipes for veggies including our no-cook bean burger or our gorgeous Tex-Mex vegetarian burger.

And it's not just about serving them in seeded buns with ketchup, our burgers come encased in everything from floury ciabatta rolls, to lettuce wraps - or try our Moroccan-inspired lamb burger, which comes in a white khobez flatbread.
