Caesar Salad Burgers Ingredients
For the Burger Patties 🍖
500g (about 1 lb) ground beef (80/20 for juicy burgers)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional, but adds great depth of flavor)
For the Caesar Salad Topping 🥗
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
¼ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh Parmesan shavings for garnish
For Assembly:
4 burger buns, toasted
Optional: crispy bacon strips or grilled chicken slices for extra flavor and texture
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Patties 🍖
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
Gently mix the ingredients without overworking the meat, then form into 4 equal-sized patties.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked to your preferred doneness.
In the last minute, place the buns (cut side down) on the grill or skillet to toast them lightly.
- Make the Caesar Salad 🥗
In a bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly coated.
This creamy, tangy salad will bring a crisp, fresh contrast to the savory burger.
- Assemble the Caesar Salad Burgers 🍔
Start by placing each burger patty on the bottom half of the toasted bun.
Generously top each patty with a mound of Caesar salad.
Add Parmesan shavings for an extra cheesy kick.
Feel free to layer on crispy bacon strips or grilled chicken slices if you want to take your burger to the next level.
Finish with the top bun and serve immediately.
Tips & Variations:
For even more flavor, mix a tablespoon of grated Parmesan directly into the burger patties before cooking.
Swap the buns for lettuce wraps for a low-carb Caesar burger option.
Sprinkle crushed croutons over the salad topping to add extra crunch – like a Caesar salad in every bite!
