  • 2 Tbsp. bottled mustard

Tips & Substitutions

For a delicious twist, try using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a leaner option. You can also experiment with different mustards, such as honey mustard or spicy brown mustard, to enhance the flavor. If you're short on time, pre-cooked ground meat can be used. Just mix in the mustard and heat before serving. For a vegetarian version, substitute the meat with a plant-based burger patty from your favorite vegan recipes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your mustard burgers with crispy fries or a fresh salad on the side for a balanced meal. They also pair beautifully with Golden Glow Punch for a refreshing drink option. Consider adding toppings like lettuce, tomato, or pickles for extra crunch. For a fun twist, serve them alongside Basic Trail Mix for a delightful crunch.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover mustard burger mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave until warmed through or heat in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. If you have toasted buns left over, store them separately to maintain their texture.
