Summer is here and that means it’s outdoor hosting and grilling season! There’s nothing like a hot juicy burger straight from the grill topped with all of our favorite add-ons. Burgers are my go-to summer entertaining meal, too. Pair them with hot dogs for the kids, salads, fruit and an ice cream treat and you have a stress-free backyard BBQ that’s easy to host.

A burger board is a fun way to display burger toppings and condiments, and make them easily accessible to everyone. Build the burger board as simple or intricate as you like, there is no wrong way to do it.

• Everyone is going to rave about this DIY hamburger bar, it might just become what you’re known for!

Ingredients For A Hamburger Charcuterie Board

• Hamburgers – We cook our favorite homemade burgers on the grill or smoker. You can also grab premade patties from the store for convenience but make sure to season them. We love using our Beef Seasoning on storebought patties.
• Hamburger buns – We used buns with sesame seeds, but anything that is sturdy and large enough to hold up to the toppings works great.
• Toppings – Slice up the best burger toppings like red onions, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, pickles etc.
• Condiments – Mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, burger sauce and more.
• Sides – We used French Fries, but potato chips are a great alternative.

Hamburger Topping Ideas

There are so many different variations of burger toppings these days. Pretty much, the sky is the limit! You can stick the classics or throw a few special toppings on the board to surprise people with.

• Tomatoes – Pick a beef steak tomato or a large tomato to cover your burger. Season with salt and pepper to really bring out the flavor.
• Lettuce – Leafy lettuce or iceberg lettuce works the best.
• Bacon – Try smoking bacon on your electric smoker. The flavor is amazing and there’s no mess to clean up.
• Pickles – We have sliced burger pickles on our tray, but try surprising people with a spicy pickle or even pickled beets for a little sweet flavor and fun color.
• Cheese – Spice things up with pepper jack cheese or keep it classic with slices of cheddar cheese. You can top the burgers and let it melt while grilling or leave them naked and let guests top their own burgers or better yet, do a few of each!
• Eggs – Have you ever tried our burger with a fried egg? Out of this word delicious!
• Onion – We used a thinly sliced red onion, but white onion works too. Throw a cast iron skillet on the grill and make some caramelized onions!
• Burger Sauce – Why stop with ketchup and mustard? Throw some Burger Sauce on there or even a little White BBQ Sauce!
  

How to Create a Burger Board

1. Line board with parchment paper. This will help keep grease or any other liquids from seeping onto any hamburger toppings and makes clean up easier.
2. Put all your condiments in small bowls and place them on the board.
3. Add the burgers in a curved arrangement, layering them along the outside of the board. Start placing the toppings on the board. We did the cheese slices on the opposite side of the board as the burgers in a similar arrangement to anchor the board. After that we just took the toppings and arranged them filling in gaps with burger buns at the end!

Storage

Store any leftovers in the fridge in individual airtight containers. Throw away any condiments that may have been contaminated by any of the toppings.

You are going to be famous for your hamburger charcuterie board when you make it for Father’s Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July and everything in between!
