The traditional hamburger has become a gourmet treat in recent years and it’s easy to see why. This handheld meal is one of the most versatile dishes out there – not only can you customise the patty, you can also experiment with different flavoured toppings and buns. For your burger night at home, you might like to spice things up. Instead of ordering in, why not build your very own burgers complete with sides? That way you can get exactly what you want (and often for a fraction of the price). To spark those creative juices, we’ve put together a range of different burger ideas based on using meat, poultry, seafood or vegetable patties. And the best part? Everything is available to order on iPantry right now! Beef burger ideas What we love about a good old fashioned beef burger is how much you can dress it up. Depending on your tastes, you can invest some time in exploring all kinds of toppings to jazz things up. The sky’s the limit! But when it comes to the patty, you’re going to love Flinders + Co Signature Beef Burgers. This two pack of patties is part of the brand’s carbon neutral range of products, so not only are they delicious, they’re also better for the planet. Alternatively – and for something a little different – you might enjoy a few slices of 14hr smoked beef brisket instead from Burn City Smokers.

Burger sides ideas Once you’ve landed on your masterpiece burger, it’s time to explore sides. You could go ‘old school’ and bake some potato fries, or switch it up and use sweet potato. But if you’re feeling like your burger is already carb-loaded, you might opt for a simple salad instead (you can find what fruit and vegetables you need on iPantry). For something completely different and healthy, you could fry up some eggplant or red capsicum. Both of these veggies also make great toppings for any of the burgers listed above, too.
