Forget the Burger Bun

We are all about doing things a little differently at Pre. Taking a recipe or an industry and putting our spin on it is something we try to conquer daily. In this case, we swapped out the traditional sesame seeded hamburger bun for an English muffin, a couple of slices of rye bread, and a piece of Naan.     

We call these your back up burger combos but they may turn into staples. You never know.  All three start with a perfectly cooked burger. There are many ways to cook a burger.

We prefer a cast iron skillet when the grill isn't an option because of below zero temperatures. Don't worry. We created a how-to video because we know how frustrating it is when a burger is not cooked just right.

Once the groundwork is laid with a medium rare (in our opinion), deliciously crusted burger, add toppings. We covered all the bases with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
