Take-out Tuesday, Umami Burgers
I am a sucker for recipes that promise to be “the best ever”
When I saw this recipe from a reputable food blogger deemed Best Burgers Ever, I couldn’t wait to try it
Perfect for Labor Day Grilling!
Did you have a wonderful holiday weekend or did Hermine rain out your plans?
Our Labor Day was not the chaos it usually is relatively quiet with just my son and his boys… they stay busy fishing on the pier or out in one of the boats
HH & HHjr LOVE to grill, so weekend meal time is a breeze for me-
The ingredients for these burgers were a surprising combo, teriyaki sauce, basil, onion, and Parmesan cheese…really?
But hey, if they are going to be The Best Ever, I decided to amp it up a little and not only mix in the ingredients before making the patties, but also add a lot more on top
I’m sort of a “More is More” type person 😋
These burgers had a great taste, but nothing you could really pinpoint, that’s why I am calling them Umami Burgers
You keep going back for one more bite, wondering, “what is that flavor…”
Umami is considered to be the fifth taste after sweet, salty, bitter, and sour. It can unofficially be described as “a savory, pleasant taste”
We did not put cheese on the burgers, as the original recipe suggested, because I wanted to taste the flavor of the seasoned meat
You can certainly dress these burgers with your favorite condiments, use anything you love on a regular hamburger, and you will still get the intriguing umami flavor
We served them on these artisan rolls but if you’re watching carbs, just add some grilled vegetables
Grilled meat or fish and roasted vegetables or a salad keeps these weekends laborless for me…I even bought the prepared vegetable kebabs

Jenna, we had grilled burgers over the weekend, but you convinced me that I must try these. Saving this recipe…Happy Tuesday!
I could sink my teeth in that burger Jenna and those skewers! LOVE the art rendering so much!
Hi Jenna, The burgers look delicious! We make them often here and do the grilled veggies for a side. You always play a role in what’s on the menu here!
Will be in touch with you later this week.
yes! I was thinking about you today too Emily!
so were they the best ever?! We had burgers too – I like to add an envelope of lipton onion soup mix to my ground beef. 🙂
Onion soup mix is one of my favorites too Jodi, but this is a tasty change especially if someone doesn’t like onions-
I had hoped to grill up some burgers over the weekend but they kept saying the storm could affect us… Turned out not so much. Gonna have to take care of that craving soon:@)
These sound delicious! Lucky you to have your guy grillers for a labor-less Labor Day. 🙂
Jenna, We missed having a burger this weekend and now I’m craving one! There was the wonderful aroma of charcoal and wonderful grill smells all around us and wafting across the water 🙂
Hi Jenna,
I can’t wait to try your awesome burger, it sure looks good! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday and have a great weekend!
