If you don’t feel like standing over the stove tending burgers and the grill isn’t an option, the Instant Pot is a perfect solution. Burgers come out juicy and flavorful, and there’s less mess! I use my culinary torch to add a charred exterior to the burgers.
Serve these burgers with a tasty remoulade sauce or try this secret sauce or a chipotle aioli.
