The following recipe and photography were provided by local blogger Carolyn Hodges of The Dinner Shift.
Have you every tried Heinen’s juicy gourmet burgers? They’re available year-round in Heinen’s Meat Department and prepared in-store by Heinen’s butchers using the freshest ingredients.
Each variety is pre-seasoned, stuffed and flavored, so all you have to do is toss them on the grill or stovetop and enjoy. It’s no surprise these burgers are a huge hit with customers, so much so that they’re one of the few products included in Heinen’s Fan Favorites product collection!
While they’re delicious all on their own with classic toppings, any of Heinen’s gourmet patties can be easily elevated into a restaurant-worthy burger with a few special ingredients. Here are two easy ways to jazz up Heinen’s steakhouse and Two Brothers seasoned burgers.
