Bloomin Burger Recipe Tips:

  • Oil – Use any oil with a high smoke point. Vegetable oil, canola oil, coconut oil or peanut oil will all work great in this recipe.
  • Sauce – You can easily prepare the sauce ahead of time. We think it taste better once the ingredients have marinated together.
  • Burgers – Cook the burgers until they are cooked through. You may need to use a meat thermometer to ensure they are completely cooked.
