Why should you make your own Whopper?
Fast food restaurants are great for convenience but let’s face it… homemade burgers are so much better. When you make this Whopper recipe, you are in control of everything that goes into it. From the freshness of the burger buns to the ground beef you use.
Put simply, making your own burgers is always best. I hope you find this Whopper recipe to be right up there with your favourite burgers.
This is recreating my first Whopper experience.
I can still remember the first time I went to Burger King. I was about 10 and my family stopped there on our way back home after a week in Tahoe. The fast food burger chain wasn’t found all over the place like it is today.
I had a Whopper and it was amazing! Bigger than my hands!
The buns were nicely toasted and topped with a flame grilled burger with lots of fresh lettuce, tomatoes and onions. It was a completely different burger experience to what you get these days, served luke warm from a Microwave. For this reason, I decided to recreate that first experience with this Whopper.
Make this Whopper recipe and you can experience the BK of yesteryear!
Tips on getting this Whopper recipe right.
I have never cut corners when making a Whopper. Whenever I recreate any burger recipe, it has to be delicious and memorable! I do love my burgers.
If you like copying burger recipes like I do, then I’m sure you’ll agree they need to be better than the original or there really isn’t any point in making it. Right?
This means using the freshest and best quality ingredients you can get your hands on. Far better than the ingredients used in a fast food restaurant. You want the best quality, well aged beef.
About the burger buns for this Whopper recipe
I baked my own fresh burger buns and that really does make a big difference. You could purchase good quality fresh buns but if you want to try making your own, I highly recommend doing so.
How do you cook the burger patties?
You could fry the meat in a pan but if you want the original Burger King flame grilled flavour, you need to cook on a BBQ which is how I prepared my homemade Whopper.

- 2 slices of tomato

- When cooked to your liking, place one patty on top of the other and transfer to the bottom bun.
