Why This Triangle Burger Works
The triangle shape makes this cheeseburger stand out, but it’s the combination of juicy beef, two layers of melted cheese, fresh toppings, and creamy mustard-habanero sauce that brings everything together. Homemade triangle-shaped buns complete the burger and make every bite unique.
Tips for the Best Triangle Cheeseburger
Shape the beef patties slightly larger than the buns, as they will shrink during cooking. Add the cheese while the patties are still hot so it melts evenly. Lightly toasting the triangle buns helps them hold the sauce without becoming soggy. For more heat, simply add a little extra habanero sauce to the mustard sauce.
