Do you have a favorite burger recipe? We want it.

The Los Angeles Times Food section is holding its annual Battle of the Burgers. We want your recipe for that one mouthwatering burger that defines summer for your friends and family. Go to our Facebook contest page to find out how to submit your recipe (along with a brief essay about why it’s the best burger out there).

Readers will vote for their 20 favorites. After that, we’ll test the recipes to come up with the top burgers. The winners will be invited to visit the Los Angeles Times Test Kitchen and their recipes will be published in the Saturday section before the Fourth of July. Winners also will be invited to demonstrate their recipes at our big Taste event over the Labor Day weekend. Recipes must be submitted by May 30, and reader voting takes place May 31 to June 11.
