If you have been playing Grow a Garden on Roblox recently, you have probably seen players buzzing around the cooking pot, tossing in colorful veggies and herbs, trying to cook the perfect meal for Chris P, the hungry pig NPC who rewards you for feeding him what he craves.
One of the meals you will often come across is the Burger. It is one of the more recognizable dishes in the game, and it is actually not too hard to make once you have got the right ingredients growing in your garden.
Let’s break it down step-by-step and walk through how to make a Burger in Grow a Garden, whether you are just starting out or already knee-deep in cooking quests.
Getting Started with Cooking
Before you can start cooking anything, including a Burger, you will need access to the cooking station in the center of the map. It is a big pot where you can combine ingredients you have harvested to make meals. Each dish takes a specific combination of ingredients, and depending on the current craving of Chris P, the reward you get from cooking and feeding him will change.
You will also need to pay attention to the water color under the pot before cooking. For the Burger, it shows up as red, meaning it is a basic-tier recipe.
Burger Recipe (Basic Version)
To make a standard Burger, here is what you will need:
- 1 Tomato
- 1 Corn
- 1 Pepper
That’s it. No rare flowers, no fancy tricks. Just three simple crops that you can grow pretty early in the game. If you have already unlocked the basic garden plots, you are good to go.
Once you have harvested these ingredients, head over to the pot and press E to add them. Then hit the Cook button and wait. The timer runs for about 10 minutes and 32 seconds, so either explore the map, farm more ingredients, or chill for a bit while your burger cooks.
When the time is up, return to the pot, press E again, and you will have your freshly cooked Burger ready.
Feeding Chris P
Chris P is the lovable pig NPC who rewards you when you feed him. The thing is, he got cravings, and they change over time. Sometimes he wants a Burger, other times it might be Sushi or Pie.
So, before you waste ingredients, check what Chris P is currently asking for. You will see a thought bubble above his head showing the water color and sometimes even a dish hint. If the color matches (in this case, red), you are good to go. Feed him the Burger, and he will reward you with coins, fertilizer, and sometimes rarer drops.
If it is not what he is craving, you will still get something, but it won’t be as valuable.
Can You Make Higher-Tier Burgers?
Yes, absolutely. As you progress in the game and unlock rarer ingredients like Ember Lily, Bone Blossom, or Violet Corn, you can mix them into your Burger recipe to make a higher-tier version.
Here are some higher-tier burger recipes:
Prismatic Burger
- 1 Violet Corn
- 1 Tomato
- 3 Bone Blossom
Divine Burger
- 3 Bone Blossom
- 1 Corn
- 1 Tomato
Mythical Burger
- 1 Pepper
- 1 Corn
- 1 Tomato
- 1 Bone Blossom
- 1 Beanstalk
Legendary Burger
- 1 Pepper
- 1 Corn
- 1 Tomato
These versions also cook for the same time, but you will notice the rewards from Chris P improve significantly, if he is craving a prismatic dish.
Tips for Cooking Efficiently
- Farm extra ingredients: Keep a stash of basic items like Tomato, Corn, and Pepper. They are used in many recipes and you will burn through them fast.
- Time your cooking: The 10-minute cook time means you can get other tasks done while you wait, like collecting seeds, watering crops, or completing other quests.
- Check cravings first: Always look at what Chris P wants before you start cooking. Wasting rare ingredients on the wrong craving can feel a bit disheartening.
Final Thoughts
Cooking in Grow a Garden adds a fun new layer to the game. It is more than just planting and harvesting, it is about planning, timing, and understanding what your pig friend wants. The Burger is a great early recipe to get familiar with the cooking mechanics, and it can be surprisingly rewarding when timed right.
If you are still working your way through other dishes like Sushi or Pie, the Burger is a solid place to start. It is easy to make, and with the right timing, it can give you the boost you need to keep upgrading your garden.
So next time you are wondering what to cook, give the Burger a shot. It might not be the fanciest dish, but it gets the job done.
