This weekend is going to sizzle – and we're not talking about the weather.

Not only is it Memorial Day weekend, one of the biggest cookouts of the year, but Saturday, May 28, is also National Burger Day. So even if you're not the god or goddess of grilling – or you have to miss a picnic because you're working, it should be easy to satisfy your sandwich cravings.

If you are going to take the burger-cooking into your own hands this weekend, make sure you do it safely. After all, you don't want to go down in family or neighborhood history as the person who gave everyone food poisoning.

Are you grilling the wrong way? How to prepare that Memorial Day barbecue safely

Patties made of ground beef, pork, veal or lamb should reach 160° Fahrenheit, according to the USDA's Food Safety Inspection Service. Use a meat thermometer to make sure you've hit the target temperature.

Here's a list of the burger deals on offer, just in case.

Arby's

Join Arby's loyalty program and get 50% off on any sandwich. This is the first National Burger Day when Arby's has actually had a burger on offer. USA TODAY's Brett Molina reviewed the chain's Waygu Steakhouse Burgers earlier this week. Spoiler alert: Don't plan on eating this one in the car. It's MESSY.
