 The burger, an American classic with so many different variations that every time you try one it’s like a new meal. Perfect for making at home in the kitchen or outside on a BBQ, there are so many times and ways to enjoy a good burger. But it isn’t enough to have just any burger, we want the best burger recipes to enjoy.

Next time you decide on having a burger, try something new and make it one of your next best burger recipes. That’s next best because there is always another recipe that people might consider to be the best. The question is, what do you consider to be the best? 

Some people may say that the burger needs to be cheesy and others would say leave the cheese out. There are just so many variables to go over like tomatoes, onions, pickles, lettuce, types of each of those, and then the meat itself.

We are mostly familiar with ground beef burgers but that’s not the only meat we use for burgers. We can use things like lamb, chicken, turkey and so many other mixtures and combinations. It is your job to try as many as possible so that you can find your definition of the best burger of all time.

Toppings make a burger stand out for some people while others prefer them plain. I can make anything in the kitchen as long as I have my stand mixer, apron, baking sheets, cookware, serving utensils, extra serving dishes, and flatware all ready to go!

We now understand that there are just so many variables in a burger recipe. But that’s not to say you can’t have a favorite out of all of the best burger recipes. Instead, it means there is a lot to try before you can make your educated decision. 

Don’t be afraid to try all of these recipes to get an idea of what you like. You can even mix and match some of the ideas. For example, maybe you really liked the cheese combination used in one burger recipe but prefer the meat mixture from another. Well, combine the two and see how it works out.

Burger Side Dishes

While the burger is always the star of the meal, you can have some great side dishes as well, and it doesn’t have to be french fries. Instead, try a great pasta salad. Add some spice or seasonings or something new to your meat mixture to make a different experience.

All of these recipes are worth trying at least once though we have a feeling you may be having them more than once. If you’re looking for a good dessert afterward, how about an adult popsicle?
