Did you know that the month of May is National Burger Month? I happen to think that this works out perfectly, considering that Memorial Day falls in the month of May – which also just happens to kick off grilling season!
We all have our favorite classic beef burger recipes – sometimes it’s not even a recipe, but a way you prepare them … that you could probably do with your eyes closed!
I know for me, it’s all about making sure to use plenty of salt and not to overwork the meat. I can stick with plain old ground beef and go that route, and I’ll get deliciously juicy and flavorful burgers every time. (We’ve included these tricks and lots more in this handy collection of burger cooking tips!)
Of course, I do always like to add cheese – that’s a given, right? (You guys surely remember how much I love cheese!) Anything from American to Cheddar to Brie floats my burger boat. But sometimes, I like to get even more creative …
And so, without further ado, I bring you 10 fabulous ideas for the very best burgers to enjoy this weekend … and all summer long!

Oh, man. You’ve got my mouth watering with all of these burger recipes. But you didn’t include an Italian option! My favorite nontraditional burger takes on a Mediterranean twist. I nix the plain ole ketchup and American cheese for some sun-dried tomato pesto and crumbled goat cheese. Then, I take the leftover pesto and cheese and add it to grilled chicken breasts and pasta the next day for a two-day treat.
That sounds delicious! And so smart with the leftovers. I bet you’d love these spins on grilled cheese: http://www.mrfood.com/Sandwiches/Dressed-Up-Grilled-Cheese-Sandwiches
