Cuban Burgers

If you haven’t guessed already this is a combination of a hamburger and a Cuban sandwich. This is a recipe from the legendary Bobby Flay. This burger uses traditional Cuban sandwich ingredients such as ham, pickles and Swiss cheese. The burgers are topped with garlic mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Since we are using the grill for this recipe, you know it’s perfect for summer. It is also extremely easy to prepare. The recipe calls for the burgers to be pressed, this is totally optional. Enjoy.

Chicken Burgers

For many of us summer has arrived, and that means it’s time for some summer grilling recipes.These burgers have a teriyaki glaze and a ginger mayonnaise spread. Fans of ginger will absolutely love these burgers. The Japanese bread crumbs can be substituted for normal dry breadcrumbs if you choose. You can also add cheese to this recipe, personally I like sliced Swiss. This recipe will make 4 burgers. Enjoy.

Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes are an American classic and favorite. The great taste of that sweet tomato sauce with the hamburger and vegetables is just too good to pass up. Sloppy Joes make a quick and easy meal if you are in a rush. Many of you may have made your own before, or used a canned sauce. This is so much better than a canned sauce. This recipe might be a little different because of the addition of mushrooms. If you do not want mushrooms in your Sloppy Joes, feel free to leave them out. Enjoy.

Quesadilla Burger

The Quesadilla burger has recently become pretty popular. If you are not familiar with this rather unique burger; the quesadilla burger is a grilled burger topped with cheese, Pico de gallo salsa, and a delicious sauce. The burger is placed between 2 lightly fried tortillas. This is a great switch up from your normal hamburgers. Be aware this does take some work but its well worth it. If you want to save time you can buy premade Pico de gallo from the store. The highlight of this recipe is the cilantro mayo sauce that goes onto these burgers, it really is dominant. You can use an indoor grill pan or just a regular skillet to cook these burgers if you choose. Enjoy.

You can add additional seasonings such as season salt, and maybe top them with some cheese if you choose. Enjoy.

Cheeseburgers

There is nothing as good as making cheeseburgers on the grill. In this article explained how to make cheeseburgers using the grill. Of course, these can be done in the fry pan as well. A couple important tips for making perfect cheese burgers would be. First, make sure the burgers are well seasoned on both sides with freshly ground salt and black pepper. Second, make sure not to overcook the burgers. The internal temperate of ground beef should be 160 degrees. Third, resist the urge to press down on the burger patties while cooking. This will make all of the juices run out. There is nothing worse than a dry over cooked burger. These burgers include your typical condiments such as lettuce and tomato but what is special about this is the sauce. The burger sauce that goes on these burgers really kicks things up a notch.

French Dip Sliders

French dip sliders, just like the ones at Applebee’s! There is something about roast beef and Swiss cheese that is just amazing. This recipe uses deli roast beef so there is no need for a slow cooker. I know what you’re thinking, “but what about the Au Jus?” After all, what would French dips be without the Au Jus?  That won’t be a problem though because in this recipe you can make your own Au Jus without the use of a slow cooker. This process is done by simmering a few ingredients in a saucepan. These sliders make a great appetizer for parties or at home. Enjoy.

Western Burgers

The burgers should be well seasoned with salt and black pepper for the best flavor. If you don’t have an outdoor grill, you can cook them in the fry pan. These burgers are perfect for summer cookouts. Enjoy.
