50 mouthwatering burger recipes
Few meals appear at first blush to be as basic as a burger—but nothing could be further from the truth. The dish is equal parts familiar and wildly open to interpretation; it can be riffed on endlessly through the use of different meats (or meat substitutes), sauces, vegetables, and other ingredients.
The origins of hamburgers have been widely disputed for decades, and many places—from Wisconsin's Outagamie County to Hamburg, Germany—claim to be the birthplace of the burger. One thing is certain, though: Nowhere is the hamburger more popular than in America. The U.S. accounts for 26% of all hamburger consumption worldwide, according to a 2023 analysis from Brizo Food Metrics.
But as our favorite fast-food burgers have significantly increased in price as of May 2024, there's no time like the present to cook your patties at home. Summer is the season for barbecue, and with plenty of great grilling days ahead, you can elevate this standard dish into something special.
To help you get started, Stacker compiled a list of 50 burger recipes from Allrecipes that are anything but basic. Keep reading for new takes on this American classic, with some surprise ingredients—from feta to quinoa—thrown in for good measure.
