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 using 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 sure, though: Nowhere is the hamburger more popular than in the United States. The dish has become a uniquely American staple, with the nation said to consume a staggering 50 billion burgers a year.

Unfortunately, that might not be the case forever thanks to record-high ground beef prices. In a June 2026 report, Fortune noted that "beef is becoming a luxury." Of course, many of us are still making burgers—but given the cost, it's more important than ever to ensure we're crafting something worthwhile.

With that in mind, 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.
