A juicy grilled hamburger sandwiched inside a toasted bun is a perennial favorite at barbecues–yet there's so much more you can do with the basic burger. Dress it up with melted cheese, grilled onions, sliced tomatoes or whatever toppings you please. Or stuff beef burgers with a savory filling, such as crumbled bacon and blue cheese, before shaping into patties and grilling.

And think beyond beef. Try Moroccan-spiced lamb burgers tucked inside pita bread, or salmon burgers served with a side of vegetable slaw. Our turkey burgers topped with sweet-tart cranberry relish taste like Thanksgiving dinner in a bun.
