Simple Hamburger Recipes
Try These Recipes, They're Easy!
The Great-American Hamburger is a culinary classic that is a permanent part of our culture. And why not?
Burgers are inexpensive and oh-so-simple to make. Anyone can do it!
But the really cool thing about burger-building is that there are a million ways to elaborate on the bread-meat-bread formula. But we'll get into that later...:-)
This page is dedicated to getting you started with simple hamburger recipes that give you the foundation of what makes an amazing classic burger.
Start With Quality Ingredients
It all comes down to quality ingredients! So, let's begin with this...
On this page I'll show you not only the variety of ways to cook the perfect burger patty, but where to look for the right ingredients, and what to add to it to give your burgers that little something extra.

And yes, there's a little more to it than you'd think. (But not much.) After all, this is the place for simple hamburger recipes. ;-)
Experiment A Little
The burger as a creation really lends itself to experimentation so here's a special challenge that always works for me...
A bun or two pieces of bread and a beef patty are standard, i.e. the control in this experiment. The variable is going to be what you put on the burger.
So, open your fridge and find something green like lettuce, spinach, arugula - or something else on the leafy side like cabbage. Eh?
Next, find something...else...:-)
Ok, just a quick note here - this little experiment does sometimes turn out all wrong. However, I've come up with some great burger combos using this method.
You'll see those recipes here in no time.
How about a thick slice of onion? Or some cooked eggplant? Red bell pepper? Just find something that's been hiding out in your crisper and put it to work.
Now, for a condiment.
Here's some strange ones that worked out well with the right combination of garnishes...salad dressing, curry sauce, soy sauce, wasabi (watch out!)...
Put it all together and munch!
It's a great way to not only experiment with new flavor profiles without a recipe, but a great way to clear out some extra space in your fridge.
