What are your favorite ways to make and prepare your burger? What are your topping choices and what type of bun do you use?

For me, I always go lean or extra angus beef topped with either a little ketchup or HP sauce, little low fat mayonnaise but recently I haven't been putting it on, onion slice, and romain or baby spinach on a thin whole wheat bun, they are really flat and small...perfect for a serving of ground beef. And on the side, I'll either have corn on the cob or veggies. Like today, I had steamed broccoli. So good.

So, what are your ways of eating a burger and how do you make it?

    I love burgers - make them all the time. I don't have it with a bun so I go fork and knife. I generally go with PC frozen sirloin burgers (ground beef, spices, salt).

    My standard topping is ketchup, mayo, cheddar, and any available greens (spinach, spring mix, etc). But I love putting avocado slices or guacamole on it. Also salsa and feta cheese is delicious. Really, anything on a burger is delicious.

    Sounds yummy! I sometimes don't use a bun but I found a healthier option for them. Plus, it fills me more so if I'm really hungry, I'll have the bun but if not, I won't have it.

    Today I had a 1/4 pound patty grilled on a panini press, on a sandwich thin bun, with salt free ketchup, dijon mustard, two tomato slices, and a handful of baby spinach leaves. A side of pineapple chunks and a glass of Crystal Lite Peach tea. (396 calories total for lunch)

    Yesterday's burger was a sandwich thin, guacamole, mango salsa, and spinach leaves. A side of Tostitos bite size rounds and 3 tblspn of mango salsa for dipping.

    Who says you have to starve or suffer to lose weight?

    I absolutely love adore crave burgers. They are my favorite. I have them as a favorite tab in my computer. Its the best invention in the world.

    The boogers thing threw me off. I also thought you meant buggers.

    Slater/s 50/50 have been my new place to go.
    Then it's The Big Carl at Carl's Jr.
    The Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger at Jack.
    Triple Whopper at BK.

    Because ( I am told) they taste like packing peanuts?
    Because I never gained any weight eating them?

    Let's talk about BURGERS.

    We actually own a burger restuarant. My favourite burger is 4 oz lean ground beef, no filler. Cheddar cheese slice, lettuce, double dill pickles, and frat sauce (which is a habenero spiced mayo). I eat it like twice a week, but I switch it up with the lean turkey burger too.

    No bread allowed? Awww, that kinda sucks. I'd go nuts if I couldn't have bread...

    But that still sounds tasty!

    I'm a Cook at Carl's Jr, so I get burnt out on Burgers. However, when I do have one, I put lots and lots of Tomato, Onion, Pickle...Try to avoid lots of sauces, but sometimes I cannot. :D

    I make burgers every week and play around with toppings and the such.

    So far these were some of my favs

    Pork and beef bulgogi scallion burgers on steamed buns, topped with kimchi, bacon and a gochujang/sriracha GY sauce.

    When I use sauces, it's a small amount. Most of the time it's not even a full tblsp. Lol or half. The burger I had tonight which was homemade didn't need mayonnaise. I only used a small amount if HP sauce. So good.

    Burgers are a rare treat now. I ALWAYS grill them. Swipe on some BBQ sauce towards the end. Onions, pickle, lettuce, more BBQ. Homemade sweet potato fries baked in the oven
