HAMBURGERS!

I personally like to add corn, onions and jalapeños. I've seen peple add beans also.

I love hamburgers! That's what we're having tonight too!

My favorite toppings:

hummus/or baba ganoush
Laughing Cow Herb & Garlic cheese wedge
avocado
lettuce
tomato
roasted red bell peppers
caramelized or grilled onions
sauteed mushrooms
grilled zucchini

And if I get all that on the burger, it makes it hard to take a bite because it's huge, but so, SO good! So much flavor.

And the BEST turkey burger I've ever had - Asian Turkey Burger with Sriracha Mayo: A Turkey Burger That Doesn't Suck: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/05/grilling-asian-turkey-burgers-with-sriracha-mayonnaise-recipe.html

Which reminds me, I need to make those again.

I really like turkey burgers! My husband is a pretty picky eater (not too bad though) and he loved them! He liked them better than the regular beef hamburgers. One thing I like to use as a topping is barbeque sauce, or lite mayo and ketchup. I also like lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, etc on my burgers.

At our local grocery store they mix in cheddar cheese, bacon, jalpeno's.

My favorite is bacon and cheddar though.. soo good!

i put salsa, garlic salt, pepper, oregano & basil in the meat before i make the paddy's. then i put them back in the freezer for an hour or so before grilling which helps them hold up together better when first cooking on the grill, i used to use a splash of soy sauce for this but you have to be careful, the tiniest bit too much and suddenly you have salty burgers, which is gross.

I'm a vegetarian (well mostly) but I try to do veggie burgers but I always get that big fat juicy cheeseburger craving about once every two weeks. Just cheese and burger with mustard and onion! YUMMMMM!

We just made these patty melts last night and they were delicious.

Mushroom and Provolone Patty Melts

Your family won’t believe this comforting sandwich is light. For the kids, use beef broth instead of beer, and try mild wheat bread.

Cooking Light OCTOBER 2010

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 sandwich)
Total:20 Minutes
Ingredients
1 pound ground sirloin
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (8-ounce) package sliced cremini mushrooms
1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dark beer (such as porter)
8 (1.1-ounce) slices rye bread
4 (3/4-ounce) slices reduced-fat provolone cheese

Preparation

1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Shape beef into 4 (4-inch) patties. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done.

2. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, salt, pepper, and mushrooms; sauté 3 minutes. Sprinkle flour over mushroom mixture; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in beer; cook 30 seconds or until thick. Remove from heat; keep warm.

3. When patties are done, remove from large skillet. Wipe pan clean; heat over medium-high heat. Coat 1 side of each bread slice with cooking spray. Place 4 bread slices, coated sides down, in pan. Top each with 1 patty, 1 cheese slice, and one-fourth of mushroom mixture. Top with remaining bread slices; coat with cooking spray. Cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned.

I really enjoy Black Bean Burgers. My favorite is the MorningStar Farms® Chipotle Black Bean Burger with a little pepper jack, a slice of pineapple and lots of lettuce/spinach.
