We love burgers which is why we're excited to celebrate National Burger Day! Of course, you don't need a special occasion to enjoy a good burger so keep this post handy for great side dish, condiments, and of course burger recipes.
🍔 Burgers for Days
These juicy burgers are so flavorful that you better make extras because people are going to want a second one! Here are my go-to burger recipes:
- Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders (fun for National Bacon Lovers' Day, Aug 20th)
- Cheese Stuffed Burgers (perfect for National Cheeseburger Day, Sept 18th)
- Cowboy Burger (try on National Day of the Cowboy, the fourth Sat in July)
- Unbelievable Butter Burger (great for National Butter Day, Nov 17th)
Looking for burgers not made with beef? Try one of these tasty recipes:
- Ground Turkey Burgers
- Vegan Black Bean Burgers
- Teriyaki Chicken Burgers
- Lamb Burgers
- Queso Fundido Chorizo Burger
- Portobello Mushroom Burger
- Salmon Burgers
- Chipotle Cheddar Chicken Burgers
- Homemade Vegan Burgers
And this charcuterie-inspired Burger Board is a super fun way to serve them all. Pile it high with all your favorite fixings and let everyone help themselves.
How long do I cook burgers?
I recommend the following cook times depending on how you like your burger:
- Rare: 6 minutes
- Medium rare: 7 minutes
- Medium: 8 minutes
- Medium-well: 9 minutes
- Well-done: 11 minutes
Of course, this also depends on the size of your burgers so use this as a guide for a ¼ pound patty.
Must-Have Condiments
Your standard burgers have things like lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and red onions. I like to place these on the side so people can customize their burgers.
But when it comes to making a burger really special, that's where the condiments come into play!
I like to set out both the expected and unexpected like spicy ketchup, honey mustard, BBQ sauce, lime mayo, donkey sauce, and burger sauce.
Don't forget salsa! It's a great side dish or burger topping. Or try my Cowboy caviar - another burger favorite!
Here are a few of my favorite homemade sauces:
Burger Side Dishes
Whether you're having a cookout for a crowd this summer, or just want an easy weeknight dinner, you can't forget the burger side dishes!
Here are some of my favorite sides to serve with burgers:
- onion rings - air fried to crispy perfection
- cowboy corn casserole - creamy and cheesy
- loaded potato salad - with bacony goodness
- rainbow veggie kabobs - healthy side dish
- Italian green bean salad - easy and delicous
- cowboy baked beans - can be made on the grill, slow cooker, or stovetop
