When I decided to take a hiatus from eating red meat about five years ago, burgers were the thing I missed the most.
I’ve never been a huge red meat eater to begin with, but I’ve always had a weak spot for a good burger. And that weak spot is totally to blame for my caving in a year or so later and devouring a Cook Out burger like a rabid animal who hadn’t eaten in a week. My boyfriend didn’t know whether to be incredibly impressed or frightened, as he’d never seen me eat something so quickly before. Oh yes, I inhaled that thing.
Now while I’ve had some epic burgers that would argue it is indeed all about the beef, I’ve also had some killer veggie burgers — one of which is on this list. (See Half Baked Harvests’ Crispy Quinoa Burgers.) It’s in the good company of some other bean and veggie burgers that rival some of the other beef burgers I’ve had.
We figured since it’s summer, and many of us will be throwing and attending a considerable amount of cookouts, parties, potlucks and other outdoor bacchanals, it was high time for a burger recipe roundup. That’s why we’ve scrupulously put together the most mouthwatering, over-the-top, juicy, grill-able, delicious burgers we could find. We promise there’s something for everybody (beef, turkey, chicken, lamb, veggie, bean — we’re taking no prisoners), and just looking at these photos is enough to send you running to the store for the ingredients stat.
So get to work on those patties, and cheers to a delicious summer of grilling ahead!

Fantastic Burger Recipes !!!
I love these burger recipes. The Asain burger looks delicious. Thanks for posting these.
That round up certainly got my tummy rumbling (I should’ve eaten breakfast before coming on here. That Cheddar Jalapeno Chicken Sandwich looks amazing as I LOVE JALAPENOS, I made a Cheese Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Chicken Breast with a low-carb version of the bronco berry sauce for my website, recently, and will have to try out your Sandwich but without the bun–Oh how I miss bread! :-(
Thanks for sharing & Happy Easter!
Thanks Lisa, and happy Easter to you as well!
I have taken a break from meat many times in my life as well, but this post awakens the carnivore in me! Yum. I can’t help it. I think we may have to try one (or two) of these before we sit down to watch the Emmy’s tonight!
Yay, we’re glad you liked the roundup, and we hope you had fun watching the Emmy’s! :)
Thanks for posting all of these recipes, Hayley! I’ve been looking for some good barbecue ideas for my family, and I think I’m going to go with the Chipotle Black Bean Burger; it looks scrumptious! What’s your favorite recipe from this list? I’m very excited to try some of these out!
Sure thing, Lily! That chipotle black bean one looks and sounds SO GOOD. I think my favorites are the red wine burgers with caramelized onions and goat cheese, the crispy quinoa, and the heisenburger (and not just because I love Breaking Bad!) Enjoy!
Best round up ever!! I’ve been obsessed with burgers lately. Now I’m eyeing Nicole’s gyro burger up there, it sounds freaking awesome! Thanks for the linkup on my Caprese!
Thanks, Karen! And you’re so welcome, we’re still drooling over your caprese burger!
Every single one looks awesome and droll-worthy ;) What a collection, Ali! loving it!
Thanks, Savita!
These recipes will make me auntie and kid sister of the decade
Haha, that’s great!
Every single one of these burgers looks amazing. Now all I need is someone to make them all for me to enjoy…
O.
Glad you like the roundup! : )
I’m a huge burger fan – vegetarian for me though. I love the idea of turkey or chicken burgers for my boys since ground beef is very expensive right now.
I hope you enjoy some of the veggie burgers in this roundup (from this meat eater’s perspective, they’re totally AWESOME)! : D
