Hamburgers on the dinner menu. I’m, not terribly excited about the standard lettuce, onion, ketchup, mustard toppings.
What can I do that’s a little different (and not terribly unhealthy)?
I was thinking of a light smattering of BBQ sauce or perhaps some HP sauce! Anybody got any really tasty ideas?
Swiss + sauteed mushrooms and onions
Taco seasoning, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar, sour cream and salsa
caramelized onions, blue cheese and bacon.
or blue cheese and hot sauce.
or a fried egg and a piece of ham. (not a joke)
Bearnaise sauce.
To add to those great suggestions above.
Grilled Portobello Mushroom.
Some cooked Chilli.
Grilled fresh pinaple slice, with ham and slice Jallepino.
Goats Cheese, sun dried tomatoes, choppe olives and Basil
Jeans and a T-shirt usually work for me. 
Seriously. I like BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese and sauteed onion.

I know Hewlett Packard does ink cartridges, but now they do sauce as well? Jeez, they’re into everything, anymore.
Horseradish
Thousand Island dressing (aka Big Mac Special Sauce, tho some 1000 Islands I’ve had need a bit of horseradish to match the Mac sauce)
Bleu Cheese
Feta Cheese
Mix some BBQ sauce or Steak sauce into the patty before you start them up.
They will be Bomb.

I can’t believe I’m giving cooking advice! I hardly EVER cook for myself.
Fresh sliced avocado, fresh roma tomatoes, mayo and ketchup or mustard, and/or bleu cheese on fresh baked kaiser rolls.
The avocado tends to get a bit slippery, so keep those napkins handy.
I like the so-called Carolina Classic: chili, mustard, and coleslaw. Lots of chili, mustard, and coleslaw. It’s a very messy, and very delicious, burger.
That would be Houses of Parliment! THE sauce for steaks and the like!
Similar advice to Shaggarito’s –
Before forming the patties I mix in mustard powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire Sauce and, when in the mood, herbs d’ Provence or Summer Savory and/or chopped onion. Makes ‘em great and they’re definitely not boring. :lipsmacking smiley:
Sauce for… steaks? What did those poor cuts of beef ever do to you? 
Mix your ground beef in a 3:1 ratio with hot or sweet Italian sausage. Cook well-done.
Or
Form the burger patties around chunks of feta or mozzerella cheese.
You people are killing me! I haven’t bought a new propane tank for my BBQ yet and now I want burgers! Almost every suggestion here is one I want to try. I’m going to have nothing but burgers for a month.
My usual favorite: fried onions, thick melted sharp cheddar cheese, Bullseye Original BBQ sauce.
If I may make a suggestion…
Wal-Mart now carries one of the best BBQ sauces produced - Gates & Sons BBQ, made in Kansas City. It’s not as thick, and is much more peppery than most BBQ sauces, but it is fantastic on burgers. Get the original recipe, the new spicy flavors are not good.
Careful, it pours fast.
Ah, gawd. I’ve been craving a jalepeno cheeseburger for two days now (mayo, monterrey jack and LOTS of jalepenos).
And this thread is not helping.
Damn you!! Damn. you. all. to. hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!
A modest proposal:
Instead of using a bun, get ahold of some onion bagels. Toast 'em, apply a healthy schmear of cream cheese and slap the patty in that sucker. Some mustard helps, too.
Sounds odd, but it’s delicious.
HI, MAY I HELP YOU???
I realize that if you’ve never been to a Gates restaurant, you don’t have any idea what I’m talking about, but trust me, this is appropriate.
Gates is not my favorite, but it does seem to be massively popular around here. Too vinegary for my tastes. No molasses. KC Masterpiece is my choice, if I can’t get Fiorella’s Smoke Stack or Jack’s Stack.

Now I want some feta burgers with big slices of avocado. Damn.
