Any ideas to change out the usual burger, cheese and ketchup? Standard, but boring!

Been thinking of adding some stovetop to the burger mixture, but not sure. Would appreciate any/all suggestions.

If you like Ranch dressing, you can add a packet to a lb of burger. I've had burgers with a packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix. I sometimes stuff a little mozzaella and mushrooms in my burgers. There are probably lots of ideas on line. (I forget a lot of times that I can google things!)

Use different seasonings for the meat or use ground turkey instead

There are many cheeses to choose from that provide a different flavor profile

There are other sauces besides ketchup (ie A-1, Heinz 57, Chick-Fil-A)

I like to copy Burger King. Barbeque sauce cheese and French fried onions.

If you mean a totally different version of the same idea:

Hawaiian (chicken with grilled pineapple)

BBQ Burger

Mushroom Burger

For more ideas just look at the menu of Red Robin or other such places

Would never use ketchup and cheese on a burger. I am traditional, a tiny bit of mustard, pickles and a good bit of onion sliced paper thin.

I buy those Best Maid pickles in the gallon or half gallon jars because they are the only ones sliced thin enough to use on a burger. Its mostly about the meat and bread for me.

Look to changing toppings. Different greens, onions, tomatoes or peppers. It can make a real difference.

How about a veggie burger? Black bean, rice, quinoa, farro?

I mix Pico de Gallo and/or a dollop of Salsa in with my burgers for a nice change of pace.

@eddyandme

Can't add the link here but my favorite hamburger recipe of all time is online by Be Wild Eats, Western Bison Burgers with Crispy Onions and Whisky Mayo.

You could easily swap out the bison with beef, although they'd be good we don't make the crispy onions we use slices of red onion.

Spices added to the meat, so delicious!

Forgot to mention that I also add a dash of Montreal Steak Seasoning to our burgers as well.

My husband loves Swiss cheese, bacon and sauted mushrooms on his burgers.

I like them black and blue with carmelized onions and blue cheese crumbles.

They're great with BBQ sauce and bacon. Make it a Aloha burgers by adding Swiss cheese and grilled pinapple to the BBQ sauce and bacon burger.

Yumm.

@eddyandme, hi!

Make a patty melt instead. They're deeelicious!

Chopped onion, browned

Hamburger meat

Swiss cheese

Toasted rye bread

Thousand island dressing

Pat the hamburger into a patty roughly the size of the bread - not a thick burger, think 'smash burger'.

Top w/ the browned onion & melted Swiss cheese, and sandwich between the toasted rye and dressing.

If you don't want to buy the dressing, just mix together mayo, ketchup & sweet relish.

@Sooner It's funny you say you'd never put ketchup and cheese on a burger. To me, that IS the traditional way to eat it! Then again, I'm a cheese freak and love so many different kinds.

As far as changing up burgers, the possibilities are endless with regards to toppings and sauces.

@rockygems123 I've never had whiskey mayo, but I'll bet it's amazing on a burger with those crispy onions. Sounds great!

All these suggestions sound wonderful to me. I love changing things up.

@Jk9 I'm big on change except when it comes to good beef! I'm after beef! NO seasonings (salt is a must), sauces, herbs, flavorings. A good piece of beef and that's what I want.

I can do all sorts of things to fish, pork, chicken, just leave my beef alone!

I had a burger tonight. I put mine on a toasted English muffin, cheese, pickles and ketchup. Love a burger like this.

My husband use to make a burger with sauerkraut and onions in it and grill. Very good.

"Sonoma Sharp White Cheddar, Avocado, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Bacon-Shallot Jam and Chimichurri Aïoli on a Buttered Brioche Bun" is the Hearthstone Burger at Disneyland's Grand Californian Hotel. I had this recently and the flavor combination is very good. Admittedly the jam and aioli aren't regular purchases for me, but it looks like Stonewall Kitchen's bacon jam, and a chimichurri sauce, are at Safeway. Many recipes online too. Whatever you try ... Bon appetit!
