Best Burger Toppings?

This weekend is Labor Day and there will be a lot of grilling happening and burgers are an American favorite. I grew up with Dad grilling burgers often and now Hubby grills even more often. My mom and Aunt Jay used to eat burgers a certain way and I quickly adopted that as my favorite too. It may sound a little crazy, but I promise you will love it if you try!

Robyn's Best Burger with BBQ Sauce, American Cheese, Ruffles Chips, and Baked Beans on an Onion Bun

Here is the easy recipe for Robyn’s Best Burger. Grill your burger as you like. Hubby uses McCormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning in the ground meat I know. He then adds his special adaptation of Sweet Baby Ray’s original BBQ Sauce (use whatever is your favorite sauce). Now top with 1 slice of American cheese and then pull off the grill. You need an onion hamburger bun for these – my favorite brand is Pepperidge Farms. Put your burger on the bun and then top with a few Ruffles original potato chips – I’m sorry but it MUST be Ruffles, I’ve tried it with other brands but none are the same. Then top with your favorite baked beans. I prefer beans with a lot of brown sugar and I like them cold – but whatever your preference is will do. Top with the bun. Smoosh it down a bit and ENJOY!

What are your favorite toppings for grilled burgers in your family? If you have something unique that is not on the list be sure to leave a comment telling us about it!

    I took the poll, but “cheese” wasn’t specific enough for me. I like Pepperjack cheese, nothing else comes close, so it’s pepperjack or no cheese at all for me.

    My favorite toppings are roasted red peppers and/or grilled mushrooms!

    I think with all my poll marks, I just created the world’s most awesome burger and suddenly REALLY want a big fat burger.
    I’m curious as to what others filled in with “other”. Ohhh I have to go add fried potatoes my other if it’ll let me.

    Close to beans on burgers I like coleslaw or even potato salad on mine- I only do the potato salad at home but have added slaw in public :)

    Cheese, bacon and bbq sauce! My mouth is starting to water, just thinking about it…even at 7:30 in the morning. Nothing wrong with a breakfast burger is there???

  • nanlara

    i actually like the sound of the baked beans on the burger

  • Shannon Whitfield

    Oh, yum. Baked beans are perfect for a burger! I eat a lot of veggie burgers (and black bean burgers) and I love horseradish or a good stone ground mustard.

  • carissa petero

    Agh..a buttery burger with sauted onions and cheese! Or bacon and blue cheese, I am drooling!

  • Jimmy

    I like to keep it simple. I usually only put lettuce and ketchup on my burgers.

  • Jen Healthy Life Deals

    That looks delicious! I love the basics – mayo, ketchup and pickles

    I used to make ruffle, cheese, and mayo sandwiches and they were so delicious. Haha I also like to put guacamole and pickles on my burgers.
