Memorial day is coming up and when I think about get-togethers, my mind immediately drifts to baked beans, mac and cheese, spoon bread and burgers…
Truth be told, there are few things that beat a good burger in my opinion…
Now I am a huge fan of a GOODe Lean Burger, but sometimes, I am in the mood for something a little more decadent.
When I think of some of the best burgers I have ever had, few come close to those made at home… but the burgers at BT Bones in Branson, IL and Port of Call in New Orleans, LA strike my memory as contenders 😉
But since I won’t be traveling this weekend, I thought I’d turn to some of my favorite blogs and websites and see what burger recipes are out there…
First stop was none other than little sister’s blog- Much Ado About Lou.
Aunt Lou made Great Burgers for us a while back and they were amazin’. I LOVE that these burgers are half pork… I am a total sucker for a GOODe pork burger… We are kind of fans of the pig around here 😉
Speaking of Pork Burgers, these Basil and Garlic Pork Burgers over at The Hungry Mouse are sooo on my must-try list! Adding basil?!? Pure genius!
Well and ya know since I am now a Basil Farmer (I soo kid)… I totally can grow a crop to make these babies. (BTW, My brown thumbs and I are ready for our second planting… Yay me!)
Along the lines of flavors that matter to me, cause ya know, this burger quest is all about me ;)…
I am so intrigued by Jen’s recipe for Artichoke Burgers over at Mess Hall to Bistro. I love artichokes and I can imagine they will add a very yummy complexity to this burger. Gots to try it!
This Pimento Cheese-Bacon Burger from Southern Living has me drooling. Yes, please!
Miss Leah’s Fajita Burger over on Beyer Beware is so right up my alley. I just love the Mexican flavors she adds. And, let it be known, I do enjoy myself some pepper jack now and then 😉
This 50/50 Burger is all about the bacon over at Spoon Fork Bacon… actually, 50 of the 50/50 is bacon…
Now I am also a fan of the turkey burger if it is done right…
And while I often give Martha a hard time, she is known for getting things right…
Case in point? Tex Mex Turkey Burgers…
Sign. Me. Up!
My pal Heather over at Basilmomma also has a Greek Inspired Turkey Burger that is making it’s way onto my menu soon. I just love cooking with Greek yogurt, so I am really excited to give this one a try.
Last but not least, these adorable “Hamburger” Cupcakes over at Glorious Treats are soo fun!
Now my only problem is going to be deciding which one(s) to make this weekend!

Our family’s current burger addiction is stuffing the inside with herb cream cheese and a slice of American (before cooking)…delish!
