A silly question I know, but Im bored, and hungry, lol, and making hamburgers for dinner.
I like a big thick burger, pink in the middle, with mayo and a ton of black pepper. Maybe some thin, I mean see through thin sliced onion. Teeny garlic dill pickles and big fat home cut fries on the side.
Second favorite would be a grilled burger with pickles and big honking slices of onion and lots of BBQ sauce. Must have coleslaw on the side and an ear of grilled corn wouldn't hurt.

I like mine to be on the thinner side, cooked medium, with mayo (prefer miracle whip) and mustard on the top bun, ketchup on the bottom bun, and lettuce, chopped onion, american cheese, and pickles.

Ever burger I have must have sauteed mushrooms. It's not a real burger without them. Other than that, lettuce, tomato, pickles, cheese, ketchup, mustard, and a couple onions.

Medium rare with a little pink inside. DH wants all his meat WELL done, so usually when he's grilling I'll eat the hamburger all the way cooked


We usually put on (if we have it), lettuce, tomato, mayo, cheese, onions, mushrooms, ketchup.

I don't like putting mayo & ketchup together, but he does.

I like my burgers med-rare. I usually also put pepper and garlic powder on them before cooking. If I have tomatoes I like them and a little lettuce on them with ketchup and mayo, slice of red onion too. Now I'm hungry also.

I prefer double burgers - two thinnish patties with swiss cheese melted between and topped with thinly sliced dill pickles. lots of pickles. Ketchup on the side. Also well done, will not eat even remotely pink hamburger.

I like the burger thin, I don't like having to struggle to eat a big hamburger, lol
/w american cheese, ketchup, mustard, chopped onion, and pickle.

Yeah, pretty boring. I actually don't like hamburger that much at all, the only hamburger I've actually tried and liked are from Mcdonalds (Isn't that sick?), but I don't trust their meat anymore

McD's new angus burgers aren't bad, but the rest are disgusting!

My fav fast food burgers are from Carls. Just hold the "special sauce" and cheese, but add mustard. YUM!

That "special sauce" ain't so special when it contains sweet pickle relish, yuck!

There are a few places locally that I like to order hamburgers (definitely NOT the Golden Arch Supper Club), because I can trust them to feed me a fairly thick patty, not murdered (can't usually get them to do it med rare the way I like, but as long as there's still some pink, that's OK) with no bun. I really like to have fries (or even yam fries) and a bun makes just too much carbs. Depends on my mood as to what garnishes I want. If I'm doing them at home, I usually have mustard, relish or pickles, sauteed onion, sauteed mushrooms, one of the Swiss type cheeses, bacon. And in that case, I can cook the burger the way I like it
, not the way the Health Department prescribes

Costco sells precooked frozen cheeseburgers in a box - Pierre Signature Flame Broiled Angus Cheeseburgers. They are actually very good, but I pull the cheese off, cuz I don't like cheese on my burgers. They have that outdoor grilled taste, and you nuke them and add your own condiments. Really great when you have a craving, and you aren't cooking for a crowd.

Well first of all, you can't use frozen patties! Fresh ground lean, atleast 90%. I usually do a mixture of diced onion (red, white, optional), cilantro, Worcestershire sauce, Adobo, and ground beef. Keep pan moist while cooking, add a couple tablespoons of water if necessary and cook to desired.
I love mushroom Swiss burgers
Cheddar avocado
bacon cheddar
