62 Best Burger Recipes You'll Be Making All Summer Long
Get those tongs ready—it's grilling season.

Get those grill tongs a-clickin', it's burger-grilling time! As far as summer grub goes, there's no better way to fuel up for all the beach days, poolside BBQs, and potlucks on your summer calendars than with a nice, juicy burger. And we're not just talking a regular ol' cheeseburger, either. Ha! Far from it. There's no plain Jane burgers on the menu here at Delish; from our veggie burger even meat-eaters will crave (seriously) or something more outside the box, like a shrimp katsu burger or a lamb burger, we've got 62 next-level recipes for everyone at your cookout.
No matter how you cook up your burgers, start with a simple—but flavor-packed—burger seasoning to begin your path to grilling greatness. Plenty of kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper (like, way more than you think you need) is our best secret to creating crispy-edged patties for our smash burgers, but there are infinite paths to take from there. Our personal favorite involves sprinkling Old Bay (and maybe even Old Bay hot sauce) into the patty blend (especially if you go the crab cake burger route), but truly the sky's the limit.
Speaking of, there's really no end to all the creative ways you can top a burger. From fast food sauce copycats like on our Shake Shack burgers or our Big Macs, to fun fruits and veggies like the caramelized onions on our bison burger or the pineapple on our Maui burgers, to the dinner-inspired toppings on our chicken Parm burgers or our pizza burgers, there's truly something here for everyone.
No grill? No problem! Baking a burger in the oven is actually ideal for when you're working with ground turkey or chicken; the oven has a more evenly consistent temperature that ensures a fully cooked—and tender and juicy!—patty. Our oven-baked turkey burgers are proof that turkey burgers can be anything but dry and boring. Ever thought of trying an air fryer cheeseburger? If the air fryer is your jam, it might convince you to never go back to grilling.
With all these burgers on the table, don't stop there. Load up on our favorite double-fried French fries, salt 'n' pepper sweet potato fries, and our favorite BBQ sides and salads too.
