Tasty Burger Toppings For Fun Summertime Events

Hot summer days are upon us, a perfect time for family backyard barbecues, picnics, and other fun events. And what comes to mind when we think of barbecues? Well burgers are on the top of my list and are also fairly reasonably priced at the grocery store when comparing other meats.

But what can we do to spice up those burgers, other than the everyday lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and barbecue sauce? When you think about it, there are numerous things you can do to offer a unique take on the hambuger.

Below are some choices to get you started

Steak sauce instead of ketchup
Fried green tomatoes
Zucchini
Spinach dip
Macaroni and cheese
Pineapple rings, lightly cooked on the grill first
Fried red onions
Bacon
Mozzarella cheese
Thousand Island dressing
Feta cheese
Salsa
Avocado
Mushrooms
Guacamole
Sour cream
Roasted red bell peppers
Green peppers
Thinly sliced creamed cucumbers
Potato chips

As you can see, there is lots of potential when spicing things up with the ho hum, everyday burger. You can use each of the items above alone, or you can of course combine them for variety. Give your taste buds a kick and try them out. You may just find a combination that will be a big hit with your family and guests.

I have personally tried steak sauce, fried green tomatoes, thousand Island dressing, mushrooms, bacon, and feta cheese, and spinach dip on burgers and they are all excellent. But the secret to a really great burger is trying various combinations to your liking. The food items mentioned in this article are just some examples to get you started. There are many other foods that you will thinik of and may like to try. The sky is the limit.
