Brace yourself—burger season is upon us. But before you pull out that charcoal, take a minute to consider the array of options. Don't get us wrong, we love to keep it simple (the classic Old-Fashioned Cheeseburger is right up our alley). But if you're feeling feisty, take a look at our favorite seasoning combos to inspire your Memorial Day bash.

Get Exotic. Add some Middle Eastern flair to your grill with these Lamb Burgers. The unexpected hit of cumin and coriander will leave you craving more.

Get Game-time Flavor. Can’t make it out to the ballpark? Channel your favorite sausage and pepper sandwich with these fennel-packed Pork Burgers with Peppers.

Get Spicy! When jalepeno and Monterrey Jack go into your patties, you can’t go wrong.  Make these ultra-juicy Southwestern Turkey Burgers—you won’t regret it.

 

Get Cheesy. Nothing compliments beef like horseradish and worcestershire sauce. Try these Cheddar-Horseradish Burgers and we’re sure you’ll agree.

Get into Seasonings. Classic Indian seasonings like cardamom and ginger take these Tandoori-Style Chicken Burgers over the edge. Served in pitas or on buns, they’re sure to wow.
