I love a good burger… let alone TWELVE of them! Burgers can be so satisfying, whether they come off a smoky grill or are cooked on the stovetop, or even in your air fryer. When they are juicy and topped with all the right toppings, they are hard to resist. Plus, of course, you eat them with your hands which always makes meal time more fun!
As much as I love a traditional burger, one of the beautiful things about a burger is how versatile it can be. You don’t have to stick to beef, or even turkey or chicken. There are so many different burgers you can make before you even start to get creative with toppings.
Check out the burgers below for some of my favorites. Maybe there’s one that will become your favorite too!
