Barbecue Burger
For a spicy flavor, try topping your burgers with barbecue sauce instead of ketchup, or incorporate barbecue sauce into the burgers themselves. Add a squeeze of lime juice and serve with leaf lettuce, tomato, red onion and chopped pickle on a sesame seed bun.

Cookbook author Sally Sampson creates burgers for every week of the year
When Sally Sampson started creating burger recipes for Recipe of the Week: Burgers, the New York City native didn't have years of cookout experience to draw from. But once she got the go-ahead to write the burger book, Sampson bought the biggest charcoal grill she could find and buckled down to making burgers. Using ideas from burgers she'd eaten and dishes that could be turned into burgers, she created 52 recipes—one for each week of the year.
Cheesy, smoky or sweet, these recipes offer something for everyone.
