Acadiana style:

Sear them on both sides, put into a slow cooker with a bottle of jack miller's on low for an hour or two. Load up on a bun or some Evangeline Maid bread. Crack a cold beer.

Not gourmet, but it ain't bad either.

Nowadays this is actually the "different" burger. It's a shame too, this is the best recipe.

I've been enjoying the "smashed" method recently - basically, get a ball of seasoned ground chuck, smash it down right after putting it on the skillet/griddle to maximize the crust, then flip and top with American cheese. Tastes like a good diner burger.

There are tons of recipes out there, here's one:

My wife and I rented "The Founder" last night and watched it again today. So we're going to McDonalds tonight. She's going to have her first Big Mac and I'm getting a couple of their regular burgers.

I recommend the movie - very interesting. The Big Mac and Ronald McDonald were never mentioned.

Your wife has never had a Big Mac? What a pathetic loser!

Chopped spinach and feta mixed with the meat. That's the go to at our house. Here's one I did on a toasted, homemade buns with extra feta, avocado and bacon.

I add chopped grilled onions to the recipe then throw them on the smoker
