I don’t need to tell you that burgers are popular—always have been for Americans. What better sandwich to serve on an all-American holiday than grilled burgers?

Bacon Burgers have just a little twist from a basic burger. The bacon goes inside these burgers, instead of on the top and they are seasoned with a little barbecue sauce instead of ketchup. They are topped with the spring sweet onions (Vidalia, Walla Walla, Maui, Texas Sweet) which are now available in the supermarkets. (For the burger recipe, just click on the words: Bacon Burgers.)
There are more great burger recipes in this new magazine--available at newsstands on June 1st. You will find recipes for: Zesty Italian Turkey Burgers, Grilled Mushroom Swiss Burgers, Caesar Pita Burgers, Bistro Burgers and even a recipe for Portabella Mushroom Burgers.

If you prefer to treat yourself and go out for a burger, check out these websites: Twin Cities Burgers and Hoosier Burger Boy. My favorite burger chain is Smashburger because of their delicious fries that are seasoned with rosemary, olive oil, garlic and other herbs. They also serve veggie fries (gren beans, asparagus and carrots!).
