The old saying goes that even when cheeseburgers are bad, they&#8217;re still pretty good, but it never hurts to tweak a tried-and-true recipe to create a&nbsp;unique, mouthwatering dish. Try out these variations on the classic cheeseburger&nbsp;this summer &#8212; we bet you won&#8217;t regret it!<\/p>\n<h3>Cheese-Stuffed Burgers<\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;ve tried cheese melted on top of a burger patty, but what about&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/brokeassgourmet.com\/articles\/inside-out-cheeseburgers\" target=\"_blank\">cheese in the middle<\/a>? The so-called &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/aht.seriouseats.com\/archives\/2010\/04\/the-burger-lab-how-to-make-a-foolproof-juicy-jucy-lucy-cheese-stuffed-burger.html\" target=\"_blank\">Juicy Lucy<\/a>&#8221; style of burgers has been somewhat of a trend lately, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saveur.com\/article\/Recipes\/Blue-Cheese-Stuffed-Burgers\" target=\"_blank\">this Saveur recipe<\/a> ups the ante by using salty, tangy blue cheese in place of more common cheddar or American. For this specific recipe, we recommend cooking with Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/cheese-library\/Bay-Blue\" target=\"_blank\">Bay Blue<\/a>&nbsp;if you can find it (it&#8217;s scarce here on the East Coast) &#8212; its&nbsp;earthy flavors will blend well with the pickled cremini&nbsp;mushrooms atop the burger. Or, if you&#8217;re craving something more sweet-and-salty, try our recipe for <a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/recipes\/sirloin-burgers-blue-cheese-fig-preserves\" target=\"_blank\">Sirloin Burgers with Blue Cheese and Fig Preserves<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Smashed Burgers<\/h3>\n<p>You can keep your quarter pounder &#8212; the days of bragging about the heft of your burger are <em>so&nbsp;<\/em>over. This is the era of revitalizing an old school classic: the ultra-thin, ultra-crispy smashburger. The smashburger is a griddled, thin patty, and one of the easiest and most delicious recipes out there. How convenient!&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/firstwefeast.com\/eat\/how-to-make-smashburger\/\" target=\"_blank\">According to Chris Schonberger of First We Feast<\/a>:&nbsp;<\/span><\/span>&#8220;The technique dates back to the early days of the American fast-food burger,&nbsp;before chains started using frozen meat. Working with a malleable hunk of fresh beef allowed cooks to smash it into their grease-splatted griddles with a spatula, thus increasing the surface area and boosting the caramelized flavor.&#8221; The smashburger may have&nbsp;been popularized by the <a href=\"http:\/\/smashburger.com\" target=\"_blank\">restaurant<\/a> of the same name, but that doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t craft one in your own home!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Veggie Burgers that Hold Their Own<\/h3>\n<p>Gone are the days of tasteless patties made of soy or tofu. Today&#8217;s veggie burgers have the bulk, flavor, and yes, cheese, to make any meat eater green with envy.
