Name: Hamburger Varients
Submitted by: Talin

Everyone knows how to make a hamburger on the grill...
Grab the ground beef, divide in to portions, flatten, grill...
BORING!

Mexican Burgers:
Love tacos? Love Hamburgers? Add some taco seasoning to your hamburgers before you divide them into portions, and grill them that way! You choice of hot or mild. Serve with salsa and Jack cheese.

Blue Cheese Burgers:
Grab a package of Blue Cheese and mix it into the Ground Beef before you grill. The cheese will melt right in to the burgers, and the little kick it gives will go over great

Ranch Burgers:
Grab yourselves a part of the farm, we're going to the Ranch. (bad joke.. I know.) Get a bottle of Ranch dressing, and pour in some before you divide those burgers. It'll make it a little bit messier to portion out.. But ohhh... It tastes so good.
