But that’s not the only topping a cheeseburger should have — these versatile sandwiches can be topped with anything from sliced jalapeños to creamy peanut butter (yes, peanut butter). The best part? Most cheeseburgers can be ready and on the table in about a half hour, which makes them a hearty and irresistible option for busy weeknight meals. They’re even better for feeding a crowd, and these recipes are perfect for a backyard barbecue. Not sure how to grill the perfect burger? Check out our guide for more tips and tricks.
