Not sure about you but sometimes we crave a simple cheeseburger. Grilled, topped with a slice of melty American cheese, and placed on a toasted bun, yum! What makes a basic burger dinner unique are the side dishes. Beer battered French fries, homemade onion rings, and tangy slaw will take you right to your favorite diner. But salads, fresh veggies, and simple casseroles are also tasty sides for burgers. Next time you crave a burger, consider one of these side dish recipes.
Pasta Slaw
“We came up with this recipe after eating pasta slaw at Nordy’s BBQ. Neither my husband nor the kids would really eat coleslaw until we tried this recipe. Now, it’s a family favorite that we make regularly. My father will ask for a little of the dressing to put on his hamburger. He says it tastes like a Frisko Freeze hamburger.” – Shelene
Battered French Fries
“A change from regular fries. These are battered just like when you batter chicken or fish. They are very, very good!” – Maria
Basil Tomato Salad
“I love this salad! Not only does it taste yummy… It’s extremely easy! The best of both worlds.” – Belinda
Mexican Street Corn
“Here’s a great side dish to go along with your grilled New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburgers – Mexican Street Corn just like you’d get south of the border.” – Wiley
Grilled Fresh Green Beans
“This bean and veggie combination is even more delicious cooked outside on the grill. Leave the bacon out for a healthier/vegetarian dish.” – Lynn
Loaded Summer Squash Casserole
“My family loves my version of squash casserole. A lot of recipes use cream of mushroom soup, but I use cream of celery instead because it adds great flavor to the dish. The great thing about this recipe is its versatility. You can easily manipulate texture and taste.” – Julie
Old-Fashioned Fried Onion Rings
“These came out so good! Light, crunchy, and just plain delish.” – Bonnie
Southern Baked Beans
“These Southern Baked Beans are sticky and sweet with just enough saltiness to balance the flavors. This is the last recipe you need.” – Debbie
Caramelized Onion and Pepper Potato Salad
“Was trying to think of how I could make potato salad without my usual ingredients and this popped in my mind. First the onions and then the rest developed as I went… it turned out really delicious!” – Sharron
Street Corn – Casserole Style
“This is a more portable and less messy version of my original grilled street corn recipe.” – Martha
Hot German Potato Salad
“Super easy, this one-skillet hot German potato salad with vinegar and bacon is a great side dish.” – Opal
Parmesan Asparagus
“This is the only way to eat asparagus! Very good!!! This is asparagus tossed in a garlic butter sauce and then topped with freshly grated Parmesan.” – A
Greek Salad (Horiatiki Salata)
“A Greek salad with tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, Feta, and Greek dressing.” – Kevin
