And these cheeseburger recipes add a little something extra — a spicy sauce, some over-the-top toppings, a secret stuffing — because, sometimes, more of a good thing is just the right amount!

Put an egg on it! "The combination of the egg and the aioli makes this burger special," says Chef V. "Grab a few napkins, it can get deliciously messy! When assembling the burger I recommend you spread the aioli on the bottom bun so the top bun is available for the egg."

Super easy, just go down to your local farmers market and pick up some fresh ingredients from local purveyors to make an amazingly light but meaty late-afternoon grilled burger.
