Shepherd's Pie Burgers and Other Best Burger Combinations

So many great burger combinations, so little time.

This weekend while out with some friends I had a veggie burger with melted blue cheese, fried shallots, carmelized mushrooms, and avocado -- heaven. I thought that was the best burger combination of all time, but then I came across Shepherd's Pie Burgers on The Food in My Beard ...

Inspired by the classic Shepherd's Pie dish, these burgers are mixed with corn, carrots, and onions and topped with garlic mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese -- heaven times two.

What's your favorite burger combination?

About the author Kim Conte

has shoes that make people stop her on the street and ask "Where did you get those?" but it doesn't work for taxi cabs as she was hit by one ... and lived to tell the tale. She has more freckles than Lohan but way less attitude. And she's a fierce cook with tons of recipes to share -- and wishes she could share some with Bourdain.

OMG. This looks amazing. Doesn't help that I'm starving right now either!

That does look extremely yum. I could make it with ground turkey and use low fat cheese for a healthier alternative too. Hmmm.

I like classic hamburger combos, lettuce, pickle, mayo, cheese.

my SO works at Red Robin... i'm always trying some kind of new burger combo, and he's always trying new ones at home too! i love CafeJenn's idea of a bit of a healthier burger, but i love the veggies that are snuck right in there!

I'm with Carey2006 on this. The first time my dad used BBQ sauce on our burgers I have to admit I thought he was nuts. My husband will only eat a plain burger but luckily my kids like them more when I add things in. Worcestershire sauce is good too.

MMm....Shepherd's pie is one of my most favorite of favorites. It's also on my taboo list...as is burgers. Darn you Kim Conte! Now I'm going to have to put this on my "definitely try" list for the once per month "cheat" :D Although, I too like Jenn's healthier version.....
