The possibilities really are endless when it comes to cheeseburger combinations! Here are some of my favorite types:
- Classic – Beef patty, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and American cheese

- Hawaiian – Teriyaki-glazed beef patty topped with grilled pineapple and Swiss cheese
- BBQ – Ground beef patty smothered in barbecue sauce and cheddar cheese

- Greek – Lamb patty topped with tzatziki sauce and feta cheese
- Veggie – Portobello mushroom cap stuffed with roasted vegetables and goat cheese
Different Proteins for Your Cheeseburger
Cheeseburgers don’t have to be made exclusively from beef patties – you can also opt for other proteins such as turkey, chicken, pork or even fish. Here are some great options for alternative proteins:
- Turkey — Ground turkey seasoned with garlic powder, oregano and basil topped with provolone cheese
- Chicken — Grilled chicken breast topped with Parmesan cheese
- Pork — Ground pork seasoned with sage and nutmeg then topped with Havarti Cheese
- Fish — Fried haddock fillet topped with cheddar-jack cheese mix
Whichever type of protein you choose for your cheeseburger will depend on your own personal preferences. Just remember that whatever you decide on should still be cooked through thoroughly before eating.
With so many different types of cheeseburgers out there—from classic to creative—you’ll never run out of tasty options for National Cheeseburger Day (or any day!) And don’t forget that there are plenty of alternative proteins to choose from too! So fire up the grill or preheat your oven – it’s time to celebrate National Cheeseburger Day in style!
