For all the burger lovers out there, we’ve put together our top five brilliant burger recipes. From pork to salmon, beef to black beans, this succulent selection of tasty treats is packed with ideas for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.

Beef Burgers with Beetroot & Carrot Slaw

Featuring a juicy beef patty, zingy, crunchy slaw, and a brioche bun, you can’t go wrong with this classic burger recipe.

Jamie Oliver’s Loaded Beefburger

All you need to make these mouthwatering cheese- and pepper-stuffed burgers are seven ingredients and one pan.

Beef and Barley Burgers

Beef burgers, but with a wholegrain upgrade. Adding the cooked barley makes these beef patties tender and moist with a great texture. Ideal for your next barbecue!

Mary Berry’s Salmon and Dill Burger with Lemon Caper Mayonnaise

For a lighter take on the humble burger, look no further than this Mary Berry recipe, which combines fresh and smoked salmon for extra depth of flavour.

Calypso Chicken Burgers

Levi’s got the idea for cooking chicken in foil at the Boston Jerk Festival in Jamaica. Boston is the HQ of barbecue, so where better to learn a trick like this? It means the chicken burger stays together in one piece and is easy to cook and eat.

Pork and Apple Burgers with Celeriac Slaw

Pork and apple are a classic combination – like lamb and mint or beef and horseradish. A few years ago when butchers and supermarkets came up with pork and apple sausages, Dean thought all his dreams had come true! He then took things one step further to make this incredible burger.

Black Bean Burgers

These meatless burgers are sandwiched between a classic bun with all the toppings – sliced pickles, tomato, onion, lettuce, Thousand Island dressing (or mayo and ketchup) and mustard. If you don’t have black beans, then kidney beans are a great alternative.
