The cheeseburger! It's easily as American as apple pie. We love the simplicity of a basic cheeseburger from the grill, of course. But sometimes we want to gild the lily a little. 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 Allrecipes Allstar 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."
