Rachael Ray’s 9 Most Popular Burger Recipes of All Time

Rachael Ray is the burger queen. Not only does the celebrity chef host two Burger Bash events every year, but she also has an entire book devoted entirely to burgers. Obviously, the host of The Rachael Ray Show knows a number of different ways to make a burger. Here are her nine most popular burger recipes of all time.

9. Rachael Ray’s Sweet Onion Burgers with Vinegar Oven Fries

Ray’s recipe for Sweet Onion Burgers features her favorite burger sauce. She told The New York Post, “My favorite burger sauce is combining sour cream, ketchup, Wickles pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, celery seed, salt, pepper, and grated onion. That’s my special sauce. I use it religiously on burgers.”

8. Apple Dijon Turkey Cheeseburgers with Caramelized Onions

For her Apple Dijon Turkey Cheeseburgers with Caramelized Onions recipe, Ray suggests using Gala or Honeycrisp apples. She also has a suggestion for making the perfect burger patty.

“Always make it a little thinner at the center and thicker at the edges, for two reasons: for even cooking, and so you end up with a flat burger,” Ray says. “Burgers will plump as you cook them. Most people end up with flying saucers that are burnt on the edges and still raw in the middle, especially if they’re grilling. This fixes all that.”

7. Portobello Parm Burgers

The TV chef doesn’t leave out the vegetarians when it comes to her burger recipes. Ray’s Portobello Parm Burgers are all-mushroom burgers that feature a sauce made with ketchup, balsamic vinegar, and mayonnaise.

6. Rachael Ray’s Chili Burgers with BBQ Coleslaw

The highlight of Ray’s Chili Burgers with BBQ Coleslaw are the toppings – a quick chili sauce and a sweet-tangy red coleslaw. In fact, you can make Chili Dogs instead of Chili Burgers if you prefer because this recipe is interchangeable.

5. Canadian Spiced Burgers with Quebec Green Ketchup and Poutine

We’re not gonna lie – this one takes some time and effort. But, the results you’ll get with Ray’s recipe for Canadian Spiced Burgers with Quebec Green Ketchup and Poutine are totally worth it.

3. Rachael Ray’s ‘Retake on Salisbury Steak’ Knife & Fork Burgers
