You can elevate boring burgers with a dash of hot sauce or sriracha to give them a kick of heat. Seasonings like Creole, taco, and Italian seasonings will surely liven up your burger. Topping it with complex flavors from salad dressing or salsa instead of plain mayo also works great.
You can’t go wrong with fries, onion rings, coleslaw, and potato salad because burgers are meant for salads and finger foods.
