Not sure about you but sometimes we crave a simple cheeseburger. Grilled, topped with a slice of melty American cheese, and placed on a toasted bun, yum! What makes a basic burger dinner unique are the side dishes. Beer battered french fries, homemade onion rings, and tangy coleslaw will take you right to your favorite diner. But salads, fresh veggies, and simple casseroles are also tasty sides for burgers. Next time you crave a burger, consider one of these side dish recipes.
