I've looked up a few and bookmarked a few recipes from the interwebs but i was wondering what are some of your favorites? Just moved into a new place with a new roommate (we both are working and going to school full time which leaves our status as "broke college kids"). The options with things like burgers are endless; the famous burger with different cheeses in the middle, different rubs and herb mixes to mix in with the ground beef. Pasta's things like this, that are on the cheap side. I'll throw my go-to burger recipe up here.

2/3 Ground beef
1/3 pork (the pork has more fat then the beef does to give it some extra flavor. Only downside is you can't make your burgers rare/mid-rare which is how i like my red meat)
A1 Sauce
Salt/ground black pepper
Oregano
Basil
Garlic
Tyme
Rosemary

Throw everything into a giant mixing bowling and mix away! I always do my herbs in a small dish and A1 just pour right into the mix. The A1 sauce will give it that A1 taste but won't overpower it and also keep things juicy.

Top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon even do the double patty with cheese in the middle. Or if your feeling squirrelly cook up some bacon chop it up and throw it in the mix!
