Picking a Side

What sides go with the best burger recipes for grilling? We all know the usual, fries. But fries aren’t the only things you can serve with burgers. You can venture out of the norm and make special fries like garlic parmesan cheese fries or chili fries. But there are still other options out there that pair well with burgers.

Pasta salad is a good choice, you can also use a watermelon feta salad or really any type of salad. Baked beans fit perfectly well too; make them BBQ baked beans for an added punch. We can’t forget onion rings as a side either. Homemade onion rings are far superior to anything you would find in a store so go the extra mile.
