In my continuing quest for new and different hamburgers, I found these yummy Korean Bulgogi Burgers. Korean Bulgogi is a dish consisting of marinated beef (usually sirloin) which is then grilled and sliced thinly. These burgers use the ingredients typically found in Bulgogi marinade and adds them to the burger itself. I served these burgers with a few baby Romaine leaves and sliced tomatoes.

My kids all liked the burgers; however a couple of them chose not to add the onion topping to their burger. (I didn't tell them that there were onions mixed into the burger!) My youngest decided to have seconds, but not until after we had cleared the table, of course. As I was doing the dishes, he swiped the last burger from the plate! He plunked himself down next to the dishwasher, happily eating his burger while I cleaned up the kitchen. I was just thrilled he didn't take off running with hamburger crumbles trailing behind him!

If you are looking for a new take on your typical burger give this recipe a try!
