No matter how bad you are in the kitchen, there are some recipes you can't botch. Try these 15 ideas for guaranteed cooking success.

Cheeseburgers 1/15

Cheeseburgers

A simple, classic crowd-pleaser. Divide your burger buns, and warm them in the oven on very low heat. Grill the burger patties or cook them in a pan on the stove. Place the cheese slices on the patties while still cooking to ensure they melt. Remove the buns from the oven, and garnish them as you like, with lettuce, tomato, onion and thinly sliced pickles (the bread-and-butter kind works well). Add any preferred sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise or hot sauce. Assemble the burgers, and serve with fries or potato chips on the side. So easy, and you can make it fancier by selecting freshly baked gourmet hamburger buns and offering a variety of cheeses. Enjoy!
