Hamburgers are the American classic. Served with pickles, lettuce, and tomato on a toasted bun, there are a number of variants worth considering. Just make sure that the meat is well-cooked for whatever temperature you to avoid food poisoning.
There are a number of fun variants. Most of those involve changing the condiment. The most popular are barbecue and buffalo sauce, but you can use just about anything. Try a hamburger with peanut butter at least once in your lifetime.
You can also grill the hamburger in a number of different ways as well. Frying it in soy or hoisin sauce makes for some great flavor, although steak or worcestershire sauce can be used as well.
Making a stuffed burger can be a lot easier than it seems. Fry off whatever you want to put into the burger, and then cover the center of the burger with just a couple of tablespoons of material. Take another patty and cover it, and then squeeze together the edges of the burgers. Then grill it off. Diced mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes, and green onions all work, especially if you melt a little cheese into the mix as well.
Vegetarians should try a portabello mushroom cap or a garden burger. Anything you can do to a burger patty you can do with those two, although putting it on a bun may be a bit too many carbs in one sandwich.
Interestingly, just putting any of these on a wheat bun makes it great for those on a diet.
