By David Sweet, About.com

Hamburgers are one of the staples at many campsites, but many great recipes also use hamburger as their main ingredient. Want to try something different than just a burger on a bun? Check out these popular hamburger recipes sent in from fellow campers.

1. Burger Boats

Submitted by Michelle Warren: This recipe can either be placed on a grill or laid in the coals. You can also make this as a whole dish instead of individuals, in the Dutch oven, or Crock-pot.

2. Tacos in a Bag

Submitted by Girl Scout Troop #149: Easy clean up. Great for the last meal before breaking camp. This is our favorite recipe!

3. Hamburger Foil Dinners

Submitted by Rosemary: This was always one of our favorites when I was a kid because mom always just cut up the potatoes and onions and we put it together ourselves.

4. Hobo Dinner

Submitted by Karen Dishaw: An easy one to make on the grill or the campfire.

5. All In The Mix

Submitted by Lit'l John: This is something me and my brother threw together on our last night of camping a couple years ago.

6. Salisbury Steak

Submitted by Rhonda: Serve over rice.

7. Fiesta Macaroni and Cheese

Submitted by Jim: Quick and easy to prepare. My Venture Scouts love it, and they can make it easily on the trail.

8. KIMA

Submitted by Tanya Craig: The wonderful smell of the curry will bring everyone running, even the little ones. I have four children and this is one of the few meals everyone in the family will eat.

9. Beans o' Fire

Submitted by Rodney Jordan: The flavor comes primarily from the sausage. If you want some heat, use a hot chili seasoning with Jalapeno peppers instead of the banana peppers.

10. Mark's Sloppy Joes

Submitted by Mark Thompson: As a camping meal this has been a regular request for lunch. It may seem mild, so if you like it zesty add a little hot pepper to it for an added kick.
