Hamburger with cheese is what I’d have when on the road trip. It’s convenient and reasonably priced. However there’s no reason not cook burgers at home. You will then know exactly what goes into those patties, no mystery meats and also you can control how you want them cooked. There’s nothing worse than dried over cooked beef patties. I prefer my burger medium rare.
