12. The central Michigan version is this green olive based, but you could do black olives instead

From Google- pThe olive burger is a regional hamburger variety originating in Michigan, particularly in the Central Michigan region spanning from Flint to Grand Rapids. The burger generally features a beef patty topped with chopped green olives and a mayonnaise-based sauce or spread, sometimes with added Swiss cheese and lettuce.

The recipe I started with, but adjusted to my liking, the image is neater then mine.

I mix cream cheese with sliced green olives for the burger topping.

One of my favorite burgers
