So, right about now everyone’s starting to think about firing up that grill, right? Well, this little twist on a regular burger would be great for a barbecue! Pop it into a nice, crusty Italian roll….delicious!! Now, it’s still been a little chilly here, so I cooked my burgers in a pan on top of the stove, but you can bet these will be finding their way onto our grill as the weather warms up! I like to serve these with a salad of fresh tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and basil with some olive oil, salt and pepper. And, to make them extra yummy, I drizzle them with some balsamic glaze!
