More Than a Mouthful Cheesylicious Cheeseburger


OH MY!


Delicious, cheesy, yummy, cheesy, yes I said cheesy twice. This burger is more than a mouthful. Hello people, you know I have been grilling since Mother's Day.

I just realized that I had not made a beef burger on my site since we started this blogging thing. I wanted to create a monster burger and I think I've accomplished my mission.

 
First things first, I started with ground chuck. Ground chuck will give you just the amount of fat ratio to make a nice, juicy burger.

Trick: I added a little olive oil to the meat for moisture and a lot of my favorite spices. Using a 1 cup measuring cup I formed this 1/2 pound beauties.


Good buns, great cheese, equates to a great burger.  It doesn't matter what meat you use, if you fail to have a great burger bun and great cheese, you have defeated your purpose of creating a great burger.

I purchased freshly made buns from my baker, I used Gouda, mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheeses. Also, don't forget the fresh tomatoes and lettuce. A little mayonnaise and it's heaven on a plate.


Look at this burger people, I told you it was more than a mouthful. And yes people, that is a Jarritos in the background!
