Nothing is better than a grilled burger with all your favorite
toppings on a nice soft bun. Especially
this time of year. It is one of our
family's favorites. I like to amp up our
burgers a little bit and have them prepared and ready for anytime we get the
urge to light the grill.

1/3 cup salsa
1 Tbs. finely chopped

Chipoltle Cheeseburger

1 cup grated sharp cheddar
cheese (or any other favorite cheese)
1 to 2 finely chopped

For smaller batches begin with the basic recipe and then add the
additional ingredients to make other varieties.
I like to do this and make four patties of three different types to keep
in the freezer. I have substituted
ground turkey for the beef and find they stay together much nicer if I grill
them while they are frozen rather than thawing them first.
These are also fantastic as sliders served on regular dinner rolls
as buns. Just divide into 32 equal parts
and shape your small slider patties.
Now get busy and get grilling!
Enjoy!
Yummy :-)
