Yoop- These were yummy! I made no changes except to divide it in half since there are only two of us. I topped each burger with a slice of pepper jack cheese and let it melt before I took them off of the grill. They had a hint of sweetness that was very interesting. A great variation of a plain ol' burger!

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
