I hope everyone is enjoying the first full day of college football and the Labor Day weekend! We are going to be watching tons of football and grilling out all weekend. This burger is most definitely on the menu. It has amazing flavor and is packed full of yummy bacon. Bacon is not only on top of this burger, it is ground up inside the burger too! Bacon overload!
These burgers tasted incredible. They were better than most burgers we eat out. We loved all the bacon and the smokey BBQ sauce. You could really kick this up and use the maple bacon from the burger I posted earlier this week. This recipe makes 6 burgers. We grilled three a few weeks ago and are grill the remaining burgers tonight. I can't wait!

Its been ages since I have been to NO and cant remember everywhere we ate but I liked everywhere we went! I can only imagine it has changed so much since I have been there.
ReplyDeleteIt's LONG past time for me to travel to The Big Easy... they'll have to roll me home though! I'd love to take a trip, and stay for a few weeks just to soak it all in, and eat it all up.

I have never been to New Orleans but I would love to someday! Since I am a big Jimmy Buffett fan, I'd have to say Cafe DuMonde (where the donuts are too hot to touch). Anywhere that has beignets is where I need to be!
