Attention all spicy lovers: I’ve got quite the recipe for you!
This cheese burger tastes like a hot wing, and if you are having a grilling party or weekday bbq, this is the perfect recipe to make in a short time.
Tom and I really enjoy spicy food. Whenever I ask Tom what is missing from a recipe, his answer is always sriracha (even for dessert recipes). Although I love sriracha, it is not always the answer but today is Tom’s day, and in his honor, sriracha will be welcomed into Chop Happy Land.
In true Chop Happy style, this cheese burger takes 10 minutes to make with some store-bought help and stress-free cooking tips.
Technique Tips:
-
When the burgers are on the grill, don’t press on the burger – that will release all the juice.
-
I love making patties 1 day ahead to make the barbecue stress-free. Just don’t forget to take them out of the fridge 30 minutes before you grill them so they can come to room temperature.
-
Make the patties 1 inch bigger than the bun. Burgers shrink on the grill, and you want every bite to have the perfect bun-to-meat ratio!
-
Once the burger is on the grill, don’t touch the burger until it is time to flip it. This will allow the burger to get a deep, rich crust that makes it extra delicious.
-
As always, this recipe is part of my mission to provide you with 2 goals:1) To make amazingly simple homemade comfort food.2) To learn fun tips to make cooking fun.
