Who doesn’t love a good burger?

I almost stopped writing after that sentence due to a combination of writer’s block and sometimes just believing less is more. There really isn’t too much to say about this burger or about my genuine love/obsession with all things burger. I recommend serving this one on a nice hearty wheat roll with a smear of chipotle peppers and some sliced avocado. Guacamole, a quick cole slaw, or a touch of Sriracha are all also delish. Whip it up this week and begin getting ready for spring.
