My burgers are easy I just mix in a little seasoning and grill! Jeff likes bacon so I throw a little on the grill with the burgers.

It was freezing outside tonight but well worth it for the yummy grilled burgers.I get 4 burgers out of a little over 1 pound of hamburger meat. We like burgers that cover the bun so they are big!

Add some condiments, fries, and baked beans! Presto quick dinner!
