Cheddar Bacon Hamburgers

This was a great (and super EASY) hamburger recipe! It was perfect for the weather yesterday - still a little chilly out there but really beautiful and sunny too. It was nice to get to use the grill - I'm looking forward to getting to use it more as the weather warms up!

We each fixed up our buns the way we like them and added some baked french fries and all really enjoyed this meal. I know Kent will be asking for the one leftover hamburger patty for lunch tomorrow! :)

Just a few ingredients, ready to go!

Plated up and ready to dig in!

Tastes as good as it looks!!
