BBQ Burger Bliss

Since the weather has been so amazing these past few weeks we’ve been trying to BBQ as much as possible lately.  I thought I would share a few of my tips to create the perfect burger night.  To start I always make homemade burger patties, it’s something that my mother always did growing up and it has stuck with me.  I like to toast the burger buns, as well as give guests the choice of whole wheat or white buns.  It’s a great idea to give your guests the option of adding cheese to the burger while on the grill, and to really go all out, give your guests the choice of cheese type, such as Swiss, cheddar, or feta.  Have an abundance of toppings pre-cut.  I try to include items not usually offered such as avocados, banana peppers and pineapples as well as the usual lettuce, onions and tomatoes.   Finally, I most often serve sangria as the feature drink of the night.  It’s light and fresh and goes so well with the burgers, and has become one of the signature items I serve in my home.
