Ok.. I know everyone knows how to make a cheeseburger. But we made these for dinner last night and I had to share with you all. They were DELICIOUS.
California Burgers:
- buns
- 1 lb. ground beef
- mayo
- garlic
- monterrey jack cheese slices
- bacon
- tomato slices
- avocado slices
1. create 4 evenly sized burger patties. season well with salt & pepper, garlic and onion powder.
2. smash a clove or 2 of garlic with salt and run your knife across it to make a paste. add to a few tablespoons of mayo and set aside.
3. while your hubby has the burgers on the grill, fry up the bacon, cut the tomatoes and the avocado. I added salt and lime juice to the avocado slices to prevent them from oxidizing. this is optional, but recommended.
4. in the last few minutes of cooking, add cheese to the burger patties.
5. slater garlic mayo on the bun (i put it on both pieces, but i really like mayo and garlic)
6. place tomato on bottom bun. then burger patty. then bacon. then avocado.
7. put the other half of the bun on and devour. :)
