Sammich Saturday: Cabo Beach Burger

 



After one of the longest, short weeks of my life, I am very excited to see Saturday again. And I'm even more excited to share this delicious burger with you! I knew when I first saw it on Pinterest, that it was a burger after my own heart. I made only a few minor changes to the beef to flavor it up some, and when it was all said and done...it was one of the best burgers I have had in a very long time. Maybe next time I'll add a few jalapenos to it. Yesss...that sounds divine.

I hope that you are having a wonderful first Saturday of June, and if you are planning or attending any summer kick-off parties, you should definitely consider adding this burger to the menu. You won't be sorry.
