Blogger Burger Club: Grilled Cheese Burger

This months burger for the Blogger Burger Club gets four stars kids! Seriously. Course, I'm biased since I've been making something a lot like this since I was a teenager, but hey. A good burgers a good burger, know what I'm saying?

I guess there was a bit of controversy when the original recipe won a contest, with people saying this isn't an actual hamburger (it won a contest, so there has to be controversy, right?), but I'm not sure where the detractors get off. I mean if you really want to you can argue almost anything, but it's a ground beef patty in between two pieces of bread. That's a burger. I figure if you can call an open faced burger a burger then this is totally a burger. Shall I say it once more? Ok, burger.

Anyway, it's exactly what the name implies and it's awesome. I might just go make one for lunch today. Do you like burgers? Then head on over to Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice and get in on the Burger Club. It's a good time.

Blogger Burger Club: Green Chile & Cream Cheese Burgers

Hamburgers are quite possibly my all time favorite food, I've probably eaten more of them than anything else. I used to eat one at least three or four times a week when I was a teenager and always had access to a grill. I can remember days when I would eat a burger for every meal of the day. Not the healthiest of diets to be sure, but it does remind me that I need to post my breakfast burger. Heh.

Anyway, burgers are awesome, so when Reeni over at Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice announced she was starting a Blogger Burger Club I was all about it. The way it works is she's going to announce a burger every few weeks and then people will make and rate it. This time it's green chilies and cream cheese and I just so happened to have all the ingredients on hand. So I made them. And they're wicked good.

The recipe is in the link above, but they're pretty simple. You saute up some onion and green chili or jalapenos and put that and some cream cheese on a burger. The cream cheese balances out the heat of the peppers and the flavors go really well together. Reeni had used green chilies and wished they had had a bit more heat. I used the same jarred, roasted green chilies I used in the green chili, chicken and bean enchiladas I made recently and they're fairly hot, but I would have liked a bit more oomph myself. Next time I'm going to do half and half green chilies and jalapenos, I bet that would be a good time.

To rate it, I give it three stars.
It probably could have had four with bacon. Heh.
