My friends and I enjoy grilling. Neither rain, nor wind, nor snow (yes – we’ve actually grilled while it’s snowing) has stopped us from enjoying freshly grilled ‘dogs and burgers. Of course when you grill that often, you need to get creative with your recipes – mix things up a little bit to keep your palette happy and interested.
This recipe was inspired by one of my friends who LOVES breakfast. If given the choice, he would eat breakfast for each meal of the day, and he probably has at some point. With this burger, we’re giving a nod to our favorite breakfast foods. You can serve this recipe with baked beans, but another great option is the new Tangy Carolina BBQ chips from Lay’s.
Lay’s has just introduced 7 new, regionally inspired flavors which includes: Honey Mustard, Chipotle Ranch, and Cajun Herb & Spice. I think the northwestern inspired Balsamic Sweet Onion sounds delicious. The new Lay’s Regional Flavored potato chips are made with all natural ingredients and 0 grams of transfats. I’ve only tasted Tangy Caroline BBQ so far and they are GOOD – definitely tangy, providing a nice twist on the traditional BBQ.
