What makes a burger the ultimate grill champion and a dish that all food lovers can get behind? Whether you’re a beef eater, prefer chicken or are living your best veggie life, there’s a burger for everyone.
With Father’s Day right around the corner, why not create the ultimate burger for dad? This loaded nacho burger is made with a prime rib patty and features a layer of gooey jalapeño-studded Monterey Jack cheese.
