There’s no need to always get all fancy with a burger. Sometimes you just need a little sauce on top. Like this one. Ooey gooey with some kick. Keep some chips on hand in case some of the cheesy goodness drips off these queso burgers. Ok, not in case. It will drip. There’s no stopping it. These are messy burgers. You know that going in. And that’s part of what makes me them so good!
The Perfect Cheese Sauce
The cheese sauce is good on everything, from hot dogs to nachos, to mac-and-cheese. Make a double batch of it. Use half for these queso burgers. Use the other half for dipping warmed tortilla chips. Lunch is ready!
I like to use a burger press when I make burgers. It, in combination with some patty papers, enables me to crank out a whole bunch of equally-sized burger patties in no time at all with little cleanup.
If you have a smoker you’ll want to try smoking your burger patties instead of grilling them.
