yummy burgers! I doubled it to make 2. I made exactly as posted except I didn't toast the bun and I cooked the burger in a frying pan. The swiss cheese was perfect with the onion, bacon, and barbecue sauce. Thanks for the keeper :) -
This burger is so good. We just omitted the onion cause I didn't have red onion. Next time I'll try it with red onion. Thanks Lainey. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
