Afternoons spent outside get me thinking – how can I make my burger experience different?

I mean, you don’t want to just melt a piece of cheese over the top and call it a day every time. A variety of burger toppings keeps it interesting.

Fun thing is, a lot of these toppings work well on steaks, too, so let’s get creative!

Here’s a list of burger toppings I’m going to test out this summer. And not only will the toppings change, but I’ll be using Wagyu beef at times, too. It’ll be flavor combinations galore!

1. This Smoke ‘N Peppa Burger Sauce. It gives a smoky, BBQ taste to the beef that I really dig.

2. Blue Heaven Powder®. Love the kick of blue cheese? You’ll love this on your burger or steak. It’s so easy!

3. Blue Cheese Crumbles. You know, when you just HAVE to have the real thing!

What burger toppings will you be trying this summer???

Perhaps some herb citrus scallops, filet mignon or lobster flatbread are more to your liking?
