Today is National Cheeseburger Day!
Who doesn’t love a good burger coated with melted cheese running down the side of a meat patty. Instead of your traditional “cheeseburger” I decided to create a twist by making a queso burger. Everyone knows I have an infatuation with Mexican food so why not incorporate it into a burger.
Heaven on a plate….or close enough!
I found out that is was National cheeseburger day on FoodieCrush’s website. She displays a wonderful monthly calendar full of fun stuff throughout the month. Hop on over to her page to check out this downloadable calendar.
Now go out there and eat a cheeseburger!!!!
ENJOY!

Place a piece of meat on top of the bottom bun. Spoon 2-3 helpings of the queso on top of the meat and let it run all over. Get 2-3 spoonfuls of pico and place on top of the queso and then place bun on top.
