All hail this beautiful weather and the ability to grill again! Wasn’t it a long and painful Winter?
I can’t even count the number of family barbecues we’ve already had since the sun graced us with its presence again. At home or out at our summer creek property {where we’ve spent the last 5 weekends!}, our trusty BBQs sure are getting one huge workout!
When the mood to grill strikes, I love to try new recipes to change up the ordinary. Even when making an all-time favourite meal like burgers, it’s nice to take a popular burger staple like Bick’s pickles and relishes and kick it up a notch.
Which is why I embraced a mission from Bick’s to come up with my own burger recipe. The Albertan Burger is easily coined the ultimate in burgers.
Yum
Using a Burger Kit from Bick’s which included a variety of their products like Garlic Baby Dills and Sandwich Savers Extra Garlic Pickles, Yum Yum Sweet Pickles, Zesty Onion Relish and 50% Less Salt Garlic Baby Dills – I was able to make one mean burger which left my family and friends wanting seconds.
My Albertan Burger {recipe at the link} is a blend of all the burger favourites, because, you shouldn’t have to settle when it comes to a good burger.
Stacked high and proud this burger is made of 2 kinds of cheese {1 IN the ground beef and the other melted to perfection}, a mayo relish sauce, crisp bacon and of course, Bick’s Pickles {in the burger, in the sauce AND as a topping}.
My Albertan Burger proves you can never have enough of a good thing – summer days, warm sun, good friends and good eats!
If you are looking for some mouth-watering and unique burger recipes to try, Bick’s has quite the new collection to get you grilling this summer. They are called Bick’s cottage-burger recipes – and I’m on a mission to try them all!
One that has me holding my plate already is the The Poutine Crunch Burger {inspired by Quebec}. Really, they had me at poutine, fully and completely.
On my must-make list is the Stampede Sliders {again, inspired by Alberta. Yahoo!}. You really must see this incredible creation {recipe at the link}, I think this one will impress the guests next time we host a barbecue which will most likely be this coming weekend.
Yet, that’s only 2 of many. Bick’s has an entire recipe section on their site and it’s stocked full of meal ideas. It’s the season to get grilling, Canada!
