I love summer for a lot of reasons, but one of the big reasons is in our house, summer = burger season! We have burgers many times a week during the summer and honestly, I could eat them many times a week more. They are one of my favorite foods during this time of year. I pretty much stink at grilling, but my husband? He’s an absolute grill master and burgers are his specialty. I need to take lessons from him, but it’s actually kind of nice handing over the dinner reigns every once in awhile.

These Better Cheddar Burgers made with Certified Angus Beef® Brand ground beef and Pepper Jack Cheese are absolute burger perfection. Really, you could use any variety of shredded cheddar cheese, but cheese with a kick really make these Better Cheddar Burgers stand out!…

My husband is sound asleep right now, not aware of the fact that I am about to give away one of his biggest secrets.

He makes the MOST amazing hamburgers. That’s not his secret though. Everyone who has had one of his burgers comments on how good they are and usually sneak more than one off the platter.

The secret is what he puts *in* his burgers to make them so amazing. Are you ready? Pen and paper in hand?

The secret to my husbands most amazing hamburgers is…

—> Rib Rub <—

You wouldn’t think that adding a few tablespoons of rib rub to your hamburger meat before making your patties would make all that much difference, but it does. I can’t tell you how great these burgers are… you’ll have to just try them out for yourself!

Occasionally we add condiments to Nick’s burgers, but rarely. With the rib rub included in the patty, there is no additional dressing up this burger needs.

Since 4th of July is around the corner, and everyone else is telling you what you should make for your gatherings, I have to give my suggestion too. Try these burgers, with his secret ingredient! I’m certain it will make you feel all the more patriotic and all that. Enjoy!
