Well hello handsome. Sugar, when did you get so fly? …I ate this Cherry Chipotle Barbecue Cheeseburger front and center, oh yes I did. Sorry to my daughter, who convinced me give up meat – but honey, I couldn’t help myself. Sometimes, you just want a juicy burger. And this burger was the perfect burger to close-out a fabulous summer.

I made up this burger with a couple motivations ….First, I wanted to immediately put my new Cherry Chipotle Barbecue Sauce to good use. Second, I have entered this recipe in 2 contests – one for Cabot cheese (hence, the fact that I used Cabot cheese in the recipe and boy am I glad I did – this white oak cheddar is now my absolute fave …even if I don’t win it’ll probably stay my fave …maybe). And two, I think I can beat Bobby Flay. So I entered this burger in that contest too.

So where to I start about this Cherry Chipotle Barbecue Cheeseburger ! First, the burger. Gotta go with good ol chuck – repeat after me, “we want our burgers juicy!” And well seasoned – ground beef needs that. Then, a little zip of onion, some garlicky greens, creamy melty cheese, and my BBQ awesome-sauce, and is it wrong I felt like I cheated on my husband eating this? I am so in love.
