Delicious! This would be the perfect article to post in Because of all the Sandwiches There for Hamburger Month. I’d love to feature it. :)

Alright, if you're going to make things like this...I'll have a double order and I won't even use my Heinz.

Wow, we're doing burgers tonight. Topped with chili cheese would be awesome. I just love the velveeta and chili mix for fry dipping too. Great stuff Shannon.

I think I gained weight just looking at the picture. We've been eating out so much with my daughter here, and my parents having been here. They all have their local favorites they want when they are here. I'm feeling a bit "fluffy" and I need to start eating healthy again tomorrow. But, that doesn't mean I can't have a burger tonight!!
