I can’t think of a better way to stat out National Burger Month than with these Grilled California Burgers. This is simple and quick recipe that incorporates pickled jalapenos into the burger. I decided to grill these but they can also be done on the stove top – but the grilled flavor turns into something special. The next time you decide to fire up the grill give these Grilled California Burgers a try; they are really good. Enjoy
