Cheeseburger Deluxe

When I was a kid I lived just a short bike ride from the ocean and as a teenager one of my favorite things to do was to hop on my bike and ride down to the beach for the day with friends.

If the stars aligned and I had a few bucks I'd purchase a Cheeseburger Deluxe
wrapped in foil from the local hamburger shop.
Oh. So. Yummy.


I've recreated my childhood favorite and it is just as good as it was so long ago...

My Ben loved this warm delight.

Good to the last bite!

The best thing about this burger is that can be made ahead of time with leftover cheeseburgers.

Seriously~

No problem!

When you're ready for a Cheeseburger Deluxe:

Reheat your burger in the trusty microwave for one minute

Smear mayo on the bottom of the bun (or toasted bagel pictured here)

Nestle in the hot burger...

Top with your favorite cheese slice.

I'm partial to Provolone but American Swiss or cheddar would be great too...

Squirt a good sized ring of prepared mustard

A tablespoon or so of sweet relish,

A thin slice of red onion....

And top with the bun.

Or bagel.

Get it right into some aluminum foil and pack it up for the beach or whatever great adventure you are headed out on.

They won't stay hot but pretty warm and oh so perfect.

Trust me on this one.
