"The only reason I don’t make burgers more often is because I can’t stop at just one! I figured if I made each burger pattie big and thick then I would be satisfied. So that is exactly what I did. These BBQ Beef and Bacon Mexican Spice Burgers (using @simplyorganicfoods spices) are big, thick, spicy and so delicious."
