Poolside Recipes: Philly Cheese Burgers -

This week we paired two classics together to create the “ultimate poolside burger”. The burger combines the cheese and peppers you’d find on a classic “Philly” with the beefy goodness of a traditional burger. The Philly Cheese Burgers are great by the pool and feed the hungriest of swimmers.

Step 2:

Open and form your hamburger patties with your ground Beef. Do not over work the meat. Press and indention in the middle so patties do not plump in the center, brush with canola oil and season each side with salt and pepper.

Step 3:
