There’s nothing like a delicious BBQ’d burger on a summer evening!! Perfect when you make it with tasty jalapeños you grew yourself and topped with fresh lettuce and tomatoes straight from your garden!!
Thanks to Spend with Pennies for the recipe and Trish Guimond for testing and sharing how she uses her Pampered Chef products to make cooking easier!! One of her favourite PC products is the PC Food Chopper #2585 $49. This is used almost everyday in her kitchen, especially used by people who don’t like chopping onions!!
