Last night I brought the fixin’s for the Pioneer Woman’s favorite burger ever over to Karyn and Bryan’s house. It was a little bit of work, but Bryan was a good helper!

My verdict? Delicious, but I might just be craving grilling season in Minnesota. I didn’t follow the Pioneer’s Woman’s measurements exactly, I had never caramelized onions before, and I used Smoked Tabasco instead of regular so I’m not sure the burger had the spicy kick it was supposed to have. Also, we made four ½ pound patties instead of two 1 pound patties—they were still huge!

Next time: more/better onions and more blue cheese! And more spice, too!
