Bacon Blue Cheese Burger with Whiskey Onions

August 18, 2022 Litehouse
20 minutes
Serves: 4-6

We’ve been enjoying dinners on our N E W back patio, and I can tell you it’s been so nice and relaxing to take a break from everything and just get outside as a family, even just for a simple dinner. Like last night’s burger bar - a great, easy idea for Father’s Day, too! Set out all sorts of toppings, have someone man the grill and let everyone get down with their own creations. Last night, though, Dad was beat after a long day of prepping the house for sale so I actually made up his burger for him (and even had the boys stand in as waiters to deliver it 😉 – so cute!) His burger, made with Litehouse Simply Artisan Blue Cheese Crumbles, bacon, habanero jelly and whiskey sautéed onions, actually ended up being my favorite creation of the night. Working on the recipe now - stay tuned, it’s a good one!
