3 Meat Burger Slider

December 2, 2012 Posted in Bacon, BBQ & Grilling, Beef, Summer

My husband loves pizza and he loves burgers. When he gets a pizza it’s the Meat Lover’s Pizza from Grazie’s in Upland, CA. This pizza inspired me to create the “3 Meat Burger.” I also read an article in the Los Angeles Times Food section from June 30, 2011 where a woman named Susan Salerno from Henderson, Nevada invented an Italian Caprese Slider...

My husband also likes dipping his french fries in it...
