Grilled Italian Style Burgers

A BETTER BURGERThis Italian Style Burgers recipe is just in time for the grill. This recipe is just one of many Italian recipes that I’ll include throughout the summer for your favorite family barbeques. It’s pretty much that time of year here in Chicago where you get the coals fired up and ready for some great Italian meals made right off your grill. Though weather has never stopped me from barbequing. On occasion we’ve had three inches of snow on the ground and I would still be outside grilling like a fool. Usually it’s a turkey on Thanksgiving or sometimes I’ll throw a beef tenderloin on for Christmas. The neighbors think I’m crazy but there‘s nothing better than barbequing when the wind chill is below zero.
Anyway, since it’s almost summertime here we don’t have to worry about the wind chill and these hamburgers are just the thing to start the season off right.
