The Slaw Burger
This is my husband’s favorite way to have a hamburger. It may not be much of a recipe, but I feel the need to share it with you…
First, you must start with a Fire-Grilled Hamburger. The last time we have fried-in-the-skillet burgers it was because I ran out of propane in the middle of the grilling process. We didn’t eat many of the fried hamburgers. When compared to grilled burgers, they suck.
When your Grilled Burgers are done or nearly so, place a slice of cheese on top. For us, this can be one of several kinds of cheese - Colby Jack, Mozzarella, Provolone, Cheddar, even Velveeta. Leave the burgers on the fire until the cheese melts.
The next important part is the bun - my husband believes it must be toasted for maximum pleasure. He simply puts it in the toaster.
Now for the toppings… Bacon, if available, is a must. A slice of sweet onion is also of great value. But his very favorite burger topping is Cole Slaw. I have always considered Cole Slaw to be a very good side dish for Grilled Burgers and other grilled food, but Pat likes to put it directly onto the burger. When this is all assembled, I always question his ability to get it into his mouth, but he manages without fail. 
Never be afraid to create something new in your kitchen or on your plate. And, as always, Enjoy!
