With Summer right at the corner, the barbecue season is fast approaching and it is time to start planning your recipes! Of course, an all-time classic, the Cheeseburger, is a must and should be on your list. 

1 — The 'Classic' Medium Cheddar Cheeseburger

A hot take on the classic, Bothwell's own Chef John shares how to make the ultimate burger using the Medium Cheddar Cheese from the variety pack.

First, bind up your ingredients using regular ground beef, egg and breadcrumbs. Each beef patty will be about 8oz, cook on your barbecue for no more than 5 minutes per side – until you reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees.

Once your patty is ready, use a slightly toasted brioche bun with sesame seeds, add some grainy mustard, green leaf lettuce, sweet red onion, and tomatoes.

Finish it all up with the Medium Cheddar Cheese on top of the patty for the perfect complement to a juicy burger!

2 — The 'Spicy' Red Hot Chili Pepper Monterey Jack Cheeseburger

For those who like it hot and spicy, here's a different take on the cheeseburger using Red Hot Chili Pepper Monterey Jack Cheese, grilled peppers, onions, and a spicy jalapeño sauce.

While you prepare your ingredients, heat the barbecue to a medium-high and oil the grill. In a bowl, make the sauce by combining lime juice, mayonnaise, chopped-up jalapeños, and coriander.

Cook the beef patties on the barbecue for 4-5 minutes on each side, as well as the onions and peppers for 5 minutes per side.

To create the ultimate cheesiness, place two slices of the Red Hot Chili Pepper Monterey Jack cheese on each patty two minutes before removing from the barbecue.

Finally, place one beef patty on each bun, top with the grilled onions, peppers, and the spicy jalapeño sauce.

3 — The 'Light' Lettuce Wrap Mozzarella Cheeseburger

A good idea for those who want a lighter version of a cheeseburger is to omit the buns and instead make a lettuce wrap paired with some Mozzarella Cheese from Bothwell's Variety Pack.

Gather up your ingredients while your barbecue is heating up to medium-high heat. Once ready, grill each side of the patty for 4-5 minutes until medium-well. One minute before they are done, add the Mozzarella Cheese.

Next, layer the toppings on a big piece of green leaf lettuce, adding onions, the patty, some tomatoes, pickles, and simple ketchup with mustard. Wrap it all up and enjoy a light version of a classic burger!
