American cheese burgers are an all time favorite amongst burger eaters and today we are going to learn how to make the Classic American Cheeseburger.

How amazing is this weather, by the way? FINALLY! I am so thrilled to finally be able to go outside, fire up the grill, and enjoy a classic barbecue meal in our backyard.

I have to admit one thing, though. THIS is one of the most satisfying foods I’ve made in a loooooong time. Nothing – seriously – NOTHING beats a Classic American Cheeseburger. With Fries. Finger-licking good food!

I think it’s safe to say that we all love burgers, but every region, and most likely, every family has their own recipe for the “best burger, ever!”. This happens to be mine. This is the burger that keeps everyone coming back to my backyard.

WHAT IS A CLASSIC AMERICAN CHEESEBURGER

When I was invited to join Private Selection’s campaign for Burger Nation “Make Your Grill Mark on the Nation”, I knew I was going to pull out my “Best Burger, EVER” recipe and make MY Grill Mark on the Nation.

What makes my burger so special? Is that your question? Makin’ it from scratch and keepin’ it fresh. That’s my secret. Fresh, quality ground beef, fresh tomatoes, garlic, onions, awesome buns, and some good ol’ condiments to pull it all together.

But. Would you look at it. Rich, juicy, colorful, tall… it’s a-mayyyy-zing.

Private Selection and the Kroger Family of stores invites everyone to share the endless possibilities of toppings and tastes that the Private Selection “Burger Nation” has to offer. Private Selection is made for the food enthusiast in us all, with its rich collection of artisan-inspired offerings and gourmet ingredients.
