Sausage Smashed Burgers – Incredibly juicy and super flavorful smashed burgers topped with homemade pickles, jarlsberg cheese, and sprout slaw!

What do you think about this beauty?

THAT my lovelies, is a Sausage Smashed Burger! Ain’t it a beauty?! It’s also pretty darn amazing. Flavorful, of course, but also with a bit of crunch that comes in the form of a brussels sprouts slaw and homemade pickles. Made with Regular Premium Pork Sausage, this burger lives up to its fullest potential. I can’t wait for you to try it!

And these homemade pickles!! The best homemade pickles I have ever made. With Apple Cider Vinegar and sugar + cucumbers, these babes will come together in no time.

In between all of that pickle-ing practice, you’ll have to make the burgers. As these things usually go in my world, I was rushing around like a fool trying to get dinner ready, and even though this came together on a whim, I have to admit that there are only few things that can bring this entire family to the table with a big smile on their face; spaghetti and burgers.

If this wonderful concoction is speaking to you the way it spoke to me, hit print and make these today! NOW! I promise you, they are daaaaay-YUM good!

ENJOY!
