We are always trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to the burger. This innovative spirit is always welcome in the kitchen. Creations like Macaroni and cheese burgers, burgers with ramen buns, patties made with 50% percent ground beef and 50% percent bacon would have never graced out plates if we didn't push our culinary boundaries.
Grilled biscuit cheeseburgers change the ubiquitous sesame seed bun for a buttery biscuit that will send you straight to burger heaven. This simple swap makes a world of difference in the flavor and texture of this burger. Moreover, the biscuits are grilled along with the patties on the barbecue which give them a smoky flavor. Grilled biscuits have a crisp golden brown crust and a fluffy interior. You can stick with the classic burger toppings and condiments or get a little wild with them too.
