The Bachelor's Cheeseburger

The summer heat has finally arrived and people are now heading to their cottages, parks and backywards, and what can be more summer then a good old burger with cheese. We can all go to the grocers and pick up packages of burgers but do they really taste better then a homemade burger pattie that you can fill and top with all your favourite spices and condiments. I introduce the Bachelor's Cheeseburger a homemade burger  layered with plain havarti cheese, this is one of my favourite cheeses and it melts perfectly but cheddar or provolone work well or any cheese that you fancy. The toppings are your standard lettuce, tomato and ketchup which is all you really need to make a tasty burger, as for the buns look for something with a little olive oil added into them, this makes the whole experience that much better. A BBQ, grill or even a good old skillet can be used  for cooking but make sure you don't leave out any of the spices added to homemade burger, your tastebuds will thank you after.
