I live in a beach community in Los Angeles and this is both a good and bad thing. Good, because I get to watch the fireworks  from my balcony that are set-off from a barge out in the marina. The bad, is that you cannot leave your house by car because they close a lot of the streets starting early in the afternoon. When I make a burger, I like to mix ingredients in with the meat like in these burgers, Caramelized Red Pepper and Onion and Chipotle Chicken Burger (< click on text for links). This is a new burger recipe where the toppings are the focus and the only thing added to the beef is black pepper. The meat is not salted because there are 2 types of cheese and they will add salt. Cheeses differ on their salt levels, if you use salt, use it sparingly. All burgers need pickles and I have an easy recipe for Homemade Dill Pickle Chips (< click on text for recipe link). Roasted red peppers are one ingredient that I always buy and keep in my pantry. It is much easier than making them yourself and are just as good and add a lovely sweetness to the burger. Meat Options: If you don’t eat beef, you can also use ground turkey, chicken or pork.
