Last "official" burger of the season

Don't get me wrong, I will still be out at the grill. Sub-zero weather and snow doesn't keep me from firing up the bbq and standing with mitts, toque and scarf. But, this....this burger was awesome. Amazing. Fabulous.......the best bloody burger this year. And the picture actually turned out great! That's a first for me. This made the zillions of other burgers this summer worth suffering through. And before you know it I will be back to blogging about regular fall/winter comfort foods. I have quite the list lined up to try (including an amazing looking pumpkin and crab risotto, braised short ribs and lots and lots of baking).

2 key ingredients here people.....my beloved goat cheese being first and foremost. I really should just buy a goat rather than continuously shelling out exorbitant amounts of money for small logs of goat cheese. I eat this stuff with a fork (much to everyone's chagrin).

The other ingredient...perfectly slow caramelized onions with a splash of bourbon thrown in.

Isn't that the most beautiful burger ever?? I mean, it almost was a shame to eat it.....almost. I was hungry dammit.

The burger was nothing more than meat, steak seasoning, green chilis and garlic. And it's sitting on top of homemade ranch dressing. Cheers and here's to fall!
