Caesar Burgers

Caesar salad is one of my favorites year round, so turning a simple burger into a Caesar burger is a great meal to enjoy for summer grilling or a 4th of July barbecue.

A great way to cut down on the carbs is to take away the bun. Using Romaine lettuce as the wrap still satisfies the crunch without being too messy. This is definitely one of my new favorite ways to eat a cheeseburger.
