Cuban Burger

by FarmgirlGourmet August 8, 2015

This incredibly easy Cuban Burger will change up the ordinary burger with the addition of Cuban spices, salty ham and a pickle on top.  Of course that’s optional, unless you’re like me and LOVE pickles.

If you’re like me, you eat a LOT of burgers during the summer months.  Why heat up the house by turning on the oven or stovetop when you can fire up the grill.  Yes, I own a spice company and we make tons of rubs for grilling, but sometimes I just want something completely different.  Enter the Cuban Burger.

My business partner and I went to New York City at the beginning of July and while we were out trying to find a place for dinner one night we happened on a Cuban restaurant and WOW it was the best decision ever.  Pete had a Cuban sandwich and it was bomb.  I couldn’t stop thinking about it.  So, I decided I’d take the Cuban to a whole new level and make it burger style.  Oh I know, if you’re a Cuban sandwich purest you’re shaking your head right now…but just stay with me here.  It’s not perfect, but it’s delicious.  And different.  Totally not the usual grilled burger suspect.

I don’t know if you’ve heard but it’s National Burger Month and me and 29 of my favorite food bloggers have gotten together to bring you 30 delicious burgers.  Special thanks to Kita from Girl Carnivore for rallying us all together for this event.  Make sure you read to the bottom…there’s a giveaway you don’t want to miss out on.

Burger Month. Is there really any other month worth celebrating? The only “epic” burger I’ve ever come up with is a Rosemary turkey burger with cheese in the patty. That’s about as fun as I get without help! 🙂

sounds insanely delish to me!! 🙂

True story, my StepMom loves herself a great Cuban – and this burger… Oh my goodness – I know she would LOVE it. Totally digging this wicked creation for #BurgerMonth
