One thing I love about Chicagoans is the way that they spend as much time outside as possible for as long as they can. They might even tailgate when there is snow on the ground. While I wouldn't tailgate in the freezing cold, I do like to take advantage of warm fall days. They are a perfect chance to get a last barbecue in with friends. And these Classic Cheeseburgers are just the thing to serve.

I created this recipe for the back of the packaging for PRE Brands 85% Ground Beef, and I definitely recommend using a fattier beef for burgers since it does give them extra flavor. The beef is seasoned with garlic and pepper, formed into patties, and sprinkled with salt. Then I topped with cooked burgers with sharp cheddar cheese. You can add a little ketchup or mustard on top too.
