Let’s get the show on the road with a recipe from my very own vault.
If you’re having friends over for a BBQ, these burgers will definitely be a hit.
I believe that grilling is the easiest part of cooking burgers. It’s seasoning the patties that’s a little bit challenging.

You don’t even have to use expensive red wine here. Any kind will do.
As long as you like its taste, it’ll work!
5. French Onion Meatball Sub Sandwiches
Here’s another sandwich that gives you an explosion of flavors.
Marinara-bathed meatballs tucked inside a crusty baguette? You can’t go wrong with that.
