Straight up, this is a great burger recipe. We created this sandwich for country music artist Kelsi Mayne. This burger is sweet, sour, spicy and savory to hit every note Kelsi through at us. By doing so, we named the delicious sandwich “The Kelsi Burger”. We loved using the roasted red bell pepper and sriracha because it reminded us so much of Kelsi Mayne’s hair. What a fun recipe and I know this burger and Kelsi are going to do big things. You should invite them both to your next BBQ. Give this recipe a try! Want to learn more about Kelsi Mayne?
