I took time off blogging, but I am back to it and I starting back with a bang by participating in Burger Month 2016, which is being hosted by the talented Kita Roberts of Pass the Sushi and Girl Carnivore. I love taking part in these theme challenge recipe collaborations. It is fun to have a theme and allow the creativity to flow.

I have done The Red Wine Burger, The Philly Burger, California Burger with Balsamic Wine Sauce, Canadian Poutine Burger, Goat Cheese Stuff Burgers With Roasted Garlic Truffle Oil Mayonnaise, and The Cleveland Hogg Burger. I love coming up with burger ideas can you not tell?

Burger month is huge and it has been going on all May with many talented burgers, which you will be able to see on the Pinterest Board for you to save your favorite recipes:

I have had an idea to make a Pitts Burger for a while. It is no secret that I am a proud Pittsburgher. My idea was to take the famous Pittsburgh sandwich and make it burgerfied.

As a friend said to me, that sandwich has been done to death. He is right, but how can I make it do the signature Pittsburgh sandwich and add more of a Pittsburgh taste to it? The answer, Iron City Beer, the beer of Pittsburgh.

Mixing a little Iron City into the Certified Angus Beef® and cooking the onions it, it is perfect. The idea for the “Pitts” Burger came to me when I saw beer-braised onions on a menu at a restaurant.

The real secret to this great tasting burger is the slaw. Now many think creamy coleslaw when comes to making a Pittsburgh sandwich with fries and slaw. That is the mistake, you see a Pittsburgh sandwich has an oil and vinegar slaw.

It is an Italian style slaw, it makes the biggest difference. The other secret is the fries. Now when I was at the store going to buy the fries, I noticed Ore-Ida has new bold flavors and the black pepper and garlic.

That sounded like a good fry to add to this Pittsburgh-inspired burger. Pittsburgh, after all, is known for putting together flavors in its food. The cheese is good, the Cabot American cheese tastes very good on this, but so does a good provolone. One bite you will be craving this Pitts Burger!

This epic burger creation is my own for #BurgerMonth 2016, I would love to thank American Lamb Board, Char-broil, Cowboy Charcoal, Swissmar, Cabot Cheese, Grill Master Club, Certified Angus Beef, and CuttingBoard.com for the kick-butt grill prize packages!
