Homemade American Double Burger with Canadian cheese

The reason why the American Double Burger is such a classic? The secret sauce! But not only will you find below an American Burger sauce recipe that just might be even better than the original, but you’ll see what makes this particular homemade burger recipe so good: a slice of Cheddar cheese made from 100% Canadian milk. For an experience that strays from the classic but elevates the taste, we suggest adding a second slice, or even experimenting with other types of Canadian cheese. The sky’s the limit!

If you’re usually short on time in the evening, we recommend cutting up the veggies and making the sauce in advance (you can keep it in the fridge for a couple days), so you have a quick dinner idea ready to be made into an incredibly tasty meal.
