We had to go out with a bang! Our final burger of the month is Midwestern American decadence all in a delicious bun! A buttered bun and two butter pats between the patties give this classic cheeseburger a richer, deeper taste, and the colby jack on the top patty gives extra melt and a distinctive look, while the mild cheddar delivers even more of the pure cheddar flavor. The dill pickles and yellow mustard add a hit of tart vinegar to balance the uber richness of this cheeseburger. Make sure you follow us so you don't miss any of next year's new "of the month" series!
