While our family favorites include spaghetti with meatballs, lasagna, stuffed shells, and anything other traditional Italian meal you’d make with sauce, we have many other uses for sauce too!  One might think this idea is actually brilliant.  My daughter is super picky with food that she eats so I figured we’d switch up our ordinary grilled cheese sandwich and add some Heinz Classico Family Favorites Traditional Sauce.   The flavor the sauce gives to the grilled cheese is incredible!  It’s like a pizza, with just a few ingredients!

Grilled Chicken BLT Burgers

This burger.. it’s incredible.  Want to know my biggest pet peeve about burgers?  When they taste like meatloaf.  I hate a burger with added things like breadcrumbs, eggs, and milk.. Seriously.. meatloaf is good but if you’re going to call it a burger.. don’t.   Whenever I make a ground beef burger or even a chicken burger I just lightly season them.  For beef I do simple salt and pepper, but I get a little more spicy with the chicken.  The chicken doesn’t have all that fat to flavor so I love to add things like bacon and avocado to really make it a big flavor punch!
