It’s time to get cooking so I’m sharing my favorite kid friendly/summer time recipe with you just in time for the Fourth of July. These mini pretzel bun cheeseburgers are perfect as an appetizer or as the main dish for the kids. I’m sharing everything you need to make the holiday a great one.
In my opinion, no Independence Day is complete without hot dogs and cheeseburgers! But my kids can be pretty picky eaters so I have to get creative when cooking. But these mini pretzel cheese burgers are a hit! And the adults love them as an appetizer.
