I was recently approached by Healthy Solutions Spice Blends to try one of the company’s 16 spice blends. The spices are recipe-ready and made to cook with fish, beef, pork and poultry. I used the Ultimate Burger spice blend for my cheeseburger sliders–the delicious spice blend gave the juicy burgers a ton of flavor, which paired wonderfully with the homemade thousand island dressing.

Healthy Solutions Spice Blends is giving away 4 spice blend packets (of your choice) to one lucky winner!!

  3. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Place burger patties on the skillet and cook, 2-3 minutes per side. Just before removing burgers from the skillet, place a small piece of cheese on top of each patty and let melt. Remove burgers from skillet, then place on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top burger patties with sliced tomato and lettuce. Spread homemade thousand island dressing on top half of toasted buns, then place on burger. Serve hot.
