Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I just LOVE Thai food so I wanted to create a burger that had that wonderful Thai flavor. It turned out to be just delish! Don't be scared of the green curry paste it really isn't that spicy. It just adds extra flavor. You have to make the slaw and mayo to really get the full effect of the burger. I hope y'all enjoy it!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Classic burger yumminess with tons of bold, exotic flavor! The broccoli slaw and cilantro-lime mayo are divine.

Cook on each side for about 6 minutes or on your indoor grill for about 10 minutes. While the burgers are cooking toast the buns. Then slather on some cilantro lime mayo on the bun.
