If a mouthwatering burger smothered is sweet strawberry ancho BBQ sauce sounds too good to be true then wait until you pair it with spare ribs! I personally can’t decide which I love more. Burgers or ribs?! 

I built my burger with cheddar cheese, butter leaf lettuce, bacon, avocado, pickles, and tomato on a ciabatta bun. The flavors go so well together, and the strawberry in the sauce adds just the right amount of sweetness to complement the salty bacon and cheese!

Try out our strawberry ancho BBQ sauce this Fourth of July and let us know what you think in the comment section below!
