Sometimes… you just need a big, juicy, flavorful burger!!  Especially one like this… that coffee rub is crazy good, and then the Dr Pepper BBQ sauce… o. m. g.  There’s coffee in the rub and a little bit in the sauce… sooooo does that mean that I can technically call this a breakfast food?  I say, sure! Because once you taste this burger, you’re going to want it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and maybe in the middle of the night 😉

Not your average burger! Juicy beef burgers seasoned with a spiced coffee rub, topped with peppered bacon and a lip smacking Dr Pepper BBQ sauce!
