Winter is coming and what's better than a tropical vacation- this recipe uses the flavors of the favorite Caribbean dishes - Jerk Chicken and Meat Pies and makes tasty burgers everyone will like. You can make them as spicy as you like with any hot sauce. I like Caulfield's Smokey Red Pepper and chipotle sauce. Serve with griddled pineapple to complete the meal. This will definately kick up your burger game!
