Inside-Out Cheeseburgers

Sunday, April 28, 2013


With this moderately hot climate we are having, I had a craving for burgers, I estimate they make me seem like summer and preparing food on the grill. I wanted to make cheeseburgers (Mr. Pickypants loves cheeseburgers) but I wanted to make exceptional cheeseburgers. I decided on inside-out cheeseburgers.

They are pretty easy to make. attractive much your rudimentary hamburger recipe made in to patties with some cheese cubes stuffed in the middle. I have made these burgers before. My very popular is Swiss dairy cheese between the patties with saut?d onions and mushrooms on top. Today I decided on cheddar dairy dairy cheese (I was out of American dairy dairy cheese)

I stuffed cubes of Cheddar cheese in between two hamburger patties and after preparing food them I topped them with a special shock. recall the homemade BBQ sauce I made last week, well I covered my gorgeous burger with that.  delicious. I think I could drink that dressing right out of the container.

Inside-Out Cheeseburgers


INGREDIENTS
4 slices American cheese
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (15 to 20 per hundred fat)

1 1/4 teaspoons kosher saline
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire dressing
1/2 teaspoon recently ground black pepper
4 (4-inch) hamburger buns, divide and toasted
Your favorite burger fixings (onion, pickles, lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup, mustard)

DIRECTIONS:

Cut each slice of cheese in half, then in half again to pattern 4 squares. Stack the parts on top of each other to pattern 4 stacks; set aside.
location the beef in a large bowl and add the salt, garlic dust, Worcestershire, and pepper. Mix with your hands until just identically combined.
split up the meat into 8 identical portions and location on a work exterior. Using your hands, press 2 portions of the beef into 2 uneven 1/4-inch-thick patties that are each about 1 inch broader in diameter than the hamburger buns.
location 1 stack of dairy cheese in the center of 1 of the patties
peak with the second patty and pinch the borders to pattern a tight close.
Cup each patty with your hands to around out the edges, and press on the peak to make flat somewhat into a single broad patty.
move to a plate. replicate with the residual portions of beef and dairy dairy cheese to pattern 4 patties in total.
Preheat a cast-iron or other heavy bottomed skillet over intermediate heat. prepare food burgers until well browned, about 4 minutes.

Turn burgers and prick the top of each to allow vapour to get away; cook until browned on the out-of-doors and no longer pink on the interior; about 4 minutes. assist on hamburger buns topped with your favorite burger fixings.

BBQ Sauce

Thursday, April 25, 2013

Its our go to dressing when we grill out. .With the weather evolving warmer we grilled out for the first time this year!!!. We grilled pork loin chops. I love pork chops on the grill.. I like to purchase the thicker ones so they don't dry out.. no one likes dehydrated out pork chops.. I made this imitation Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce. It was sugary and not to spicy, just the way we like it. It wasn't precisely Sweet Baby Rays, but it sure was good.......I might even like it better.

Next time I am going to add a little garlic granules and honey to it, just to blend it up a little bit.. I believe the honey dressing would be great over grilled pullet next weekend.

So being the coolest mom around, I have been making my little man smoothies. Strawberry banana smoothies to be exact. I like to make them with milk, but we have also made them with orange juice. Those are my favorite. Strawberry, banana and a hint of orange is so delicious and refreshing, especially in the morning.
You can mix it up and add any kind of fresh or frozen fruit you love or have hanging around the house that needs to used up. Strawberry, blueberry and pineapple is also a favorite around this house. Oh, and don't forget about mangoes, mangoes are awesome paired with pineapple and strawberries. Such a nice refreshing tropical smoothie. Makes me think of summer. So hurry up and make a smoothie so you to can dream about summer coming soon.

Baked Tacos

Saturday, April 6, 2013

This is another quick and easy dinner recipe. Perfect to make on busy weeknight. The tacos are hot, crispy and cheesy after being baked for a few minutes. Pull them out of the oven and load them up with your favorite toppings.
Look at all that cheesy goodness melting over the beef mixture. Pure yumminess.
I topped mine with taco sauce, onions, tomatoes and more cheese. I just couldn't resist the cheese. You could serve this with a side of Spanish rice or guacamole and chips.
When assembling the tacos for the oven, make sure the ground beef mixture is not soupy or greasy. A soupy or greasy mixture will result in the taco shells having a soggy bottom and fall apart when you try to lift them up and devour them. I didn't have this problem, I simmered my ground beef mixture for a few minutes and it turned out perfect.

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 package taco seasoning
1 small can of tomato sauce (you only need about 4 ounces)
2 cups of shredded cheese (I used cheddar)
6 hard taco shells (I like the ones with the flat bottom)
And whatever condiments you love - tomatoes, salsa, lettuce, sour cream, etc.

Directions:
Preheat over to 400 degrees.
In large skillet brown ground beef and onion. Drain off any excess liquid. Return to pan and add tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Mix well. You don't want the mixture to be soupy, keep it simmering. Place tacos in a 9x9 inch backing dish standing up. Spoon the taco meat mixture into the taco shells. Fill them pretty full. the meat  mixture will bake down. Sprinkle cheese over the top of the taco meat. Place in the oven and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Serve!
