Sloppy Joan Bake It’s cold and rainy here and Patti wanted comfort food. Ken loves potato nuggets, so instead of making his sloppy Joe’s on hamburger buns Patti made one of her famous casseroles using hot sausage instead of ground beef. This one can be really versatile. To make it extra hot use hot sausage and pepper jack cheese. For milder you can use mild…
Blue Cheeseburger Meatloaf With all this blustery weather we’ve been requested (a lot) to make a big savory meatloaf. Patti loves cooking with blue cheese because of its unique flavor, Ken just wanted hearty and beefy. He loved it and of course can’t wait for his cold meatloaf sandwiches for days to come. Plus, we used Cattleman’s Grill Steakhouse Seasoning because it has all the…
Stuffed Double Cheese Bacon Burgers Ken made his amazing cold smoked cheese again and before Patti ate it all for snacks we decided to use some for recipes. We had been talking about stuffed burgers for awhile and these were so good. Patti stuffed them with our cold smoked mozzarella, then topped the burgers with bacon squares and smoked cheddar. Perfect. There aren’t a lot…
Grandville’s Bacon Cheese Burger This week I wanted to put a different twist on our bacon cheese burger. I like the bacon in the burger. And what can be better than bacon, chipotle and cheese with some of Steve’s Grandville Gourmet BBQ Sauce. (We just used the beef to hold it all together.) The bacon flavor just jumps out at you and the smoky flavor…
https://youtu.be/RjFD4ZqJvII Bacon Squares Perfect Burger Topper We love bacon and have discovered Zaycon Fresh Bacon. Some of the best we have ever had. Thick sliced and flavor packed. I like to pile so much onto burgers and sandwiches and it is always falling out or off. The dogs love that part. We like bacon in every bite of the whole sandwich and this makes that…
Potluck Cheeseburger Mac We were invited to a potluck at our community center and asked what we should bring. The resounding vote was: meat! Spending the afternoon with our friends and neighbors is always fun and we wanted to do something everyone would love. Zaycon Fresh to the rescue. We mixed lots of their super lean, top quality ground beef with sharp cheddar cheese and…
Breakfast Burger Balls Folks love our Scotch eggs with a hard cooked egg wrapped in sausage and bacon. But, we got a request for beef instead of pork and they insisted we use Zaycon Fresh ground beef because they wanted the best. We would never consider anything else! The hard cooked eggs were wrapped in ½ lb. of Zaycon Fresh ground beef mixed with Chef…
Date Night Bacon Cheeseburgers Sometimes when you think of your meal choices only a big, juicy bacon cheeseburger will do. Ken really, really wanted this for our date night. Patti could have not agreed more! This time we used good old American cheese, but we love the options of Swiss, blue, Cheddar, provolone…any flavor you like works. We also like a lot of crispy bacon…
SteakBurger Stuffed Potatoes Our friend and crash test dummy Robin was coming for dinner and it was raining. We wanted to do a “Rainy Day Recipe”, something quick, delicious and kid friendly. So, when our nephews come for dinner, we’ll be ready. You can make everything ahead of time and just pop it in the oven or grill until hot. Huwa Reserve, our friends and…
Onion Bacon Burger Chipotle Cheese Topping How about a great burger packed with bacon and smothered with grilled onions and topped with a zesty Chipotle Cheese Sauce? Patti made up some burgers and mixed chopped bacon into them. Just added tons of that smoky bacon flavor. Tonight, to add a little more “special”, we made a little Chipotle Cheddar Cheese Sauce. Hamburger Heaven! Onion Bacon…
Chili Jalapeno Burger Ken loves a good chili burger. The only thing I don’t like about them is “To eat one, you ware one”. They are all over the place, which is part of their charm. Well, at home I don’t care about that. So we grilled up some nice burgers and loaded them up with lots of cheddar cheese, chili and jalapenos. For…
Pepper Crusted Sirloin Roast Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill, but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a…
