Caramelized Onion, Bacon Burger of Joy



Today I decided that I wanted to make a burger with a little extra kick compared to your average "on the grill" burger. And I came up with this! It was freaking amazing and I will totally be making it again! ☺


First off.. you gotta caramelize some onions! Just throw a little butter in a pan and get them nice and golden and sweet.





Cook up some bacon! I used two slices per burger.. but you can always use more. I also bought the super affordable bacon.. but you are more than welcome (obviously) to use a thicker cut or whatever kind you want.


Steak cut fries make a super awesome yummy side to this. I seasoned mine up with a little seasoning salt. But yet again.. you can season with whatever you like.


These were also really yummy as a side. They were a little spicy and super delicious.


I used some smoked paprika (you MUST use smoked.. it is freaking amazing), and some garlic salt to season the meat.


Mix the seasonings with your ground beef and form some patties! I put a slice of cheddar on top of each of these.. it was super yummy.


Top your burger patty with the bacon and caramelized onions. We also put a little ketchup and mustard on ours. They turned out really really good.

I don't really have any super specific instructions or any measurements for the ingredients.. but I will do the best I can.. its pretty straight forward.

Ingredients:

  • ground beef
  • smoked paprika 
  • seasoned garlic salt
  • onions
  • butter
  • bacon
  • hamburger buns
  • cheese
  • ketchup and mustard if so desired
Instructions:
  1. Caramelize the onions in a little butter until they are golden brown. You will know they are close to being done when your kitchen smells like heaven. I found that cooking them on medium heat to medium-low heat worked best. Once the onions are done, set them in a bowl off to the side. 
  2. Cook bacon and set it off to the side. Also with the bacon I found that cooking it at about medium to medium-low heat worked best for the cut I got.
  3. Mix the seasonings up with your ground beef and form patties. 
  4. Cook the patties and top with whatever cheese you want.
  5. Layer it up and eat it!
Enjoy! Thanks for reading!

Super Delicious Peanut Butter Cookies!

Ok now first off I have to say that this is not MY recipe. It is one I found on pinterest. It is by far my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe I have tried. The cookie dough doesn’t stay firm enough to press in the fork marks.. BUT they spread out and get huge and they are still nice and chewy without being gooey. I found the original recipe here  http://www.momtastic.com/cooking-recipes/dessert/164457-classic-peanut-butter-cookies Now.. on this website it looks like she was able to get the fork marks.. so I am not sure what I am doing that is so different.. maybe it is that I just dump all the ingredients in a bowl at the same time and don’t do dry and wet separate at first.. but oh well… this is how I do it :) Ingredients: 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking soda or maybe a tini bit more… which might be why mine spread out more 1/4 tsp salt 1 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 1/4 cup white sugar 1 cup softened butter (I do the “no no" and slightly soften in t...

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Well, its St. Patricks day... so I decided to try my hand at making corned beef and cabbage. I have never made it before but I was very very pleasently surprised with how it turned out. Corned beef is one of my husbands absolute favorite foods, and he says the way I cooked it was the best he has ever had. I also liked it, especially for my first time ever eating it. Here is how its done! Ingredients: Package of corned beef (you can get it at Walmart, Harmons, Smiths, most grocery stores) Salt Water 1 head of cabbage Instructions: (Now to make your own corned beef from scratch it literally takes 7-10 days to cure.. so that is why I (and most people) buy it packaged.) Take your corned beef and trim off a little bit of the fat on top. Me and my husband both have texture issues.. and it didn't seem to affect how moist the meat was. And honestly you can skip this step if it seems like too much of a pain, all the fat dissolved off anyways. Take a rack (I used a co...

Meaty Deep Dish Pizza

Tonight I was thinking PIZZA! Its the weekend, me and my husband had some episodes of Master Chef to catch up on.. so whats better than pizza?! As you can see in this picture.. there was some dough hanging over the edges.. I cut it off. This is what it looked like cut off so I decided to fold it down so the pie would look prettier. Ready for the oven! All popped out of the pan and ready for devouring.  Sooooooooooo good! I was worried that it was going to be soggy once I cut into it but that liquid was the only bit that was in there.. it was not soggy at all I promise.. it was amazing. I had some spring form pans that I hadn't used yet, and thought it would be a great recipe to test them out with. So... lets get to the good stuff shall we? ☺ Ingredients for Dough: 1 (.25 oz package) of active dry yeast 1 tsp white sugar 1 cup warm water  2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1-2 tsp Ital...
