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!

Daddy's Sunday Pancakes

This is the recipe my dad used to make us all the time when we were younger. EVERY Sunday he would wake us up early and make us pancakes, eggs, and bacon. We get this special syrup from our family back in Maryland. I don't think they sell it anywhere in Utah. It's a shame.. because this is the worlds most amazing syrup.. I love love love it! My grandparents ship it out to us in boxes because we love it so much. It is definitely my favorite thing to top off the amazing pancakes. Anyways... the recipe! ☺ Ingredients: • 4 cups of flour • 6 tsp baking powder • 1 tsp salt • 2 Tbsp sugar • 4 eggs • 2 ½ cups of milk Instructions: 1. Mix everything together 2. Cook on a skillet or frying pan (whatever works) until bubbly. I find that cooking it on medium heat works best. And as soon as it is getting pretty bubbly just flip it! 3. Top it off with whatever pancake stuff you like and then eat! ENJOY! thanks for reading!

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...
