Delicious Hamburgers

I got this recipe idea from a Rachael Ray recipe, but I have modified it and made it my own. This makes a really flavorful burger - I love it!!!

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
2 cloves garlic, grated
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
A handful of fresh parsely, finely minced
Salt and pepper to taste.
4 slices muenster cheese
4 hamburger buns, lightly toasted

Directions:

Put ground beef in a bowl. Add the grated garlic, Worcestershire sauce, parsely, and salt and pepper. Use your hand to mix the ingredients together - don't over mix or you make the patties more tough. Form four patties that are thinner in the center and thicker at the edges for even cooking. Cook the patties in a frying pan for 8 minutes, turning once. In the last minute of cooking time, top the burgers with the slice of cheese.
Place the burgers on the buns and enjoy. Another delicious addition is to carmelize some sliced onions to place on top. SO GOOOOOOD!!!

Breakfast Quiche (or dinner!)

Crustless Quiche

1/2-3/4 cup Bisquick
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup melted butter
Pinch of Salt and dash of pepper
1 1/2 cups of grated cheese of your choice
Vegetables of choice-
(diced Zuchinni, mushrooms, chopped spinach, broccoli, green peppers, onions, can of diced chiles, etc)
Meat of choice-
(Bacon, diced ham, etc)

Beat together bisquick, eggs, milk and melted butter. Add salt and pepper. Mix in grated or diced cheese, vegetables, and meat of your choice. It is really versatile- you can add what (and how much) you like.
Bake at 400* for 35-45 minutes.
After 15 minutes I like to place sliced tomatoes on top and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. Continue baking until egg mixture is set and cheese is crispy and brown. Let it stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

This was something simple and really yummy! I'm not even a big fan of eggs, but I liked it.

Polynesian-Style Chicken

1 pkg. chicken (boneless, skinless thighs are the best!)
2 Tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup and 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. minced garlic

Preheat oven to 350*
Whisk all ingredients and pour over chicken
Bake for 1 hour and turn chicken over and bake for another 1/2 hour.

This is probably the yummiest chicken I've ever had!

Barbequed Pulled Pork

I got this recipe from Angie. It is SOOO yummy!

3 to 4 pound pork roast
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. ground red pepper (I didn't add this)
1 med onion, thinly sliced
1 med green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 18-oz. bottle bbq sauce (I used Sweet Baby Rays Honey BBQ)
1/2 c. packed brown sugar

Trim excess fat from pork. Combine salt, cumin, paprika, black pepper and red pepper in small bowl; rub over roast.

Place onion and bell pepper in slow cooker; add pork. Combine bbq sauce and brown sugar; pour over meat. Cover; cook on low 8 to 10 hours.

Transfer roast to cutting board. Trim and discard fat from roast. Using 2 forks, pull pork into coarse shreds. (I did this step in the crockpot).

Can serve on hamburger buns (that's how we ate it and it was yummy) or with rice and tortillas.
