To finish out beef week I decided to make cheeseburgers for dinner. Instead of the usual hamburger roll, I decided to toast whole grain honey wheat bread and make patty melts. Well seasoned, medium well hamburgers cooked on medium high heat, gave the burgers a nice char on the outside while the inside stayed nice and juicy.
Burger Seasoning
Salt
pepper
onion powder
garlic powder
My layering technique from the bottom up
1 slice of honey wheat toast (lightly toasted)
Thin layer of spicy brown mustard on the toast (1/2 tsp)
cooked burger patty
cheddar cheese slice
sautéed onions
ketchup (1 tsp)
bacon
2nd slice of honey wheat toast
To accompany my burgers, I peeled and sliced 6 russet potatoes lengthwise, Put them in a bowl , drizzled them with light olive oil, and seasoned them with garlic power, onion powder, salt , pepper and grated parmesan cheese. I baked the potatoes at 425 degrees for 25 minutes, flipped them and then baked an additional 8 minutes. (ovens and cooking times vary). Dinner was prepared and served in under an hour.
And for dessert.. 2 of these babies right here :)
