.......I'm not a nutrition snop really...REALLY I'm not. I do enjoy a burger or pizza every once in a while. BUT ever since having Cash I do pay attention to food...food groups...ingrediants...origin and such, but I'm not a snob I swear. OK, I do enjoy good food, but I like all kinds of good. I like Indian right now sooo much and I can't get enough of middle eastern! Oh and Italian, geez of course, who doesn't like a good pasta or shank in red sauce for Gods Sake. I like...pizza and Super Mex! BUT my favorite....will always be...REDNECK COUNTRY COOKIN!!! Ok, back to the nutrition, I don't eat white flower of any kind any longer, only whole wheat (or sprouted wheat) pasta and bread for this family. I want to live to see my lil one have kids of his own and since I waited so long and I DON'T know where the fountain of youth is: I work out, eat right ummmm and I guess I still drink some....whatever don't judge...got a have some fun...right!!
All that being said, here is a recipe that I ran into recently and will carry it with me forever. Its for a burger of sorts...Steve said it was the best burger he had EVER had, and believe you me he has had some burgers. Its simple and cheap (my two fave's). Here it is:
...logan county burger
serves 6
- 1lb ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 medium yellow onion, half grated, the other half thinly sliced
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 12 slices white bread
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 12 slices American cheese
- In a bowl, combine beef, egg grated onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Form thin patties. Spread butter on one slice of bread.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers about 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Drain grease from the skillet.
- In the same skillet, place six slices of bread, butter side down. Top each with a slice of cheese, some onions and a burger. Top with remaining slices of cheese and bread, butter side up. Cook each sandwich until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
You guy's know that usually I adjust recipes per my opinion and liking..........NO ADJUSTMENT needed. In fact if you like this but you're like "ooooohhhh maybe I could healthify it" DON'T! Just don't make it period. This recipe is for those that truly want joy from a burger.
Bon Apetit!!!
