“Do the Brussel”

The things that I always reach for when I am feeling down is cartoons and food. It’s only fitting that one of my favorite cartoons is Bob’s Burgers. I have the cookbook based off the show and it has some of the best burgers out there! So due to us being stuck inside and down in the dumps I thought I would share one of my new favorites from the cookbook!

Ingredients

1/2 lbs Bacon
1 lbs Ground Beef
1/3 lbs Brussel Sprouts, thinly sliced
1/4 cup Shelled Pistachios, roughly chopped
4 Buns
Green Leaf Lettuce
Sour Cream

Let’s Get Cooking

Cook the bacon on the store in a large frying pan over low heat. Cook bacon until it’s crispy (But not too crispy). I diced up the bacon but you can also keep it in full strips.

While bacon is cooking, thinly slice the brussel sprouts and chop the pistachios.

Remove bacon from the pan and throw the sliced brussel sprouts into the bacon fat. Increase the heat to medium high.

As the sprouts start to brown, add the pistachios and stir. Remove from heat and set aside.

Season beef with salt and pepper. Form patties and cook burgers in the same pan to desire doneness, I prefer medium-rare but you do you.

Let’s plate

To build the burger I recommend following the Bob’s Burgers Cookbook to a T. This is how to build your burgerss:

Bottom bun, Lettuce, Burger, Bacon, Brussel Sprout mixture, sour cream, and top bun.

The whole family loved this burger, personally, the sour cream just tied it all together. You also don’t feel so bad about eating a giant burger when there are some brussel sprouts on it!
