“New Bacon-ings” Burger

Categories burgers, Recipes2 Comments on “New Bacon-ings” Burger

The moment I built this burger I was singing the intro to the Krabby Patty in the Krusty Krab training video … DA DADUM DUM DUM DUM DAA. This right here is a classic burger – there’s no way you can fuck this up. I made a few changes when cooking this burger – like swapping cheddar for pepper jack and not making Bob’s fancy bacon fries because I was too tired. This burger is a good reminder that the classics are delicious for a reason.

Ingredients

  • 1 LB Bacon
  • 1 LB Ground Beef
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 4 Buns
  • Green Leaf Lettuce
  • 1 Large Tomato, sliced
  • 1 Red Onion, sliced
  • 4 Slices of Cheddar Cheese [or Pepperjack]
  • Par-baked French Fries

Let’s Get Cooking

Preheat your oven to 400F.

Chop up all but 8 slices of bacon and fry over MED heat until almost crisp. Drain the chopped bacon on paper towels, wipe out the skillet, and fry the remaining slices until crisp.

Par-bake your french fries, or par-fry them and set aside.

Combine milk + egg in a large bowl. Coat the par-baked french fries in the mixture and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toss the coated fries with the chopped bacon and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the fries are extra crispy.

While the fries are cooking, make 4 patties and season both sides with salt and pepper and cook to your doneness. When they’re just about finished cooking, top with your cheese slices.

To build your burger: bottom bun, lettuce, cheeseburger, tomato, bacon slices, onion, top bun.

Serve with your bacony fries & enjoy… you’re going to need to unhinge your jaw for this one.

BLT Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing

Categories RecipesLeave a Comment on BLT Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing

When you have all of the ingredients of a BLT just hanging out in your fridge you are obligated to make one; even more so when we will have delicious fresh tomatoes right off the vine! To tie this all together I thought a homemade blue cheese dressing would work perfectly and add a little funkiness.

Ingredients:

Blue Cheese Dressing:

  • 1 Cup Mayo
  • 1/2 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 TBSP Dried Parsley
  • Juice of 1/2 Lemon
  • 1/2 Cup Blue Cheese Crumbles
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, finely minced
  • 2 TBSP White Onion, finely minced
  • Salt + Pepper, to taste

BLT Salad

  • 2 Heads Romaine, washed & chopped
  • 1 Container of Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 1 Avocado, diced
  • 1 Cucumber, sliced then halved
  • 3-4 Radishes, sliced
  • 3-4 Bacon slices, cooked & chopped

Let’s Get Cooking

In a medium-sized container with a lid, combine all of the blue cheese dressing ingredients. Stir well and taste, add more of whatever you feel it needs! Place it in the fridge and let it all come together for about an hour.

In a large bowl, add in your salad ingredients and mix well! I plated my salad, making sure I had a little bit of everything before topping it with dollops of the blue cheese dressing and extra cracked black pepper.

It’s creamy, it’s crunchy, it’s fresh, & delicious!

Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches

Categories RecipesLeave a Comment on Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches

Breakfast sandwich is a staple, especially when hungover. You can also make it however you want, bacon, sausage, eggs, cheese, hash browns, the options are endless. I use croissants that I made, but you can use store bought too, fresh or frozen, it doesn’t matter! As long as you make it with love, and some good ass bacon, you can never go wrong.

Ingredients

  • Croissants, fresh or frozen
  • 1 egg
  • 2 slices of bacon or 1 sausage patty, I really like Applegate products
  • 1 Slice of Cheddar Cheese, if you like

Let’s Get Cooking

Grab two slices of bacon and cut in half, place in a hot pan and cook to your liking, I like mine a bit chewy but I know that is not for everyone.

If your croissant is frozen, be sure to thaw the night before. Or you can always cut it in half and throw it in the oven at 375F until warm.

Once the bacon is done, remove and place on a paper towel. Keep the heat on high, we are going to cook the egg FAST. Scramble one egg in a bowl and pour into the hot pan. Let the sides get a little cooked and move it around lightly with a wooden spatula until fully cooked. Place the eggs on a plate.

If you haven’t already, cut your croissant in half. Lower the heat and place the croissant cut sides down in the same pan you cooked the bacon and eggs in. This lets the croissant to soak up some of that yummy bacon fat. Keep in the pan until toasted.

To assemble: Place bottom croissant, bacon, egg, cheese, and top croissant.

Make before a trip and wrap in foil to throw in the oven morning of.
