Why am I doing this?

Several people have been asking me to give them copies of my recipes for certain dishes and asking me to make them other dishes, so I decided to create a blog with my recipes. Feel free to use any of these and edit them to your taste.

Disclaimer

I am now back in TEXAS so some recipes will be updated to show local ingredients. However, the below disclaimer is still true...I have created all these through trial and error.

All of these recipes have been made by me (or my family and revised by me) prior to me moving to Hawaii. However, since I have been in this beautiful state I have been able to buy fresher and more varied ingredients to revise these recipes to allow for a new twist on old favorites. If you do not have fresh ingredients available please use what you do have, or in most cases I have listed options, to create your own special everyday meal.

Smothered Burgers w/cheesy corn

Although I am no longer in Hawaii, I am still experimenting with recipes. Tonight I wanted a burger but as I am reducing my bread (gluten) intake I tried to come up with a twist on the plain burger. This is the result. It is very good with the frozen beef patties but I prefer real beef patties or turkey patties.

Smothered Burger

Make your burger patty as normal or use a frozen one
heat pan to medium heat (do not add cold meet to cold pan and begin (rule 1 of cooking)
once pan is heated add Worcestershire to taste to warm pan then add chopped onion (about 1/4 cup for 2 patties) and chopped mushrooms (canned will work but I prefer fresh) and sauté until lightly brown.
Add burgers and lower heat. Cook until your desired temperature (I prefer medium rare) flipping just once.

When burgers are done remove from heat and top with some of the onion/mushroom mixture and top with a slice of cheese of your choice; cover until cheese melted.

Place smothered burger on plate and top with onion/mushroom mixture and cheesy corn (recipe below)

Cheesy corn

Place corn in dish (canned -drained or frozen) and top with minced onion (dried will work or about 1/8th cup fresh minced) add 1 tbsp butter or butter alternative and microwave until heated through. When completely heated top with cheese of your choice (1 slice should do) and let sit in microwave for 1 minute until melted. Stir and serve with burger.

Enjoy!
