Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

OK so this weekend I wanted a hamburger. The problem is, the only ground beef we have is from Limousin beef. Now I am not complaining because it is home grown, grass fed no hormone stuff from my FIL's farm.

This is some of the most naturally lean beef you will ever find. and the taste is awesome. However, when you are making hamburgers, this beef, has so little natural fat that it can dry out easily.

So I got a bright idea. I had a pound of bacon that needed to be used... I wanted hamburger so....

I ground the bacon up, mixed it with the ground beef and oh boy! What a burger!

Anyone wanting a burger should try this.... I actually used 1 lbs of each which is pretty heavy bacon but it sure is good!

I am sure Pressing On will not be pleased! hee hee!


but I bet her husband would love to know about this!

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

Next time, deep fry it! :lol

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

That sounds great!!!

Make me two and a side of fries.

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

LOL.....I sure couldn't figure out what this thread was going to be about!

However, the burger sounds awesome! Death on a bun!

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

And wash it all down with a glass of melted butter! :woot

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

While we are on the subject when I grill burgers my wife makes two thin patties, and puts blue cheese crumbles in between them. If you like blue cheese burgers these is pretty good.

No just an ice cold Pepsi.

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

Pepsi's bad for you.

:ursofunny

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

So? :smack

Breathing is bad for you in some parts of the country.

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

NO...you wash it down with a tall glass of KFC gravy! Thats refreshing!

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

Sounds like a happy meal for adults. Tripple by-pass burger.

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

Are you hatin on Kern County again????? :foottap

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

LOL!

You are right - my husband would love that! He hates the dry lean meat.

Anyway, if your bacon was nitrate and hormone free, then you didn't make a mistake! :thumbsup

You should run by Whole Foods and pick up the thick sliced bacon! That is some good bacon!! There is nothing wrong with eating it once a week - no harm in that!

Have you cooked with Buffalo meat? They make the best burgers!! My husband loves them. I usually cut up an onion and a jalapeno in the mix.

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

Mmmmmm. Next time I make burgers (which is about once every 6 months!), I will do this for Walt. He loves bleu cheese. Or maybe I'll make some with feta cheese. I love that stuff. Thanks for the great idea!

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

I am sure it was nitrate saturated.... just a package of bacon from the grocery store! LOL!

but I can assure you that it was outstanding!

even the one I reheated in the microwave today was dripping with goodness....


yummy!

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

I love the cheese on the inside of the patty. very good..


grind some bacon and add to the meat!

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

You spent all that time and energy on a, partially - considering the beef you used, worthless meal? That is sad!!! AND YOU NUKED IT!!!! :sad :toofunny

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

Oh it wasnt waisted time at all! my belly thanked me! LOL!

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

It wouldn't thank you if you ate everything organic. The minute you put something else in there - it does NOT thank you. LOL!

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

Paula Deen is going to be so mad that she didn't think of this first!!:ursofunny

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

NO, the whole San Joaquin Valley.

:ursofunny :ursofunny :ursofunny

I saw a clip of her on The View. They are serving cake, I think. Whoopie asks her, "Why do you cook this way and tell people to feed this to their children when you know it's not healthy?" :thumbsup

:toofunny

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

What did she say? I can't see Paula not having a quick come-back to something like that. :lol

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

Well, Whoppie's been eatin' some buhter herself....she's not some skinny healthy looking thang herself.

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

Note to Pressing-On, agreeing with Whoopie is not exactly proof of correct thought.... In fact it might be an indicator of serious mental instability. :thumbsup

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

:ursofunny - isn't that the truth!

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

At least I heard no mention of ketchup or A1 steak sauce.

Speaking of meat, when we went on our recent Grand Canyon adventure and met the little Indian boy who helped us when we were lost, we both ate well prepared elk. It was delicious with none of the gaminess that I expected from venison.

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

Paula would only think the burger was good if she took BUTTER and filled the cavity between two burgers with it and then fried the whole thing in butter. Meanwhile she would have buttered the inside of both sides of her bun and browned those in a skillet too. :ursofunny

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

You mean buhter......she cracks me up saying it!

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

I don't remember exactly what she said, but I do remember it was some type of airhead, laughing response that she does. LOL! You could probably find the clip on-line.

Ferd, I ran across this recipe and thought of this thread. I KNOW you will like this.

Maple Bourbon Bacon Jam

A sweet, salty, smoky, spicy and down right tasty bacon jam that is the definition of umami! This bacon jam goes well on toast for breakfast and makes for a great condiment in sandwiches and burgers of all sorts!

Servings: makes 1-2 cups

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 50 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours

Ingredients

1 pound thick smoked bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup coffee
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup bourbon
2 chipotle chilis in adobo, chopped
1/2 teaspoon cumin
pepper to taste


Directions

Cook the bacon in a large sauce pan an over medium heat until the fat has rendered and the bacon starts to get crispy and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of the grease in the pan.
Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
Add the vinegar and deglaze the pan.
Add the coffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, bourbon, bacon, chipotle chilies, cumin and pepper, reduce the heat and simmer until reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 1-2 hours.
Process the jam in a food processor to smooth it out a bit but not too much as you want to have the texture of the bacon.
If you do not finish it all in one sitting, store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.

Substitute for Bourbon - Bourbon extract | For 1 tbsp bourbon substitute 1 tbsp vanilla extract plus 2 tbsp water. Non-alcoholic vanilla extract. Sparkling apple cider, sparkling cranberry juice - or sparkling grape juice.

Hmm, i wonder if you can carbonate melted butter, hmm...

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

I'm sure a google would
find it, but the list of ingredients was omitted here, ty.

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
 

Sorry. I guess it would help to know what ingredients you are working with. :heeheehee Edited the post. Oops, it has Bourbon as one ingredient. Think Ferd would use that? :toofunny

(Hmm, wonder if you can carbonate bourbon, hmm)

Re: Eating Pressing On style.... NOT!
