Grilled Herb Burgers

-


These flavor filled burgers hit the spot and are not filled with a lot of extras like crackers or oatmeal, etc. They are more solid because these things are missing but they have so much flavor you will be glad to overlook the absence of the added carbs, and they beat the dry, bland, frozen ones from the grocery store by a mile! My husband once again worked his magic with the grill yesterday and we enjoyed these for supper. I was out of lettuce but I had spinach so I added that instead for a yummy treat along with red onions and tomatoes. They were delicious! The recipe makes about 26 - ¼ lb. hamburgers which is kind of a lot but I wanted to have them handy in the freezer for later use so I made the whole batch.

9 lbs. (90% lean) ground beef
3 large eggs
3 Tablespoons dried onion flakes
1½ Tablespoons Roasted Garlic and Herb Seasoning
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried parsley
3 teaspoons dried, minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Mix well. Weigh (¼ lb.) and form into patties and place into refrigerator for several hours to allow flavors to meld. Grill and serve with your favorite fixings. Or freeze in an airtight container. These were grilled with a small amount of Sweet Baby Rays Original BBQ Sauce on each side.

    Although I'll have to re-size the recipe for two, it sounds like it will make wonderful burgers. Come to think of it, I can use the recipe next summer when the gang comes to visit. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary

    Yum! Those sound very flavorful! I usually simply use ground beef (90% lean) and a little salt and pepper. These would be a fun change! Your photo is so beautiful!

    I picked up some ground turkey patties at the grocery from the clearance isle last week. (all meat...no fillers) They are ready to grill but I think they will need a little flavor...might use some of your herbs and spices here to help them along! :)

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
