One Great Burger

You are either going to love this idea or hate it, we love it.

A few weeks ago a new pub opened in Asheville, called Pack Tavern, in the old Hayes and Hobson building. If you remember Bill Stanley's BBQ it is the same building, but you would never know it. We had lunch one day just after they opened and it was good, but Lacy and Bashar went later and ordered the house specialty and it was fantastic. The Mt. Mitchell Burger.

The one at Pack Tavern had a 1/4 pound burger, 2 strips bacon, a fried green tomato, lettuce, cheese, the usual condiments and the star of the show a egg. Not just an egg, but a sunny side up egg.

We modified ours just a bit, as you know, I could never eat a tomato, probably not even fried.
It didn't matter, they were so good.
We started with the best burger recipe in the world, Morning Glory Burgers, (posted 2/10/09)and used the toasted onions rolls. Be sure to keep the egg on the very soft side because you want the yolk to meld into the sandwich. WOW.

Give it a try, you won't be sorry!!!!

Oh, and by the way, I am still waiting for your potato salad recipes.

So, until tomorrow....................

Best Laid Plans

Tonight didn't exactly go exactly as planned. I got home around 8:30 p.m. this evening and it was just too late to start cooking. So, supper was one of my favorite "comfort meals", grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Have you ever made grilled cheese with mayonnaise instead of butter? It is really good. Just spread the bread (white, of course) with mayonnaise add American cheese and grill as usual.
Dip your sandwich in your soup and make believe you are ten again!!

So, tonight's menu is pushed to tomorrow night.

I am feeling guilty about not posting recipes lately. I have been slack in the cooking department since last week, so, I decided to post a recipe that my good friend and co-worker, Cyndi shared with me last summer.
It has a very unusual combination of ingredients but is truly the best hamburgers I have ever made. Let's grill out and pretend it is July.

Morning Glory Burgers

1 1/2 lbs. ground chuck
10 crushed Ritz crackers
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup catsup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon worchestershire sauce
1 teaspoon pepper

Combine all ingredients and mix lightly.
Grill, broil or pan fry until cooked through.
Serve on toasted rolls with you choice of toppings.

So, until tomorrow...............
