Jenny\'s Giant Stuffed Swiss Burgers

Always wanted to make stuffed burgers. Never had them before and wasn’t sure how it was done, so I did what I thought might work. Here we go…

Ingredients:

  • Ground Beef, Sirloin, whatever you like
  • 1/2 Cup Onions, Chopped
  • 3-8 Garlic Cloves, chopped fine or pressed
  • 2 Tablespoons Italian Parsley
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper

This recipe is for 2 people, 2 burgers. If you are having tater tots or fries, get the oven preheated.

Heat a pan with a little olive oil. Cut up the onions, garlic and parsley.

Add the onions and garlic to the pan, saute until translucent. Before removing from the pan, stir in the parsley then add salt and pepper to your liking. Put in a bowl and let cool.

Ingredients

After saute, let cool

Start your BBQ or grill pan then take your ground beef and make four patties, 2 patties per burger. Don’t make them too thick or you will have too giant of a burger. Mine were thin and they still came out humongous.

Make four burger patties

Lay the four patties out and then take the cooled mixture that we set aside previously and place a tablespoon two patties.

Place a tablespoon of mixture on each patty

The picture shows the mixture close to the edges, try and keep it away from the edges, one of mine fell apart a little while cooking. Now take the other patties and place them on top of the other half and press the edges together nicely where you form one giant patty.

End up with two giant patties

Season the patties as you like, I just used salt and pepper. Fry or grill on each side, I did a good 10 minutes on each and they still came out rare. Get your fries in the oven.

Fry on each side, 10 minutes

After they are done cooking, remove and let sit for 10 minutes. I let the cheese melt as it rests.

Add swiss cheese during the resting period

Because of the stuffing in the middle, I only have lettuce to put on. Not pictured, I also but a little butter on the buns and grilled then til crisp. They came out a little rare, but I like it like that.

Was just fooling around in the kitchen tonight, wanted to make scalloped potatoes, but the potatoes were bad.  So I drummed up this recipe.  Dave and I both agreed it was better than Paula Deen’s Buffet.  hehe

Ingredients for Jenny\'s Mac & Cheese

Ingredients:

  • Water
  • 1/4 Package Macaroni
  • Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • Tablespoon Butter
  • 1/4 Cup Shallots (Onion is pictured, use either)
  • 2-6 Cloves of Garlic, Pressed (I like it strong)
  • 1 Sm. Can of Mushrooms or 1/2 Cup of Fresh
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • 2 Cups Milk
  • 1 Chicken Boulion Cube or Sub 1 cup chicken stock for milk.
  • Dash of hot sauce
  • 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese
  • Salt and Pepper

Sorry there aren’t anymore pictures, they didn’t come out for some reason.  Start boiling your water for the mac.  In another pan, over medium heat, add oil and butter and saute shallots, garlic and if using fresh mushrooms cook until shallots are opaque.  If using canned mushrooms add now with the flour and cook for a couple minutes.  Add your milk and cook until nice and thick.  Put your macaroni in the water while adding the cheese to your mixture, salt, pepper, hot sauce and when the macaroni is done, add it all together and let stand a minute before serving.  Bon Appetit!
