Homemade Beef Burgers


Who doesn’t like a good ol burger? Today for dinner I will be making a good o’l home made burger. When people think of burgers, I’m sure greasy and unhealthy are the frist few words that come to mind. And I’m here to tell you, you’re probably right, but a little of “junk food” once in awhile won’t hurt, promise.

Ingredients


1lb of ground beef

Slice of cheese

1 pinch of salt

2 pinches of ground pepper

½ an onion chopped up

1 egg beaten

1 ½ spoons of paprika

1 tsp of Djon mustard

Steps


Step 1. Pour all your ingredients into a bowl including the ground beef, and mix them up

Step 2. After the ingredients is mixed well ( each side of the beef looks seasoned equally) create the sizes of your beef burger, 1lb of ground beef is able to make for decent size burgers, but if you want to create sliders (smaller burgers) you can create smaller round balls of ground beef

Step 3. Place Beef burgers into your pan or as some may call skillet on high heat and let it cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes on each side; you will know each side is done when the beef changes color from red to dark brown evenly on one side

Step 4. After your burgers are done , feel free to place it on any bun you prefer, white or whole wheat, and all the toppings of your choice .

Hope you try this homemade burger recipe out and enjoy it.

Teriyaki Beef with noodles


This Sunday for dinner we had beef Teriyaki with noodles. This meal may sound complicated but it was really simple and only required approximately half an hour to cook. This meal is great if you want something filling to eat but not to heavy on your stomach. I personally enjoy this meal because you can add all sorts of your favorite vegetables to pan without taking away great flavor from the recipe.

Ingredients
  • 12 ounces of Beef
  • 1 pack of Ramen noodles
  • Carrots sliced thinly
  • Broccoli
  • Green peppers chopped up medium size
  • 1 tablespoon of cilantro
  • 2 cans of beef broth
  • Snow peas (optional)

Instructions

Step 1. Slice ground beef up and add your preferred seasons into pan, also add your chopped onions, cook beef until it turns brown , then drain the fat from the pan.

Step 2. Pour in your teriyaki sauce , beef broth , carrots,broccoli and green peppers into the pan , and let it boil, stir it continuously.

Step 3. Remove your ramen noodle from the package and separate into piece to make it easier to break down and cook. Cook noodles according to package directions.( I boiled mine for 3 to 5 minutes then drained it.)
Step 4. Once noodles are fully cooked and drained from excess water place it into the other pan and mix it with the other ingredients previously added.
