Apple bacon bbq burgers!

Making:

Apple bacon bbq cheeseburger! With potatoes and homemade pickles.

1 Serving prepared

Here's what I have:

The patties:

5 oz Beef
5 oz Pork
1/2 red apple peeled/grated
1 tbsp Onion flakes 
1 tsp Beef stock concentrate 
Pepper
Paprika 

Toppings:

2 strips cooked Bacon sliced
1/8 cup whote onion 
1.5 oz bbq sauce (HF leftover)
1/4 cup Sharp cheddar cheese 

The sides:
Homemade pickles 
Yukon gold potatoes wedged 
Fry seasoning with salt
Olive oil (not pictured)


Preperation:

To start I took the raw meat from making half of my hello fresh meals and combine them until well mixed. Add the rest of the burger ingredients and mix again until well incorporated, set aside.

The oven was preheated to 375° and then I tossed the potatoes in olive oil and coated in the fry seasoning. Once the oven was up to Temp I put the potatoes in for 25 minutes.

In a small saucepan I heated up the onion until clear and added the barbecue sauce cooking until the sauce was slightly reduced.

Once the potatoes have cooked up to the 12-minute mark got the cast iron hot and cooked the patties 4 mins per side and then set aside to rest after topping one patty with cheese. 

After the potatoes were done I stacked the burgers, the patty with melted cheese went on the bottom. The top patty got the rest of the cheese, some bacon, the barbecue sauce and pickles to top it off. The potatoes went on to the plate along with some more pickles. Because pickles.

The plate!


Again!


I decided to take unused bits from my HF box remixing the last recipe I reviewed into burgers and the result was great!

Using the same amount of meat I had today this could be split into a 2 serving meal of single patty burgers. All you'd need to do is add more potatoes, buns if you want, and double up on the toppings. I'll be making this again sometime with a few changes I thought up after cooking this meal.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter.  I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature.  The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot.  The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter.  Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
