Reviewing:

Shroom 'N' Swiss pork burgers with potato wedges & a Creamy Honey Dijon Dipper.

I modified this recipe using some of the sides are prepared over the weekend.

1 serving prepared

Here's what you get:

Yukon Gold potatoes

Mushroom stock concentrate (not pictured)

Ground pork

Swiss cheese

Sour cream

Honey Dijon dressing

Not used:

Button mushrooms

Potato buns

Substitutes:

Shiitake mushroom

Balsamic red onions

Sweetie pepper

Potato wedge seasoning 1/4 tsp each:

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Pepper

Paprika

Pink sea salt

Dill

Mustard power

The potatoes:

The most amount of prep time spent on these was in making the seasoning for them. Once the potatoes were cut and I had the spices measured I just mix them together drizzle the potatoes and oil and seasoned. They went into the oven first as they took the most time to cook.

The protein:
I had this pre-seasoned with the mushroom stock and formed using a small metal bowl. Cook time on these is up to 14 minutes depending on the thickness of your patty. It was about the same effort as cooking a regular hamburger.

Topping substitutes:

Left over from the other day I had some balsamic red onion and shiitake mushrooms. These were cooked in the cast iron with the pork burger. I put them in during the second half of cook time.

The sauce:
The sauce was an easy mix I just put the Dijon and sour cream together.

Extras:
To add more color to the plate I cut up a few scallions and dropped a few sweetie peppers on top of the burger.

The plate:

Overall I really like the flavor combination on this and I'm glad I used the leftover toppings I had. This meal really motivates me to come up with some fancy "burgers" of my own.

Cooking by the Book 1: Orc Bacon

The Book: Dungeons & Dragons Heroes Feast the official D&D cookbook Making: Orc Bacon (modified) 2 servings prepared Here's what I have: 7 slices of thick-cut bacon 3 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon orange Ginger Spice 1 oz Veggie broth Preparation: The convection oven was preheated to 375 degrees on convection setting. The bacon was placed on a wrap set into a baking tray and placed into the oven for 8 minutes. While the bacon was cooking for the first 8 minutes I added the spices and veggie broth to a small pan and began to eat them up until I got a syrupy liquid. Once the eight minutes were up I brushed one side with the sauce and placed back into the oven for three minutes. This process was repeated by flipping and brushing the other side of the bacon before returning to the oven. Total cook time was 25 minutes The plate! ...

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
