Stuffed Burgers...

Since it is Memorial Day and the kick off to summer, It is a must at our house to have a great burger.

So this year I have decided to stuff our burgers. I love the idea of biting into a burger with some yummy cheese and bacon in the middle. 

2 lbs. ground beef

McCormick hamburger seasoning

Muenster cheese shredded  (or your favorite cheese)
bacon sliced chopped

buns

Mix ground beef with mccormick seasoning and pat into patties. Make them thin and place the cheese and chopped bacon on top and place another pattie on top on cheese. Press edges together and grill until desired doneness. Don't forget the corn on cob, potato salad, and watermelon. 

Happy Memorial Day.....

Red, White and Blue cake..

I always try to make dishes that reflect the occasion. Since this is Memorial Day weekend I decided to make this cake like our flag. It was delicious and my kids loved that it was like a flag.


1 box white cake mix
1 box vanilla instant pudding
1 container of vanilla icing
1 container of blueberries
1 container of strawberries sliced in half


Make cake per box instructions. When cake is done take out and poke wholes in cake with wooden spoon. Mix pudding mix per box instructions and just when it starts to thicken pour all over cake. It will thicken in cake. Icing and decorate with blueberries and strawberries.

Coming Sunday...

Memorial Day Frozen Lemonade Pie..

This is a great cold treat for this beginning of summer holiday..  I just added some fruit and it was awesome..

Crust
2 cups crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup sugar
7 tablespoon butter melted


Filling
1 6 oz can frozen lemonade
1 14 oz can eagle bran milk
2 cups heavy cream

Topping
1 cup blackberries or blueberries
1 cup raspberries or strawberries
2 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Mix the graham crackers,sugar and butter together and press in pie pan. Bake 350 for 7 minutes. In a cool bowl whip the cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl stir the lemonade and eagle bran together and fold in to cream mixture. Pour into crust and freeze over night. About a hour before you serve make the fruit topping and add to top of pie and enjoy...

Marinated Pork Chops..

This is another great Memorial Day idea. I like to buy pork tenderlions and slice them myself. You really save money and get the best chops from these. I cook for 6 people daily so I usually cut the tenderloin into three chunks.

6 to 8 pork chops

3 tablespoon creole mustard

3 tablespoon olive oil

3 tablespoon red wine vinegar

2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce

2 teas. minced garlic

1 teas. dried thyme

1/2 teas. salt

1/2 teas. pepper

In a bowl whisk the mustard,olive oil,vinegar,worcestershire, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper together in a bowl. Place the chops in a large plastic bag and pour the mixture over and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Enjoy
