I like quesadillas but never thought to do a post on them. I don’t know why. However, I had some left over 10 inch tortillas and a left over cooked hamburger patty. Lightning struck or one of my few remaining synapses fired, I’m not sure which. Why not use them to make a Hamburger Quesadilla? I couldn’t think of a reason why not so here is how I made it. Continue reading Hamburger Quesadilla
Your in a hurry and you decide to throw burgers on the grill. You form some patties and start cooking. Who has time for anything more? You do. Continue reading Glazed Burgers
Episode 6 of “You Can Make It” on ShawTV East Kootenays features me making Char Siu Pork and Hamburger Soup! Check it out!

We have been harvesting our potatoes over the last couple of weeks. One of the ways we use them is to make Mashed Potato Casseroles and freeze them for use this winter. Continue reading Meatloaf and Gravy
There are two kinds of burger lovers, those who like ground beef formed into a patty with just a little seasoning and those who like it mixed up with eggs, fillers, sauces and a myriad of other ingredients. I am definitely in the beef with a few seasonings camp. Continue reading Mo Burger from Crosby’s Molasses
The problem with most hamburger buns is that they are too large in my opinion. Either you buy the horrible pasty ones in the supermarket or you buy a higher quality bun and it is twice the size. I like a bun that has a nice flavour, a good chew and isn’t so big you don’t notice the burger or other sandwich filling. These Sourdough Onion Buns fit the bill. Continue reading Sourdough Onion Burger Buns
She Who Must Be Obeyed likes those casseroles that our mothers used to make. You know the ones, a can of mushroom soup, noodles, cheese and some kind of protein. Mostly they were pretty bland. Who would want those. Ok, they’re not that bad. Don’t look at me like that. Ok, I like them too. However, they can be adjusted to make them more flavourful and made from less processed food. That is what I have done with Beef Mushroom Casserole. Continue reading Beef Mushroom Casserole
You have to love cooks, chefs and foodies in general. There isn’t any competition between them, just an urge to make something better. A cook sees a new idea or technique and they don’t say “I wish I thought of that.” They get excited and think how they can use it. They put their own twist on it and the world is improved with a new dish. Continue reading Cooks Make Everything Better
She Who Must Be Obeyed loves me. That is a good thing, mostly. The first problem is she wanted grilled burgers. What the heck. It is only minus 10 and she is nice to me. I am willing to don my toque and brave the elements for the woman I love.
Next, in an attempt to keep me healthy, she buys extra lean ground beef. The problem is, burgers need some fat or they are dry and not very appetizing. This is exacerbated by the need to cook burgers thoroughly to prevent Ecoli poisoning. Sigh, what to do? Continue reading Moist Burgers
Pity She Who Must Be Obeyed. One of the side effects of my cooking obsession is the need to try new things. I have a favourite meatloaf recipe that we really like. However, there may just be a better recipe out there and I have to look for it. This time I made Classic Meat Loaf with Pepper Jelly Glaze.
