National Cheeseburger Day

Today was 

National Cheeseburger Day

and I didn't mention it at all to the kids. 

You see, 

they love cheeseburgers. 

It's their favorite thing to eat. 

They could eat them any time, 

anywhere, it doesn't matter. 

They LOVE them. 

They each have their own way of eating 

cheeseburgers, 

such as, 

my daughter likes pickles and ketchup, 

my son ketchup, 

the Mister ketchup and mayo

and me...

I'm not the biggest cheeseburger fan...

However, I love a cheeseburger for breakfast after

a good "Girl's Night Out" 

if you catch my drift. ;-)

I take mine with the works. 

Everything on it. 

The messier the better, 

which completely grosses 

the rest of my family out, 

but 

I don't care.
They don't know what they're missing! 

Ha! 

Today I decided to be a little rebellious 

and make what I wanted to make to celebrate

such a joyous occasion as 

National Cheeseburger Day. 

So I decided we'd have 

Barbeque Bacon Swiss

 Cheeseburgers

and 

I made a good choice!

BBQ Bacon Swiss Burger on Hawaiian Bread Hamburger Bun! Sweet Baby Rays is a must!

My satisfied customers! :-)

Pairing the burger with those particular buns 

was a momentary stroke of genius!

The sweet and tangy flavors 

worked perfectly together

and still didn't overpower the swiss

that also made a nice addition 

(we usually just use a mild cheddar).

So my friends, 

I must make a confession... 

before tonight, 

I'd never made a burger 

on my own. 

My husband is the burger man.

In fact, he's so much of the burger king in our home, 

that my son didn't believe that I made this meal. 

He thought his dad did, 

and I just heated it up. 

No son, Mama hooked it up! LOL!

Now I share with you

how to make the perfect burger

in honor of Cheeseburger Day!

Perfect Burger 

Ingredients

1lb ground beef 

1 1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 1/2 onion powder

1 tsp worchestshire sauce

salt and pepper

(I add a dash or two of Old Bay as well)

Cooking spray (for the pan)

Directions

Mix all the ingredient up

and shape four even patties, 

you can get 6 or more for sliders. 

On a griddle or cast iron skillet

spray the pan until it's evenly coated, 

if you don't have cooking spray 

canola oil will work as well. 

You'll need 1 1/2 TBSP

Place  the griddle or skillet 

on medium high heat 

until the oil has a shiny look to it 

and then add your burgers. 

Cook the first side of the burger for 3 minutes, 

flip and cook the second side 4-5 minutes, 

this should make a perfectly medium rare burger, 

add 1 minute to each side for medium well, 

and cook 5-6 minutes each side for well done. 

Tomorrow is 

Butterscotch Pudding Day

and 

Talk Like a Pirate Day

I know we're going to have fun with at least one of those 

holiday's. I'll let you guess which one! LOL

Goodnight friends, 

until tomorrow!
