BACON BIT BURGERS WITH SMOKED GOUDA AND STEAK HOUSE SMOTHERED ONIONS AND BABY SPINACH SALAD



Bacon Bit Burgers with Smoked Gouda and Steak House Smothered Onions and Baby Spinach Salad image

Categories     Salad     Sauce     Onion     Side     Gouda     Steak     Bacon     Spinach

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 smoky bacon slices, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
6 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil) plus more for drizzling
2 yellow onions, 1/4 finely chopped, 1 3/4 thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
1 teaspoon hot sauce, eyeball it
1 heaping tablespoon grill seasoning, such as McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning (a rounded palmful)
4 crusty Kaiser rolls, poppy seed or plain, split
4 slices smoked Gouda
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon steak sauce, such as A-1 or Lea and Perrins
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 sack washed baby spinach leaves
Salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler and place a medium nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
  • Add the bacon and a drizzle of EVOO to the hot skillet and cook until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and drain off all but 1 tablespoon or so of the fat from the skillet. Return the pan to medium low heat and add the finely chopped onions to sweat out in the remaining fat, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Preheat a second medium nonstick skillet with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO 2 times around the pan, over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add all the thinly sliced onions and top them with a plate that can fit inside the skillet. Top the plate with a heavy can and smother the onions for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Lift the plate with tongs; it'll be hot!
  • Place the beef in a bowl and top with the Worcestershire, hot sauce, and grill seasoning.
  • Remove the chopped onions to the plate with the bacon to cool. Turn off the heat and reserve the pan. Once the onions are cool, add them and the bacon to the ground sirloin and combine well. Score the meat into 4 even sections and form 4 large patties. Add 1 tablespoon of EVOO to the skillet and reheat it over medium high heat. Add the burgers and cook for 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, minutes on each side for medium well.
  • Toast the split rolls under the hot broiler until golden. Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and top with the smoked Gouda. Remove the bun tops from the broiler pan. Return the burgers to the broiler just to melt the cheese, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir 1/4 cup of the steak sauce into the smothered onions. Top the burgers with the onions and set the bun tops in place.
  • Place the remaining tablespoon of steak sauce in a small salad bowl. Add about 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and whisk in about 3 tablespoons of EVOO. Toss with the spinach, season with salt and pepper, and serve alongside the burgers.

MUSHROOM BURGERS WITH ALMONDS AND SPINACH



Mushroom Burgers With Almonds and Spinach image

These delicious vegetarian patties have a great texture because of the almonds and bulgur. Like other vegetarian patties, they can be a little tricky to turn when you brown them. If they break apart, just patch them together.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, burgers, main course

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 patties, depending on the size

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup fine bulgur
1/2 cup roasted almonds
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound fresh mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
2 large garlic cloves, green shoots removed, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons dry white wine (optional)
1 6-ounce bag baby spinach, rinsed, or a 12-ounce bunch of spinach, stemmed and washed
1 egg, beaten (optional)
Whole grain buns and condiments of your choice

Steps:

  • Place the bulgur in a bowl with a little salt if desired. Cover with ½ cup hot water and leave for 20 to 25 minutes, until most of the water has been absorbed and the bulgur is soft. Drain through a strainer and squeeze out the water.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, grind the almonds coarsely.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the mushrooms. When they begin to soften and sweat, turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, until the mushrooms have softened. Add the garlic, thyme, salt, pepper and white wine, and continue to cook, stirring, until there is no more liquid in the pan, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer to the food processor and process until very finely chopped.
  • Return the pan to the heat and add the spinach, a handful at a time. Cook just until it wilts and remove from the heat. Transfer to a strainer and, with the back of a spoon, press out excess water. Add spinach to the food processor and process with the mushrooms and almonds until the ingredients are well blended. Scrape the mixture into a bowl, stir in the bulgur and egg (if using), and season to taste with salt and pepper. Form into patties. If there is time, cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a large, heavy skillet or on a griddle over medium heat, and brown the patties for 3 minutes on each side, being very careful when you turn them over. Don't worry if they fall apart; just patch them together. An offset spatula works well for turning them, and when you remove the patties from the pan, it helps if you place the bottom bun over the patty, slide the spatula underneath the patty and, with your hand on the bun, flip it over. Serve with the condiments of your choice.

FIESTA SPINACH CHICKEN / TURKEY BURGERS



Fiesta Spinach Chicken / Turkey Burgers image

I created this recipe originally to get the kids to eat spinach and prove they would like it. Since you cant really taste the spinach at all it was a clear winner! The second reason was to create a flavorful new way to make ground chicken burgers. These wont disappoint you. It will be a fiesta in your mouth and your family will...

2 box small boxes of uncooked thawed and well drained spinach
2 eggs
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp garlic salt
5 Tbsp franks hot sauce
1 c parmesan cheese (freeze before using for easier blending)
2 c mexican cheese blend (freeze before using for easier blending)
2 Tbsp fresh finely chopped parsley
pkg kaiser rolls
*SERVE EITHER WITH ROLLS OR ALONE AS A MAIN DISH WITH A POTATO AND FRUIT SALAD.

Steps:

  • 1. Place Ground Chicken or Turkey in Large Bowl. Break Apart with Large Fork or Spoon.
  • 2. Add Ingredients in order of Recipe making sure each item is blended into the ground Chicken or Turkey. This meat mixture easily blends with a large spoon.
  • 3. Form patties using a 1/3 cup measuring cup. Form into the size patties you would like larger and thinner or smaller and thicker.(Mixture will be sticky. You may want to use gloves when using your hands to form patties.)
  • 4. Cook patties in a large non stick skillet with 2 TBSP of vegetable oil on Med High Heat. (This makes 18 patties (1/3 cup each) so you may need to make 3 batches if you are cooking them all at once. My kids love these the next day so we cook all of them for the next day lunches. I am sure you can freeze these ahead of time but they never last that long at our house.
  • 5. Patties are ready to turn over when the pink meat turns white. When there is very little pink left on the top of the patties - flip over to lightly brown the other side. Turn Patties only once. Do not over cook patties.

1 lb ground chicken breast
1 c chopped spinach, fresh
1 c chopped sun-dried tomatoe, not in oil

  • Use a variety of seasonings: Spinach burgers can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, such as garlic, onion, cumin, and chili powder. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor profile.
  • Don't overmix the burger mixture: Overmixing the burger mixture will make the burgers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Conclusion:

Spinach burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with nutrients, such as iron, vitamin K, and fiber. They are also a good source of protein and healthy fats. With their vibrant green color and unique flavor, spinach burgers are sure to be a hit at your next cookout or party.
