Jaime Oliver's Crackin Burger

I didn't used to be a burger fan. Then I went to Five Guys, and became burger picky. Ever since then I haven't found a burger to surpass it. That being said, if I can't get myself a Little Cheeseburger at Five Guys, this is the burger I'd turn to next. It was really good and I was surprised..

Crackin Burger

1 lb lean ground beef, preferably organic

12 Cream crackers (I used "Cabaret" crackers)

1 egg

2 T dijon mustard

1/2 C parsley torn to pieces

salt & pepper

Burger Buns

Butterhead lettuce

Good quality cheddar (I prefer the UTAH made "Full Moon Cheddar")

Condiments of your choice (I used mayo and A1)

Mix your ground beef up with the smashed crackers, egg, mustard and parsley. Then add salt and pepper. Form into 6, 1/4" thick patties. Put in refrigerator to firm.

Heat up a grill or frying pan and bring to hot, then turn down to medium. Cook your patties for 3-4 min on each side, depending on preference. Serve with cheese on top and dress your burger nicely. Serve with salt and vinegar chips. Yum.

Classic Spaghetti and Meatballs

Spaghetti and Meatballs

1 pkg spaghetti

1 jar of your favorite sauce

1 pkg ground beef

1/2 cup of seasoned bread crumbs

1 egg

1/4 cup fresh grated parmesean

1/8 c parsley (fresh or dried)

1/2 tsp of garlic salt

1/2 tsp of onion powder

1/2 tsp salt

Start cooking your spaghetti in well salted boiling water.

In the meantime, place the ground beef in a bowl and mix in the egg, then add all the dry ingredients, and the cheese. Form large gum-ball sized balls and place them into a deep frying pan with olive oil, over medium heat. Turn the meatballs that are cooking as you form the others to put in the pan. Once the meatballs are browned on all sides, add the sauce and let them cook a little so they cook through. Spoon over the spaghetti and serve with garlic bread.

Yep. Just incase you didn't know. That's how you make spaghetti and meatballs.
