There’s nothing like a bowl of good old-fashioned southern Potato Salad. A go to potato salad recipe is something everyone needs to have on hand.

I start my Southern Potato Salad with regular russet potatoes. I cut any large ones in half so that they cook faster and I don’t bother peeling them until they’re done cooking. Then it’s really easy to scrape the skin off with a knife.

Hamburger Steak with Creamy Onion Gravy

The best part in the ever popular hamburger is the steak itself. Tender, juicy and full of flavour, you wouldn’t deny the offer of just having the hamburger steak with some creamy mashed potatoes, right?

I’m glad to share my super easy recipe of this amazingly yummy hamburger steaks with onion gravy. It’s aromatic and tastes great as well ! You may use this recipe on one of your barbecue parties and I’m sure it would be a hit. Ensure you serve them fresh and do not reheat it and have as the steak would go dry from inside. The key is to ensure it is cooked perfectly for that juicy steak. The skillet or the barbecue should be heated well before placing the steaks, once you place them, cook over medium heat or it would get charred from outside and undercooked inside. Also, ensure the patties are of equal portions to ensure consistent cooking time. You can strain the gravy for a smooth feel if you prefer so. Serve everything hot with a creamy bowl of mashed potatoes and some salad. Enjoy that perfect meal ! You are welcome !

Ingredients :

For the Patties:

  • 3 tablespoons of cooking oil (canola, vegetable)
  • 1-1/2 pounds of 80/20 ground chuck
  • 3/4 cup of onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Tiger Sauce, or hot pepper sauce, or to taste, optional
  • 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
  • About 1/3 cup of all purpose flour, for dipping the patties

For the Gravy:

  • 1 large onion, halved and sliced (about 3 cups sliced)
  • 1 cup of beef broth
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/4 cup of all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon of seasoned salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, optional

How To Make Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger ?

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 for juiciness)

2 large onions, thinly sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

4 hamburger buns, toasted

Optional toppings: cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, ketchup

Instructions:

Onion Preparation: Begin by thinly slicing the onions. The thinner they are, the crispier they’ll become.

Meat Patties: Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into loose, thin patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Onion Embedding: Press a good handful of the sliced onions into one side of each patty, ensuring they adhere well.

Cooking: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties onion-side-down into the skillet. This will help the onions to caramelize and infuse the beef with their flavor. Cook for about 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the beef is cooked to your liking.

Serving: Place each patty on a toasted bun and garnish with your favorite toppings.

How To Make CLASSIC CREAMY PEA SALAD

I offer you an idea for a complete vegetable and grain-free salad based on pasta with peas.
So “for once” the manufacturers find a great idea, you have to talk about it, use it and don’t hesitate … If you don’t know legume pasta, try it … (I already talked about it here).
In fact, it is relatively new in supermarkets but not in organic stores, the market has expanded to the traditional and this is very good … They are present under different brands such as Carrefour, Bonduelle, Barilla and in various forms, chickpeas, peas, coral lentils.
Interest?
Without wheat, and whether you are “gluten-free” or not, it will always be beneficial to have less wheat in your dishes, less starch than traditional pasta, low glycemic index, and plenty of vegetable protein (twice as compared to classic pasta).
So, if you are a fan of pasta of all kinds and if you compare legume pasta to wheat pasta, I can already tell you that you will definitely not like it. Now, if you can manage not to compare, if you’re a bit open minded and worry about eating healthy by consuming more variety, you should be in for a treat. For this you may have to do it several times, look up your recipe and test the different varieties, see the different brands… but it will be worth it and it will help you to diversify the content of your meals.
Healthy eating inevitably includes variety…
