Have you been Pining Lately?

Well I decided that all those wonderful mouth watering looking dishes that I pin sometimes on a daily basis on pinterest that I was going to actually make some of them! So, here is my week of Pinterest cooking.

So here is how I started my week:

The best burger ever recipe

Thanks to Little Miss Momma whose recipe it originally was and I found via pinterest.

Here is the original recipe, I tweaked it a little bit.

Burger Ingredients:
ground beef 85/15
sesame seed buns
1/2 cup of grated Monterrey jack cheese
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
season salt to taste
cracked black pepper
onion powder

I mixed all ingredients into the bowl and then patted out 4 adult hamburgers and one baby hamburger. Cook low and slow, so the sugar in the bbq sauce doesn’t burn.

I used 90/10, mainly because Monterrey Jack cheese has a lot of fat in it and it would make up for a lower fat ratio. I also used a little bit of Montreal steak seasoning instead of Seasoning salt, just because that is what I had, and finally I substituted onion powder for onion soup mix, about 1/2 a packet.

I would have to rate this burger up there with some of the best at home burgers I have made. I don’t do well making burgers at home for some reason, it is always hit and miss. But this was definitely a hit and I bet they would be fantastic on the grill in the Summer.

Recipe #2

Mexican Casserole

Original Recipe by Plain Chicken, thank you for posting this.

1 pound lean ground beef
1 can Ranch Style beans
1 10-12 ounce bag tortilla chips, crushed (I didn’t use the whole bag)
1 can Ro-tel tomatoes
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 package taco seasoning
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup water
sour cream and salsa for serving

I tweaked this recipe and I will tweak it some more in the future.

I did not like the cream of chicken in it, next time I will use 1 1/2 cups of light sour cream and mix the cream and rotels together and this will make a much better tasting combination for the Mexican palate. I also couldn’t bear all the fat in the ranch style beans so I used one can or red beans instead and that worked great! Overall a good recipe, but with some tweaking it could have been so much better!

Now on to Recipe #3

Beef Stroganoff

Original Recipe by crockstar, much thanks to you for posting such a great recipe!

2 pounds cubed stew meat
2 cans Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup
1 largish onion diced
2-3-4 tabls of Worcestershire (this stuff is so awesome I always add more)
1/2 water
8 oz of cream cheese

Put all ingredients into crock pot, except for cream cheese, on High for 4-6 hrs or on low for 8hrs. When meat is tender and just before serving stir in cream cheese. I served mine over whole wheat egg noodles and with some green beans.

I have to say that for the most part this was some of the best tasting food I have put in my mouth in a while! Here is what I would change. One thing I did change was the cream cheese was 1/3 less fat, and I will put next time just regular cream of mushroom. Here is why I would do that. Golden mushroom has tomato ingredients in it, when you meat cooks for a long time the acid in that tomato begins to break down your meat in a mushy kind of way. Mine cooked in the crockpot for 8 hrs and it was delicious, but the texture of the meat was just a little off. I also added red pepper flakes because it needed a little kick!

If you are tired and in a rut with your cooking get on your boards and make something new!!! Remember to make smart substitutions and you can still keep it health and frugal but most of all delicious! Thank you to all the bloggers who posted these original recipes!
