Air Fryer Burger

Image
If you haven't made hamburger patties in the air fryer, they are super easy and super good. Something I learned the hard way though - don't put cheese slices in the air fryer because the cheese will fall off the patty. This four-ingredient hamburger patty recipe comes from All Recipes and can be found HERE . For the beef base, we used beef broth and it worked perfectly.  Ingredients: 1/2 pound ground beef, flatten and form two patties 2 tbsp melted butter (we used unsalted) 1 tbsp unsalted beef broth Pepper to taste Directions: Whisk together melted butter and beef broth in a small bowl. Brush lightly on the flattened patties and season with pepper. Set the patties in the air fryer basket and air fry for 3-4 minutes, flip, and air fry for 3-4 more minutes or until done to your likeness. Add the cheese slice and serve with fries. Enjoy! 

One pot homemade hamburger helper

I try very hard to make healthier dinners for my family - this was not one of them. But I have to say this was a 5-star meal from my family. This Homemade Hamburger Helper recipe is from The Pioneer Woman and can be found HERE . This is such a comfort food and we had leftovers for days. We eliminated bacon, replaced the onion with onion powder and garlic with garlic powder, eliminated the hot sauce, eliminated salt, and eliminated the cheese slices. Super good, 5-Stars and would make again. Ingredients: Ground Beef 1 tbsp onion powder 1 tbsp garlic powder 1.5 cups beef broth 1 15oz can tomato sauce 3/4 cup heavy cream 1 tbsp paprika 1 tsp black pepper 12oz elbow macaroni 6oz shredded cheddar cheese Directions: In a large skillet on the stove, cook the ground beef, onion powder, and garlic powder for 5-7 minutes, until meat is fully cooked. Drain. Add beef broth, tomato sauce, heavy cream, paprika and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium. Add dry pasta and reduce the heat t

Double fried french fries

Have you ever made homemade french fries? What about double fried french fries? If not, you are missing out. I actually purchased a french fry cutter and let me tell you, it's amazing! I never knew that would be my joy as an adult but it makes cutting potatoes so easy.  This recipe was from The Cozy Cook here and it's super easy. You just slice the potatoes, soak them in cold water for a few hours. Rinse them, pat them completely dry, rinse them again, pat them dry again, and then fry them.  On the stove, heat oil on medium-high. Fling water on the oil and once it sizzles, it's ready to go. Place the potatoes in the oil for 5-6 minutes, in batches, don't overcrowd them. Place on a paper towel. Increase the heat to high and fry 5 more minutes. Place them on paper towels and serve with ketchup. I also added seasoned salt on ours in between frying. These were 5-Stars from my family!
