Cheeseburger Casserole

Sometimes you just can't beat a good cheeseburger. Or a good casserole. Or both together! I made this the other day and when I served it to IT Guy, I didn't tell him what it was. He took a bite and I asked him what it tasted like and he said...without hesitation: A cheeseburger. Right out of the gate! Yay me!! This is a great weeknight meal, easily doubled for a larger family and pretty quick to throw together. Add a salad for a side and you got yourself a par-tay!!

Cheeseburger Casserole



1 can crescent rolls
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped dill pickle slices
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons milk
2 cups cheese ~ divided use


Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Unroll crescent rolls and press into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 8x8 inch pan.

In a skillet, cook onion in a little olive oil for about 5 minutes.

Add ground beef and cook until done.

Stir in chopped pickle, ketchup and mustard.

Sprinkle with flour then add water and milk. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.

Remove from heat and add 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Pour into the prepared crust and bake for 15 minutes, or until edges of crust are golden brown.

Everything Burgers



We went to visit our son and his family not too long ago and we all went out to eat. Our son ordered a hamburger that made me want to steal it right off his plate. I think the thing that pushed me over the edge was the fried egg that came on it. Why have I never thought of that before?? I knew when we got home I was going to make some burgers with fried eggs. And to make it even better...I add whole green chilies to it! Very yum!

Everything Burgers




1 pound ground beef
Salt & pepper
Lawry's Salt
Fried eggs
Whole green chilies
Bacon ~ fried almost crisp
Cheese
Lettuce
Sliced tomato
Sliced onion
Ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.
Hamburger buns ~ I toasted ours in a little butter in a skillet

Prepare your beef into patties. Season with salt, pepper and Lawry's salt. Grill or pan fry.

Assemble your burgers with all the above stuff and eat them. So good!


Here's the line-up.



Make your patties...then cook 'em.


Fry your bacon. I did the weave method. 
This is 6 pieces of bacon, cut in half.


Love it.


Then fry your eggs. I used a round 
cookie cutter that I sprayed with 
cooking spray to cook the egg in 
because I wanted it to be round.


Then I flipped it over to cook the other side.


Grill your buns in a little butter.


Here's all the goodies, ready to 
make the outrageous burgers.


So delicious!!!
