Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Long Boy Burgers

As you may or may not know....I'm related to a bunch of carnivores so as always, I'm forever on the hunt for ways to satisfy them. And here's one way I found that makes them pretty happy. Instead of a boring hamburger, switch up the name, add a few fun ingredients and you've got yourself a Long Boy Burger! These are SO easy to make....so tasty and like I said...make meat-eaters happy-happy!

Long Boy Burgers



4 sub sandwich rolls ~ split in half lengthwise
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup barbeque sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 slices bacon ~ cut in half
2 cups shredded cheese

Heat oven to broil.

Arrange split sub rolls on a cookie sheet and place under the broiler for 1 - 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the onion, Panko bread crumbs, milk, egg, 1/2 of the bbq sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add the ground beef and stir until well mixed.

Divide meat mixture into 8 equal portions.
