Cheeseburger and French Fries Again
When I started writing about what I eat for dinner each and every night, I wondered about a few things, including how long it would take before I repeated dinner. I think it has been about three weeks since my last cheeseburger and french fries (which, for me, is an eternity!). I really do make an effort not to alter my eating habits and not to consider what people would think when reading about it the next day. The purpose is of this blog is to realistically portray what I eat and to show how easy it can be to put a homemade, simple and delicious meal on the table everynight without spending a lot of money. However, I must admit, I do feel pressure to make something more original, more creative and much more inspired than I would normally were people not reading this. I am, afterall, here to show people how to cook and if my food doesnt like something people want to eat, Im not going to be very successful. Therefore, while I will strive to create new and delicious meals each and every night, the unavoidable and occassional cheeseburger and french fries will unembarassingly make a proud appearance!
This one was 1/4 pound of 85/15 ground round beef cooked on the indoor grill for about 6 minutes on each side. Thick sliced onion was grilled along side the hamburger and I warmed a fresh sourdough bun in the oven for 5 minutes. The burger was placed on the bun, topped with mild cheddar cheese, the grilled onion and dressed with ketchup, mayonaise and yellow mustard.
The french fries are Ore Ida brand Pixie Crinkles which I baked in the oven for about 15-20 minutes in a 400 degree oven. The pickle is a Clausen dill, which I think is the best grocery store pickle available. It has the perfect amount of garlicky dill flavor and crunch, which is a result of Clausen not cooking the cucumber, is fantastic!
