Happy Fourth of July!

This is a quick, simple way to spice up burgers and make something a little different.

1 lb. ground beef
6 slices of bacon ground up (See Meat Grinder post)

Mix together, I use my hands to make sure the ground bacon is thoroughly in the meat without any large clumps. Make patties and then grill! If you do not wish to grill them, then cut them into individual squares and put in ZIploc Bag. You can either refrigerate them if you plan to use them in the next day or so, otherwise store them in the freezer. It’s a quick thaw and when separated with wax paper, the burgers come right off.

You can use different toppings on these burgers to make them extra tasty! Add pineapple – goes great with Hawaiian themed parties, or you can my favorite Western Bacon Burgers – which I’ll post that recipe next week!

This can be cooked in the oven on Broil Hi or on the grill. Grill sides are some of my favorites, the smoke brings out a wonderful flavor in veggies and beans when done that way.

1 lb. salmon
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Salt & Pepper
1 tomato sliced thin
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 c. bread crumbs
1/4 onion sliced thin

In pan (or on tinfoil if doing on grill), place salmon and rub in the garlic. Sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper. Layer with tomato, onion and the parsley. Mix bread crumbs with oil and sprinkle on top.

Baked at 450 for 8-10 minutes or until fish is flaky
On grill, cook for 8-10 minutes or until fish is flaky. Cover up fish with tinfoil.
