One of my favorite main dishes is bunless burgers. These aren't your regular boring burgers with just some cheese on them. Oh no, I dress these suckers up and take them out on the town. Well, the last part isn't true, but I do dress them up. Tonight, I pulled out my old friend, George... Forman that is. He and I go way back. He isn't as good as a gas grill, but he works in a pinch.
I purchased some part beef, part pork burgers from Walmart. They looked interesting and were the cheapest option, so I took a gamble. I stuck those heavenly patties on George for 10 mins (too long). I should have taken them off at 7, but I have a tendency to overcook meat, because I get scared. I'm working on this.
I sauteed some peppers and ham lunch meat while the burgers were cooking. (I didn't have any mushrooms, or I would have done those too). I fried an egg and got out 3 different kinds of cheeses: blue cheese crumbles, Hoffman's super sharp slices, and pimento cheese spread. I might have a slight obsession with cheese.
Once the burgers were done, I took them off George and threw some blue cheese crumbles on so they would melt. I followed those with a slice of ham. Then I placed a slice of super sharp on top and covered it with the fried egg. Peppers went over the egg, and I topped it all off with a dollop of pimento cheese. Sometimes, I put some mayo and ketchup in the mix but wasn't feeling those today.
All that to say, I had some pretty tasty burgers tonight. They were so good, I didn't even miss the bun. In fact, I think they are better bunless, because all of that would be too messy on a bun. I don't like getting my hands dirty. So next time you are craving a burger, skip the bun, load up with protein, cheese, and veggies and ENJOY!
