ruined the burgers with bleu cheese
ATK,, Hello,CHRISTENE & ASHLEY made stuff ,I’ll try, both are wonderful, thanks so much,,,,,stay well, !;;;;;;;🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Two thumbs up for this episode! I like burgers!😀😁👍👍
Smashed is delicious, thick is like a steak – medium rare and juicy!
Christie Morrison and Ashley Moore, Brian, ….etc……. you are great teachers! love your positive energy
I love bacon burgers but hate having to cook bacon before making a burger. I also can't keep cooked bacon sitting in my fridge more than a day or two.
My recipe app was filled with all kinds of attempts to make a "bacon sauce". None worked as well as I hoped. Now I think I got what I was looking for.
Yum
Excellent information on both recipes!!!! I'm going to need a food processor!!
Burgers look so good! Thanks
Looks delicious!
So the favorite is the one with the highest sugar…
Y'all love that raw bloody meat disgusting
It’s hard to find bacon that actually has a good balance of meat and fat, sometimes to much meat or not enough. I don’t know if it’s just me but products I grew up wit aren’t the same
"Between one and… Oh my goodness!"
Your viewers don't mind- at this point we're just enjoying the visuals 😋😍☺️
I LOVE THESE RECIPES!!!! I had for years been trying to come up with a way to get bacon burgers that are this!!! And C. C. gave me what I was looking for.
We have BarS in our local stores. It tastes decent, but it's usually 1/2 the price of Oscar Mayer and others.
Why don't you just eat them without cooking them? I eat my meat just a little less than med well. 🙃
Truly, a wonderfully delicious episode, guys. After watching the Fish 'n' Chips/Shrimp Burger episode & this one, with Spice Crusted Steaks (yay, ribeye!) & Bacon Burgers, I'm now in the mood for some serious protein!
Oh, and for sure, in a Lyonette cut, caramelized onions should be taking a healthy 20 minutes.
Unfortunately, I know way too many people who (like my Ex & my kiddo) think turning up the heat & hurrying the cooking process actually works.
Remember, just like making thee tenderest smoked/BBQ'd meats, "Low & Slow" goes a long way (see what I did there?) towards a perfect finished product.
Cheers.
I love this, but get rid of the audience reactions. It's cringey and unnecessary.
If you would prefer something beyond medium rare I would suggest putting them in a 200 degree oven for 20 minutes either before or after you sear them in a pan.
My all time favorite Bacon is Farmer John out of California, They also make awesome sausage and hot dogs. Unfortunately, it's kind of hard to get out of California and I currently live in Utah. I do find Farmer John products in the military commissary and Target will sometimes carry the brand.
I'll definitely be making that hamburger 🍔
I guess I need a tape measure in my kitchen 😂
That steak is medium, not medium rare, and what is the point of using the wire rack if you are just going to tent and thus steam the meat?
I tried the bacon blue cheese burger. Didn't care for the cheese. Too strong flavor. Over powered the bacon taste. Carmelized onions was great though.
I love the bacon burger with blue cheese and caramelized onions. I'm going to do that 😋
At 21:06 she said 4 ounces of cheese is equal to one cup? Is that right? Or is it 1/2 cup.
Very nice!!
Very nice Burger with almond ice milk shake… 😋
Every steak they make is always the “best steak.” lol
Hi nice vid 🙂 I wonder what do you think about my new song called together? 😊
My favorite is Wright bacon
