Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 30 mins
Serves: 4
Think bacon and eggs is just for breakfast? How about on a burger? No, I’m not kidding.
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 t sweet paprika
  • 1 T chili powder
  • Chili & Garlic Smoked Sea Salt (or regular salt, and some red pepper flakes)
  • pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 T red wine vinegar
  • juice from one small orange
  • 1/4 C oats (or breadcrumbs)
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 4 eggs
  • lettuce
  • spinach
  • tomato
  • hamburger buns
Instructions
  1. Cook bacon. Drain all fat. Combine meat with seasonings, 1 egg, oats, vinegar, and olive oil. Mix with hands (don’t overmix). Form 4 patties, pressing down in the middle slightly.
  2. Cook burgers in bacon pan over med heat, for a few minutes (or until bottom is no longer raw, and is browned). Flip, cover, turn down heat (if necessary) and cook until internal temperature reaches 160F. Let rest while eggs fry. Top with bacon, egg, lettuce, spinach, tomato, and any condiments.
Notes

These burgers kinda fell apart and had to be re-shaped when I put them into the pan. BUT, they were juicy and moist after they were cooked, so totally worth it!

Ham, Corn and Potato Chowder
Recipe Type: Soup, Main
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 30 mins
Cook time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 30 mins
Serves: 4-6
Ham, Potatoes, Corn, Bacon… Winter’s last hurrah!
Ingredients
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 onion (or leek), chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1-2 parsnips, chopped
  • 1 C misc veggies (look in your produce drawer and chop up whatever needs to be used – things like: radish, turnip, celery, mushrooms…)
  • 2 C cubed potatoes (1/2″ cubes) (if you’re using leftover mashed/cubed/diced/fried potatoes, you could use these, just add them at the same time as the stock)
  • 1 T paprika
  • 1 T chili powder
  • pinch all spice
  • 1/2 – 1 t salt (opt.)
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 C white wine (or red wine or apple cider vinegar)
  • 2 T flour
  • 2-3 C milk
  • 6 C stock (chicken or vegetable)
  • 2-4 C water
  • 1 1/2 C corn (frozen is fine)
  • 1 C cooked ham, shredded
  • 2 T spicy brown mustard
  • 1 C fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 C cheese (Pepperjack would be yummy!), grated (opt.)
  • drizzle honey
  • 2 T red wine vinegar
Instructions
  1. Cook bacon in soup pot. Drain fat. Heat olive oil in pan over med heat. Add onion – salt, cook 5-10 minutes. Add garlic, cook 3 minutes.
  2. Add wine and scrape off any bits of goodness off the bottom of the pot (deglazing it). Move veggies over to one side, oil to the other* (adding a little more if necessary) and whisk flour into oil. Cook 30 seconds (creating a roux). Slowly whisk in stock, milk, and water.
  3. Add corn, ham, and mustard; cook 2 min. Add milk, water, seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cook 1-2 hours. About 5 minutes before serving, add spinach and cook 2 min. Add cheese, stirring in figure-eight, until cheese is melted. Add vinegar, honey, taste and re-season if necessary. Top with crumbled bacon and serve.
Notes

*The roux step can be done in a separate pan if there are too many veggies in the soup pot to move over. Just whisk in the stock, let it get thick (like gravy, which is what you’ve made) and add it and the rest of the liquids to the soup pot.
