Bison Burgers

Hello All!
     We have a special treat for you.  A Bison Burger, we wanted to try something new and share a different approach to a regular burger.  Bison is typically grass fed and has a lot fat count.  The meat is very red which is good.  With a smaller fat count however you do need to watch the burger more closely as it can dry out or burn easier.  It is a bit more expensive however depending on where you live but try something new chef says.

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 20 Minutes  *(Burgers can sit up to overnight in the fridge)
Cook Time: 5 Minutes
Total Time: 25 Minutes


Ingredients: 1 Lb Bison Ground Meat. (1/4 Lb per person) 1 Tomato 1 Onion 1 Package of Soft Rolls 1 Egg (to mix with meat before patties are formed) Salt Pepper Any other toppings. Ketchup Mustard Mayo Fires make the best side!

Directions:
Take out the bison meat and place it in a bowl.
Add one egg and mix well.
Form up 4 patties or use a patty maker.
Place back in the fridge for 10 Minutes, up to over night.
Always remove your burgers about 10 minutes before your grill them, let them warm up a bit.
Before you grill, cut up all your toppings and get everything ready, once the burgers are cooked you don't want to waste time.
Lightly Salt, Pepper and olive oil each side of the burgers and edges.
With your grill hot place the burgers on it.
*Note place burgers that are meant to be cooked more on your grill sooner.
Salt, Pepper and lightly oil your onion slices.
Place them on the grill as well.
Lightly oil the bottoms of the buns.
Place them on the grill.  (Sooner you do, more crispy the buns will be)
Flip your burgers after the 2 1/2-3 minute mark.
After about 3 minutes on each side brush some butter on the tops, let cook for 2 more minutes.
Flip, butter again and let cook longer for about 2 minutes.
Take off the buns and onions from the grill.
Place cheese on the burgers. (If you want it)
Place a bit of mayo on the bottom of the buns.
Add Lettuce, Tomato.
Place now the burger on the buns.
Now place the onion on the burger.
Serve up and let your friends and family add whatever else they want.

As you can see, this burger will go fast!

     We think you really will enjoy this meal and if you cook Bison or regular Beef feel free to use this style of how to grill it.  We think we will do a Beef Burger video still.  The burger had a great taste to it and the way Chef cooked and put it all together was amazing.  Pair this with some homemade french fries and you have a dish!  Check out the video below to see how Chef puts this all together!

     Thank you so much for checking our site out and we do hope you watched our video.  There are some great tips in the video as well as you get to see first hand how Chef makes it.  So try something new, try a Bison Burger!

Crispy Pork chop Cutlets

Hey all!
     Looking for a quick and very delicious meal!  Breaded and pan seared pork chops!  These came out so good and placing them over some creamy mashed potatoes with a veggie side!  You will be the absolute HERO at dinner!  This dish can really be done with a lot of things, like chicken, beef, even some vegetables.  One of the key's is to get very fresh and thin Pork Chop Cutlets.  Chef found some at his local grocery store that looked absolutely amazing so he picked them up and said this is our meal!

    One of the best things about this dish is just how easy it is.  Chef said to really look into getting a set of pans like he uses to flour, egg and then finalize them with breadcrumbs.  Three process pans actually sell together for this reason and you can find them all over.  The process is not difficult and the clean up is moderately simple as well.  However if done correctly you will have golden brown and very crispy cooked chops!  Please see below on how we did it!

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients:
1 Package Thin Sliced Pork Chop Cutlets 3-4 Cups Flour 5-6 Eggs
2 Table Spoons Milk
Oil, just enough to coat the pan
Butter
3-4 Cups Italian Bread Crumbs 2 Table Spoons Parmesan Cheese 1 Table Spoon Smoked Paprika
1 Table Spoon Italian Seasonings Garlic Powder Salt and Pepper

Directions:
Take out your pork chops and make sure they are fresh or fully thawed.
Season them with salt, pepper and Garlic powder on both sides lightly and let rest.
Setup you 3 stations.
1 pan with Flour, one with Egg wash Scrambled eggs and milk), last with seasoned breadcrumbs.
Make sure all three pans are seasoned and mixed. (See Video for help)
Dredge the chops through the flour and get a good coat.
Then dip them in the egg mixture, again fully coated.
Then place them in the bread crumbs and fully coat.
If you want after to use a rolling pin lightly to press down on the chops you can but its not required.
Place the fully breaded chop aside and continue till all are done.
In a medium pan heat up some oil. Just enough to coat the bottom. You want to pan sear them not fully submerge the chops.
Once the oil is hot lay the chops on the pan and bring the oil down to medium.
Let them cook on medium for about 2 minutes, depending on thickness.
Once the edges start to show browning, place a small amount of butter in the pan. 3-4 small slices. This will darken the chops and really make them crispy.
Then flip them slowly and let cook again fro about 2 minutes.
Remove the chops and place on a cooking rack to drain and continue.
When cooking the rest remember to remove the oil and add fresh oil!
Adding fresh oil will make each batch golden brown.
Place the chops on some homemade mashed potatoes and have a side ready to go.

Here is our result.

As you can see they are golden brown. We did get to try them and yes the moisture held making them very tender and not try at all. They cut very easily and just had that amazing crunch to them. This was one of our fav's per how simple it is to make but also how delicious they came out. This dish is honestly very simple to make and we hope you do try it!

Please check out our video to see how chef makes it and for any other questions you may have!

     Again, thank you so much for joining us. This meal is simple to make and has such a great taste please do try it!  Cooking is something we all can do chef always says so don't ever be afraid to try!

Honey BBQ Chicken Tenderloins

Hey everyone!

     Grilling season is still underway and we wanted to show you a great healthy chicken dish!  Chicken Tenderloins are very delicious and healthy for you!  High in protein and low in fat these strips make a great meal in a matter of no time!  Most people won't think to grill the Tenderloin but try something new!  These are chicken finger size and shape so they are very easy to eat and will they ever be eaten!  We really think your family will enjoy this and it different from just your average chicken breast on the grill.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Total Time: 30 Minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1 Package of Trimmed Fresh Chicken Tenderloins
Pinch of AP Rub
1/4 Cup Olive Oil mixed with Seasonings (Store usually sells)
1 Cup BBQ Sauce
1/2 Cup Honey

Directions:
Take your chicken tenderloins out of the fridge and place on a plate, make sure they are thawed.
Season both sides with AP rub.  Salt, pepper, garlic powder.
Rub a little seasoned olive oil on both sides then let sit for about 10 Minutes.
Mix your BBQ sauce and honey together and place aside.
Get your gill nice and hot and use grill covers if you have them, they will protect your grill and chicken.
Heat only one side of the burners, leave one side off.
Place the strips down and shut the lid, let cook for about 5 minutes then flip.
After about 10 minutes total move them to the other side of the grill where the burners are off.
Coat each side with the BBQ and Honey mixture then place back down on the side of the burners not on.  Let sit another 5 minutes.
Take off ans serve up with any two sides you enjoy!

Looks great!

  As you can see they look amazing! A nice coat of BBQ and grill marks. The reason we cook our chicken then move them over to glaze in the BBQ Sauce is actually because the sauce will not crisp up like a shell and side off. If you glaze while cooking this will happen. Putting BBQ on cooked chicken will just add that flavor as it rest a bit on the not as hot side of the grill. Check out our video to see!

We do hope everyone enjoyed this post and that you really do try this meal out!  Thanks again for joining us and be sure to check out other meals we do!
