The Great Gourmet Hamburger Debacle
The Great Gourmet Hamburger Debacle For some reason.... I've been operating under the misguided belief that fancy new pots and pans could boost my ability to be a gourmet cook. Cooking magazines and recipe websites have become my new passion! The problem? Nothing is ever as easy as it looks on those Youtube tutorials! The Spawn had wanted Mac & Cheese for dinner last night (ack!), so I thought to myself... Self! You HATE Mac & Cheese.... Now is a good time to try out one of those fancy, schmancy stuffed burger recipes you found! So I did! I minced the onion and mixed it with the burger and spices..... I created the patty with the little pocket containing cheese and bacon crumbles.... I put it in the pan and started to cook. Easy peasy, right?!? Wrong!! SO wrong.... There I stood watching my burger fall apart in the pan. It started with the cheese melting out the side of the burger and burning to the bottom of the pan. Still trying to be positive.... I said, self! It'll be ok. You can just put the cheese on top when you're done. I continued to cook the burger. Next came the complete disintegration of the patty. Gingerly flipping the patty, I wanted to make sure the top half stayed connected with the bottom half just in case.... The bacon was still in there and there could possibly still be some cheese. What I didn't count on was.... While the top and bottom did remain connected the right and left side did not. And, there I was. Cheese melting everywhere, bacon crumbles spilling out, burger patty disintigrating before my very eyes as now the top and bottom portions of the patty were coming apart too..... Horror unfolded before my very eyes. Needless to say.... Not exactly the burger I was hoping for. I did manage to salvage enough to make my own version of a deconstructed bacon cheeseburger that, crumbled and all, did taste pretty good. But, we'll call that recipe a bust for me. I can only hope I'll be able to get that burned disaster area cleaned out of the bottom of my new pan. I've boiled it and let it sit with the dish detergent and water, like it said to do in the instruction manual. We'll see what happens! |

There's nothing wrong with the recipe, you just needed to substitute tortillas for the hamburger bun.
