Egg in a Burger Basket

October 16, 2019 No Comments

1 pound ground beef, or any ground meat you like

2 eggs

Salt and pepper to taste

Take ½ pound ground meat and shape it into a large thin donut with a hole bigger than you would like. Shape the burger thinner than you would like because the meat will shrink and cook into a thick burger. Repeat with remaining burger meat.

Season your burgers and cook in a cast iron pan.

Once you flip your burger, let it cook one minute and carefully crack your egg in the middle.

Season your egg, if you’d like.

Cover with a lid and cook until desired egg doneness. Or you can cook low and slow if you don’t have a lid.

This goes really well with homemade hollandaise sauce.

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Pizza topping ideas

8 ounces mozzarella

Parmesan

Goat cheese

Pepperoni

Cooked and crumbled sausage

Sliced cured meats

Cooked bacon

Poached eggs (top with poached eggs AFTER the meatza is complete or else you’ll have boiled eggs!)

Turn oven up to 450 degrees.

Top with your favorite cheeses and cured meats.

Bake 8 minutes.

Broil for 1-2 minutes if you want your cheese browned.

If you somehow don’t eat it all in one night, this makes phenomenal breakfast of the classic cold pizza!

Your Favorite Stuffed Burger

October 16, 2019 No Comments

Makes 2 burgers
1 pound of your favorite ground meat (beef, turkey, lamb, bison, elk, etc.)

4 ounces of your favorite cheese (shredded cheese will be hard to work with, slices or soft cheese works better)

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper (optional)

Divide the ground meat into 2.

Shape the ground meat into a larger burger, wider than you would like it.

Place your favorite cheese in the center and wrap your burger meat around the cheese.

If you are using soft cheese, first make sure your cheese is in a patty shape and not crumbles. Then gently wrap your cheese with the burger meat.

If there are any holes, just grab some ground meat from another part of your burger and cover it up!

Re-shape your burger if you need to.

Grill or cook your burger the way you normally do, trying not to press on it too much.

These will take a little longer than normal to cook.

Dairy Free Gravy

October 16, 2019 No Comments

¼ cup drippings from a pan after cooking roast, turkey, chicken, etc

1 cup broth liquid

1 whole egg

1 egg yolk

2 Tbs gelatin

1 Tbs cool water

1/2 tsp garlic

1/2 tsp onion powder

Salt to taste

Let broth and drippings mixture simmer and reduce for about 10 minutes.

Sprinkle the gelatin over the 2 Tbs cool water and let bloom for a few minutes.

Pour the eggs into a blender and begin to blend the eggs.

While the eggs are still blending, pour in about ½ cup of broth as well as the bloomed gelatin.

While continuously whisking the broth on the stove, pour the egg, gelatin and broth mixture back into the pot.

Keep whisking and cook on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes or until it starts to thicken up.

Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes before serving so it can thicken up a little more.

Enjoy with roast beef, roasted turkey or chicken!

This also reheats well, too. Once cooled it will be solid jello. Just scoop into a small pot and reheat on medium-low.

1-2 tsp salt

2 tsp black pepper

1 whole egg

Toss all ingredients, minus the egg, into a slow cooker.

Let cook on low for 3+ hours.

Before serving, spoon about 2 cups of soup into a blender.

Turn the blender on and keep blending on high.

While the blender is running, blend in to egg. Do not stop blending or else the egg will scramble.

Add the blended soup back to the pot and stir.

The soup should be nice, thick and creamy.

Serve as is or with crushed pork rinds on top.

Breakfast Pizza

4 eggs

4 ounces shredded cheddar or your favorite cheese

1 tsp garlic

½ tsp black pepper

Butter for cooking

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Press sausage into a sheet pan and flatten out very thin. Make thinner than you would like because it will get thicker onced cooked.

Bake 12-15 minutes or until meat is cooked through.

While the crust is cooking, heat some butter in a pan and cook scrambled eggs and season with salt to taste.

Remove crust from oven and drain grease.

Turn broiler on.

Spread your soft cheese onto the crust to the edges.

Sprinkle garlic and pepper over soft cheese.

Spread your scrambled eggs over the soft cheese.

Cover pizza with shredded cheese.

Broil pizza 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted/lightly browned.

This is also great cold if there are any leftovers!

You can also prep crusts ahead of time on parchment paper and freeze.
Once frozen, wrap in plastic wrap. That way you always have a meatza crust ready to go!
Frozen crusts take about 18 minutes to cook at the same temperature.
