*I Cook Barefooted!* ~ Cheeseburgers In Paradise

Barefoot Love!


You know the honeymoon is over when
 supper turns into a sporting event...
you’ve stuffed a quarter pound of meat into your gullet,
mouthed your fingers like they were the dessert,
belched loud enough that the neighbors ran for cover,
then turned unwittingly to your partner in life
and had them say,
“For god sakes woman, clean yourself up!”

 ☮
Cheeseburgers In Paradise
1 cup sweet onion
½ cup saltines, crushed
1 egg
1 jalapeno, minced
1 envelope ranch dressing mix
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire
2 Tbsp. garlic, minced
1 tsp. pepper
2 lbs beef
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar
1 small pkg. mushrooms
3 Tbsp. cream cheese
6 Kaiser rolls

Combine first 8 ingredients.
Crumble beef over top and mix well.
Shape into patties (Half for tops ~ Half for bottoms).
Combine cheddar, mushrooms and sour cream. 
Spoon over centers of patties.
Top with remaining patties.
Press edges to seal.
Grill over medium heat 5-7 minutes.
(We seared ours on a griddle till slightly blackened on one side, flipped the burgers and did the same on the other side. Best when cooked med-rare.)

  1. Matthew! They Are Awesome! Really.

    I'm not a huge carnivore, but this is, by far, the best homemade cheeseburger I've ever eaten!

  2. I am the complete opposite of a domestic goddess. I don't cook at all. I'm sure my significant other wishes I did. I'm sure he'd love the cheeseburger in paradise recipe.

  3. I like a good burger now and then. Of course my teen thinks they're the absolute best thing.

    I'll have to try this. :-)

  4. M.J., I laughed out loud! (I) am no domestic goddess. Trust me. As a matter of fact, the jalapenos kind of threw me off when I first found this recipe! I mean, I *think* I know you're not supposed to touch your face when you handle hot peppers, right?

    I just told my husband last night, while watching the movie, "The Trip" on Netflix (Funny, and slightly depressing), "Someday, before I die, I want to travel somewhere exotic (I'm thinking Europe, not the next town over!), eat in a fancy restaurant that actually employs A Chef, and savor all of those fantasmic recipes out there! I would have loved a career as a Foodie!

  6. The only kind of cooking I excel at is the kind where I can stick something in a crock pot and leave it for six hours. But those cheeseburgers sound good.

  7. Heh heh! L.G., I imagine these ingredients might still be pretty tasty thrown into a crock and poured over noodles! I've got some delicious crock pot recipes coming soon on 'I Cook Barefooted!'

  9. Oh, Intricate Knot, the fun is just gettin' started!

    I checked out your website tonight. LOVE IT. Your stories are poetic. And I see now where your pen name comes from.

    I too, prefer Icebergs over thin ice. I too, believe there can be no light without darkness. And, I too believe in Tarryfails!

    Beautiful beginning to your site.
    Unique spin on Greeting Cards!

    PS: You'll need a napkin.

  13. Though I'm not a big fan of hamburgers ( my kids say I'm unamerican) I love your preparation routine! I'll still hold on to the recipe for when my boys are back in town. You make cooking fun! Julie

  14. Thanks, Julie! I do try a wee bit.

    Some think I'm un-American because I don't like ice cream, popcorn... and oooh, chocolate(well, except on the rare occasion that I do)! I think they consider that as just plain crazy! *g*
