Amazing homemade bacon cheeseburger

Along with making tons of soaps and whatnot, we also try to make a lot of food at home to cut down on costs.

Recently, I was craving a bacon cheeseburger. I drove over to Hardee's and was only moderately pleased with the burger I bought for $5.

So, the craving rolled around again and the hubs suggested I make one instead of buying.

"Fine! Get me the bacon, buns, and beef." I replied.

So, off I set to make my bacon cheeseburger. The results were ahmazing!!!

I took 1 lb of beef and seasoned with season salt, pepper, and worchestershire sauce. To the mixture, I added diced onion and peppers (we always keep a supply of a frozen "seasoning blend") and italian bread crumbs. (I couldn't tell you any measurements because I rarely measure anything. Eyeball it and season to your tastes.)

I shaped the meat mixture into four patties and baked for 16 minutes at 375 degrees.

While the burgers cooked, I fry the bacon in the pan, sliced the tomatoes, and toasted the buns.

Once the burgers were done, I put slices of American deluxe cheese on top, and bacon on top of that. The heat of the burgers and bacon sufficiently melted the cheese.

I dressed the burger with the tomatoes and spinach leaves (instead of lettuce), and VOILA! My awesome homemade bacon burger!

I always feel all the more accomplished when what I try to make turns out as or better than expected!

Go forth and conquer your cravings and homemade foods!

Remember the Past: Les Gens de Couleur Libres

Yes, I'm a day behind, but here's to it... I dedicate this post to my wonderful, brilliant niece who might be taking a new interest in history, and that makes me even prouder on so many levels. Today, I'll introduce you to Les Gens de Couleur Libres (The Free People of Color). Free Women of Color with their Children and Servants in a Landscape Painting by Agostino Brunias Some years back, a cousin asked had I seen the film Feast of All Saints. I had not. She proceeded to tell me of the plot of the movie wherein the Les Gens de Couleur Libres--the Free People of Color-- living in New Orleans were an entire class of people living in the slave state of Louisiana before the Civil War ended. My mind was blown. I'd never heard of these people. I was mad that I had not, but I instantly wanted to know all I could. Growing up, I always knew there were Blacks scattered throughout the country prior to 1863 and 1865 who were free through various means--buying t...

Attempting to Open Eyes...

In my life, I view it as my goal and life's mission to open people's eyes to things around them, information they've been fed or led to believe, and in general, make people think for themselves . I seek not to make people think and feel as I believe, but simply to encourage them to think and know for themselves. I am a lover of knowledge. I don't profess to know everything, but the things I do know, I am sure of and sure that they are right for me and my life. As my son ages and my second child makes his way towards this world, I grapple with wanting to impart my version of wisdom, truth, faith, kindness, and love of knowledge and progressivism compared with simply wanting them to seek their own truths--even if they depart from mine. This is something I'm sure I'll battle for many years to come. Strong willed parents tend to produce strong willed children. Being a strong willed person herself, my mother raised me to be my own woman, to think independen...

Homemade stuff... laundry detergent.

On my quest to cut costs and figure out better alternatives to things we use daily, I did a lot of research on the easiest and best ways to make homemade laundry detergent. I don't approach anything hastily. Before actually making the soap, I searched on countless pages to figure out what would be the easiest method to follow and the most cost efficient. The first websites I found showed how to make 5 gallons of soap. I feared making this much at once because what if it went wrong? Then I'd have 5 gallons of crap to toss out. And I'm not super environmental, but tossing out 5 gallons of any mixed product cannot be good for the environment or waterways although wherever you toss it may smell great for awhile. I finally found an awesome website that offered easy directions and a 2 gallon method. It was WhyNotSew. I loved this page because the directions were really easy to follow, and I wasn't tied to using one specific type of soap. Lots ...
