Crock Pot Yankee Pot Roast With Vegetables

There are a lot of pot roast recipes out there but this Crock Pot Yankee Pot Roast With Vegetables is my favorite. I’ve been enjoying it for years and I make it often because it’s the best!

The meat is so tender and the veggies are awesome in the juices.

Thicken the gravy to serve over the beef and vegetables, and add a side of horseradish, if desired.

The Perfect Grilled Burger – Easy & Delicious

If you’ve never made your own burger patties try this Perfect Grilled Burger and you’ll never buy the frozen kind again. Really easy to make and delicious.

 

This recipe adds a whole new definition of burger — it’s the best burger you’ll ever have!

Use a medium type ground beef with about 20% fat for moistness & flavor. The leaner varieties produce burgers that are drier with a denser, tighter texture.

Don’t use previously frozen meat as juices are lost during defrosting.

If making ahead, cover with plastic wrap & refrigerate for no more than a day. Add any of the Flavor Perk Stir-Ins you like.

This is the Perfect Grilled Burger for any outdoor BBQ.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: The Perfect Grilled Burger
Servings: 4
Calories: 365 kcal
Ingredients
For the burger:
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon mustard regular or Dijon
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 small onion finely grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 lb medium ground beef
Flavor Perk Stir-Ins:
  • 1 tablespoon creamy caesar salad dressing or 1 tablespoon Greek salad dressing
  • 1 tablespoon chopped sun-dried tomato
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream or 1 tablespoon yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh lemon rind or 1 tablespoon lime rind
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup or 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herb
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon teriyaki sauce or 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 fresh jalapeno or 1 pickled jalapeno pepper chopped
Instructions
  1. Lightly oil grill and heat to medium.
  2. Whisk the egg in a bowl and add the next 6 ingredients. Add any of the “stir-ins” that appeal to you.
  3. Crumble in the beef and using your hands or a fork, gently mix together. Handle the meat as little as possible – the more you work it, the tougher it gets.
  4. Gently shape (don’t firmly press) the mixture into burgers about ¾ inch thick. Using your thumb, make a shallow depression in the center of each burger to prevent puffing up during cooking.
  5. Place the burgers on the grill, close the lid, and BBQ until NO LONGER PINK INSIDE, turning once, about 6 – 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer should read 160F.
  6. Don't abuse your burgers by pressing with a spatula, pricking with a fork, or turning frequently as precious juices will be lost!
  7. Tuck into a warm crusty bun and add your favorite toppings.

 

Enjoy!

Grilled Crusted Steak With Lemon Butter

You’ve never had a steak that tastes anything like this Grilled Crusted Steak. The flavors are great and so different for a steak. It’s just slightly spicy.

 

Lemon butter adds a refreshing taste.

The sugar in the rub melts as the steaks cook and create a crunchy crust that is spicy-sweet. The butter mellows the peppery taste.

The recipe is very easy to follow and prepare and the texture and flavor of the meat with the butter are outstanding.
