Default Bacon Smothered Burger

Not exactly like your Mamma's smothered steak or smothered chicken, but good, nonetheless. This was what I had for breakfast today and it was DELISH, despite its simplicity! I keep bunches of 6 oz. meat patties cooked and frozen at all times for just such quickie meals. So it goes even faster for me. This dish is pictured here: http://buttoni.wordpress.com/2011/0...othered-burger/

This delightfully easy dish makes a great lunch, dinner, or even breakfast. It’s quick to make and very nutritious. Note the nutritional stats below! Of course, it goes without saying this it Induction friendly.

INGREDIENTS:

6 oz. raw ground beef (cooks out to about 4-4¼ oz)
3 slices cooked bacon
1 green onion
¼ c. heavy cream
½ c. water
Pinch salt
Cracked fresh pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS: Form a meat patty with meat and brown it until done in a non-stick skillet. Drain and set on a serving plate. Cook bacon in same skillet, drain and break apart. Chop green onion and add to pan. Lower heat to lowest setting and add water and cream. Stir until onion is soft. Thicken with your favorite thickener if not naturally thick enough for you after it reduces a minute or two. Add bacon, salt, pepper and dip over meat and serve. Goes nice with a green salad at lunch or some scrambled eggs if serving at breakfast.

I want to try this using coconut milk instead of cream. Saved it to my recipe file!

I'll bet it would be good. Almond milk with some smoked almonds crushed up in it would probably be, too, but you'd have to thicken that one.

Sounds great! I am guessing your "sauce" would work with most any other kind of meats. Will certainly give it a try.

Sure, MisterE. Would be great over a pork chop, pork sausage patty, even broiled fish filets, I imagine.
