Quick & Easy Burgers

My life has been real busy lately.  Good thing I have meals prepared in advance from the Tastefully Simple Summer Sizzle Pack.  This is one of the burger recipes that we enjoyed.

Pictured is the burger, fried potatoes, and green beans.   I used Onion Onion & Green Tea Peppercorn to season the potatoes.  As you can tell, we did not use buns (nor the coleslaw as listed in the recipe).


Ingredients: 

1 1/2 lb ground pork
1 packet Bold Burger Seasoning 
6 pretzel hamburger buns
1 pint prepared coleslaw

Assembly Instructions:  Combine first two ingredients.  Form into 6 patties and place between wax paper and place in gallon resealable freezer bag.  Seal well, label, and freeze.

Cooking Instructions:  Thaw completely.  Grill or fry to desired doneness.  Place burgers on buns and top with coleslaw.  Makes 6 servings.


You can substitute other ground meats for the pork.  I used ground turkey.  We broiled the patties in a toaster oven.

Hearty Fajitas

This is the start of our freezer meals from our Summer Sizzle collection of 10 grilling recipes.

As with all of our recipes, feel free to do substitutions based on your dietary needs and/or likes.  As you can tell from the pictures, I made changes (details later).

Not all of the recipes have to be done on a grill.  I fixed this on the stove top, sauteing the veggies & chicken strips.

Ingredients:

 

1 1/2 lbs flank steak

1 packet Bold Burger Seasoning

1/2 cup beer

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1-2 tsp Ultimate Steak Seasoning

12 8-inch whole wheat tortillas

Assembly Instructions:  Combine first three ingredients in a gallon resealable freezer bag; squish to mix.  In a quart resealable freezer bag, combine next four ingredients.  Place both bags inside another  gallon resealable freezer bag.  Seal well, label and freeze.

Cooking Instructions:  Thaw completely.  Grill or fry steak 4-6 minutes per side to desired doneness.  Wrap peppers and onions in foil and grill to desired doneness.  Slice steak into thin strips against the grain.  Place steak, peppers and onions in tortillas and serve.

Makes 6 servings.

Okay, I mentioned substitutions.  I did several.  First off, chicken instead of beef.  Then I used different vegetables as my husband does not care for peppers.  I used tomatoes & mushrooms.  Oh, and to make it gluten-free, we used corn tortillas.
