Stuffed Burgers

I will always love a perfect burger, but when you throw in the surprise of the cheese on the inside they're just that much better!  Stuffing your burger with cheese and various "toppings" is always a great way to vary up your standard burger.  The possibilities are limitless as well, based on what you want to throw in.  To make them husband friendly I like to stuff them with cheese and bacon or ham, but whatever you want would be great!  One day I swear I will stuff mine with spinach artichoke dip... how good does that sound?!



Stuffed Burgers
Ingredients:
1 -  1 1/4 lb. ground chuck or ground lean beef
2 Tbs. finely chopped yellow onion
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
2 or 3 dashes of Worcestershire sauce 

3 slices desired cheese, or 3 tablespoons shredded cheese (if using slices, quarter the slice so it fits in the burger)
3 slices crumbled cooked bacon or other desired toppings
3 Hamburger Buns
Condiments for serving, such as onion, pickles, tomato, etc.


Directions:
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat.

In a large bowl, mix together the beef, yellow onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Form the mixture into 6 thin patties.  Combine cheese and bacon and top 3 of the patties in the center with 1/3 of the mixture.  Top each patty with a plain patty and seal together around the edges with fingers.  Liberally coat the top and bottom of each burger with remaining S&P.

Grill the hamburgers directly over medium-high heat, turning once, 5-7 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Check for doneness by cutting into a hamburger near the center or testing with an instant-read thermometer.



With about 3 minutes left in cooking, split hamburger buns and toast on the grill for a few minutes.


Transfer each burger to a bun bottom and top with desired condiments and bun top.

The Best Vanilla Cupcake Recipe

A fabulous vanilla cupcake recipe is something everyone needs. EVERY.ONE. Not just bakers. Not just parents that host a lot of kid parties. Everyone. I've tried several, and many have been phenomenal. Then I tried Amy Sedaris's after finding the recipe online, and it was above and beyond the best vanilla cupcake I've ever made. It was an easy batter to make, baked up beautifully, and most importantly - tasted amazing. Regardless if you have never made vanilla cupcakes and need a recipe to start with, or even if you think you have the best - give this one a shot. You will not be disappointed! Vanilla Cupcakes Ingredients: 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 1/2 cups flour 1 1/4 cups milk Directions: - Preheat oven to 375 degrees. - Mix butter at medium speed until smooth. Mix in sugar until well blended. - Add eggs, mixing until fully

Slow Cooker or Pressure Cooker Beef Chili

I don't experiment much with chili because it rarely goes well for me and my family. I've slowly adapted my chili recipe over the years, but I've still always used canned chili beans, with a flavored sauce. I've been wanting to try regular beans (whether canned or dried, I wasn't discerning, just didn't want the sauce), so off to the Googles I went rather than trying to recreate the spice blend from my normal canned beans. Because I was originally planning to make chili in the Instant Pot, that's where I focused my search. Thankfully the recipe I decided to try was adapted from a Slow Cooker recipe, because life got in my way and I wasn't able to make the chili the night before as planned, and I wouldn't have had time to use the pressure cooker with my schedule that day. What drew me to this recipe was the simplicity of the ingredients. And lack of jalapeno. Because somehow nearly every time I plan chili I forget to buy a jalapeno, even if it

White Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Filling

OK, so, while this recipe was the result of me literally quick thinking at the grocery store rushing around to pick up a few ingredients over Easter weekend, I came up with a fantastic cake filling, in my humble opinion.  I love the cake fillings at Costco and wanted to make a variation on that.  This is really semi-homemade but oh so good!  It's rich, creamy and decadent.  Even my husband loved it, and he's not really a cake fan.  It was so easy to make too! White Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Filling Ingredients: 1 package Jello Pudding - Cheesecake flavor 1 8-oz. container Whipped Cream Cheese, softened 1 8-oz, container Cool Whip, thawed 3 oz. White Chocolate, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla Directions: Beat softened cream cheese and vanilla with mixer until well blended and light (a few minutes). Beat in pudding mix until fully incorporated. Stir in melted white chocolate. Fold in thawed Cool Whip Allow to set in fridge for a few hours, but don't let it get
