Weeknight Quick Dinner
Last night, we were quite busy at home, and I didn’t really have the energy to start up the grill. However, we needed to eat something. I had biscuits left from Sunday, and I hate throwing stuff like that way, so I figured on using the biscuits as buns.
I made 4 burgers from a pound of ground beef, 2 of which got simple salt and pepper; my wife won’t eat burgers any other way. The other two got some creole seasoning. The burgers were added to a hot griddle pan and left alone to cook for a bit. I made the burgers a bit thick so as to fit on the biscuits when they were done, and they shrank up just about the right amount.
The biscuits are in a post over at Just Baking, and they’re very good. I cut them in half and lightly buttered each half while the burgers cooked. I added some bleu cheese crumbles to the creole seasoned burgers and removed the burgers from the pan to rest. While they were resting, I placed the biscuits butter-side down on the hot griddle pan to grill them just a touch.
The end result was a quick, easy dinner with little fuss but lots of flavor. The biscuits were a tad thick for use as buns, but that didn’t deter either my wife or me from digging in!
Food doesn’t always have to be fancy, pretentious, difficult, time consuming or snobby to be just good.
