D&C 's loaded burgers, mozzarella bites, and fudge sundaes!

We had a very big dinner the other night and it was amazing! Nothing beats making your own burger and loading it up with things like egg, mushroom, and bacon. That's exactly what we did. We served mozzarella bites for an appetizer although they didn't turn out too pretty they were still really yummy as well with a side of tomato and basil sauce. For desert we enjoyed some fudge sundaes :) Burgers are really simple to make and you can throw on them whatever you like! Here is our recipe for the perfect burger.

D&C's best burger recipe

Ingredients:
1. Beef mince
2. mushrooms
3. Bacon
4. Eggs
5. Mayo
6.Ranch
7. Breadcrumbs
8. Salt&Pepper for seasoning
9. Mixed lettuce
10. Tomato
11. Onion
12. Hamburger rolls
13. Butter
14. Cheddar cheese


First prepare your beef patties. In a bowl place mince, an egg, and breadcrumbs ( you can add whatever extra seasonings you would like to your patty I just stick with salt and pepper). Mix and create circular patties. Place patties on a plate and sit aside.

Now take out your rolls and cut them in half. Put a light layer of butter on the inside of each half. Heat your frying pan and place the buns insides down on the frying pan. Allow to toast for a few minutes. Take your buns out and sit them aside. Now lightly grease your frying pan.

 Place your patties in the pan and cook (flipping and pressing frequently)  until mince is cooked thoroughly and the sides of the patty are slightly singed. At this point you may season them a bit more.

Take your buns and place slices of cheddar cheese on the bottom halves. Microwave the bottoms halves only for 30 seconds or until the cheese starts to melt. Next load your burger up (egg, mushrooms, onion, tomato, lettuce...) ! I usually put on all other ingredients ( excluding the patty) first. This way the patty itself helps to hold the other ingredients in place. ( lettuce below the patty) I usually place only the bacon on top of the patty. Add whatever sauce you like- I add a bit of mayo and ranch. Then enjoy!

 And for dessert ...... chocolate fudge sundaes I continued to keep it simple for this lol

So the  mozzarella bites kind of fell apart so we just scarfed it down.... lol I would recommend trying it though regardless of how they looked they were yummy. Here is the recipe I followed:
