Football snacks at BHG...Yum! Burger-Potato Recipe

Football season is upon us and what's better than a table full of appetizers? Even if you're not a football fan, you will like these!


Burger-Potato Bites

Prep: 15 minutes Bake: 18 minutes Cook: 5 minutes
 

Ingredients

  • 16  large  frozen French-fried waffle-cut potatoes (1/3 of a 22-oz. pkg.)
  • 1  lb.  ground beef or turkey
  • 2  to 3 tsp.  grilling seasoning blend
  • 4  slices  cheddar cheese, cut into quarters (4 oz.)
  • 4    cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • Mustard, ketchup, dairy sour cream, and/or dill pickle slices

 

Directions


1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Evenly space potatoes on baking sheet. Bake potatoes for 18 to 20 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned. Remove from oven. Adjust oven racks and preheat broiler.

2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine meat and seasoning. Form into sixteen 1-ounce mini burgers (about 2 tablespoons). In a 12-inch skillet cook burgers, uncovered, over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until temperature registers 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, turning burgers once halfway through cooking. Drain fat. Top each potato with a burger, cheese quarter, and tomato slice. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and tomato begins to brown. Serve with mustard, ketchup, sour cream, and/or pickles. Makes 16 snacks.

Two Great Taco Recipes



This is a great lunch box taco recipe I found on Kaboose that I wanted to share. I can't wait to amke this one for my daughter:


by Stella Zedman

This totable taco salad makes a sweet treat for school lunches. Some assembly required, but kids love tossing together all the fixings and are sure to enjoy this welcome break from PB&J.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 mL) shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped tomato
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) canned kidney or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) salsa
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) sour cream (regular or low fat)
  • 1 cup (250 mL) tortilla chips (regular or baked)

Cooking Instructions

  1. In a plastic container big enough to use as a bowl for the finished salad, toss together lettuce and tomato. In a small plastic container with a tight-fitting lid, stir together beans and salsa. Pack shredded cheese and sour cream in separate plastic containers. Finally, pack tortilla chips in a zip-top plastic bag.
  2. OK, you've got all the components. Now what? At lunchtime, open the container of lettuce. Dump bean mixture on top, add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Finally, crumble tortilla chips on top and lunch is served!
Servings: 1
