Burger Parmesan

Long day out in the heat and time for supper considerations.   What's available....6 ounce hamburger patties in the freezer.   Frankly, I am getting tired of "grilled" burgers.  Time to invent!

Polled the house...and everyone wanted spaghetti.  I have patties...what can I do?   If I had chicken or veal, the natural thing...chicken Parmesan or veal Parmesan.    Let's see what happens.  

I found the Panko and Fines herbes seasonings.    Mixed one egg with a BIG splash of Tabasco.  Gently dipped the patty into the egg wash to coat.  Then into the Panko crumbs.   Press patty into the crumbs coating both sides.  Salt and pepper to taste and cover top of patty with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.   

Into the convection oven on my ScanPan 12" skillet for 35 minutes at 350F.   I just love the way convection cooks and bakes.  The patties were perfectly cooked....crispy and so flavorful.  

Time to add to my bow tie pasta and of course, I used a "doctored" jar of store bought spaghetti sauce.    Quick and easy....

Crisp Greens, a fresh Roma on a frosted salad plate!  

Bon Appétit

Carla’s Macaroni Salad

My dear sister, Carla, who lives in Raleigh, NC, gave me this recipe years ago. At first, it just didn't sound like it was right…so with caution, I made it. What a wonderful surprise it turned into. Now it is our favorite for every family gathering. But...the family gatherings have become further and further apart…so, I enjoy when we have BBQ by the pool. I don't have a pool…but I will readily take this to anyone's house. Secret is…I don't tell them what is in the recipe.

I posted this recipe years and years ago on the old BBS systems. Most of you don't even remember a BBS…but it was the precursor to the blog and you had a 1200 baud modem. Those days were even before Prodigy! What memories. 


Now, when I do a search on this recipe…it is everywhere!! Hard to believe the power of the interweb….seems to be everywhere today.
