Bacon & Cheese Fries - A Side Note - 12/22/16

Hello, everyone. A Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you all.  I was pan frying up 3 short strips of bacon and saw how much bacon drippings was left.  So, I decided to pan fry some shoestring french fries in them.  I drained the fries, added the bacon plus diced cheddar cheese and added a few sprinkles of Historic Main Street Seasoning Salt from the Savory Spice Shop in Littleton, CO. Here's the finished product.

I hope you like it.  This will probably be my last post for 2016.  Until 2017, have a Happy New Year!

Grilled Cheesecake Sandwich - 10/27/2016

I then drizzled caramel sauce, hot fudge sauce & lavender red plum sauce and this is the outcome.

Hello everyone.


     Tonight, I made Grilled Italian Cheese Toast to go with tater tots & Italian sausage meatballs.  I cut a ciabatta roll in half.

Breakfast Mack Sandwich with Proper Sauce - 7/31/2016

Hello, everyone.

     I decided to have breakfast for dinner tonight.  So, I made a Breakfast Mack Sandwich with Proper Sauce.  Since you can't get a McDonald's Big Mac at breakfast, I would try to make a breakfast version.

First, the Proper Sauce.  It is a combination of ketchup, BBQ Sauce, Dijon Mustard & Ranch dressing.  Adjust each to your taste.  Here's the finished Proper Sauce.

Now, for the sandwich.  It's 2 pork breakfast sausage/ground beef patties, Proper Sauce, hash browns, cheese, peppers & onions on a grilled bagel.  Here's the sandwich.

One of the patties is under the cheese.  I hope you like this picture.  No sides needed for this item.  That's it for this post. I would like to thank Vicente Arenas from KUSA in Denver, CO. for the inspiration for this post.  Until next post, have a great day.
