Smoked Cheddar Bison Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Dinner Tonight: Smoked Cheddar Bison Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

A laid back back day today! Outside riding the 4 wheeler around and watching Football. Went with a light and easy to prepare dinner, Smoked Cheddar Bison Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries. I used Great Range Ground Bison. I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Steakhouse Seasoning and fried it in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, about 4 minutes per side. It came out just like I wanted medium rare! It's tough to beat the taste of Bison and how easy it is to prepare. Bison's a lean meat so it fries up or grills in a short period of time. I just hope it doesn't keep going up in price like it has been. I topped my Burger with a slice of Bordon's Smoked Cheddar and served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun.

For a side I baked up some Alexia Crinkle Fries. Crisp and great tasting fries plus only 120 calories and 19 carbs. I had a side of a new Ketchup that I purchased on my last trip to Jungle Jim's Market, Captain Thom's Slappin' Fat Bacon Ketchup. It's a very sweet, tangy, smoky – with just a hint of spiciness from the red pepper. This really is a great tasting catsup. Great to keep on hand when you want that bit of bacon flavor added to your meals. this ketchup would be great for a Meatloaf! Then for dessert later I baked 3 mini loaves of Pillsbury Nut Quick Bread. I'll keep I loaf out while freezing the other 2.

Sloppy Bison Joe's w/ Baked Potato Chips

Dinner Tonight: Sloppy Bison Joe's w/ Baked Potato Chips


I had some extra Ground Bison Sirloin so I decided to make Sloppy Joes out of it. I browned the Bison in Extra Virgin Olive Oil and seasoned it with Sea Salt, ground Black Pepper, and Ground Smoked Cumin. I try to use Cumin as much as I can due to the health benefits of it. After browning the Bison I added a jar of Not So Sloppy Joe Sauce. I ran across this sauce at Meijer a while back and have it used it ever since for all my Sloppy Joes. It's a thick sauce that's seasoned perfectly! I served the Joe on Healthy Life Whole Grain Buns. I had a side of Ruffles Baked Potato Chips. A good tasting chip that's only 122 calories and 22 carbs.
