Cheddar Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Cheddar Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Fries

Back to a beautiful, sunny, Autumn Day, in the 20's this morning starting out though. Not much going on today, most of my friends are in downtown Cincinnati for the Bengals late afternoon Football Game. For dinner it was a Cheddar Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Fries.




I used Great Range Ground Bison. I seasoned it with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper and  pan fried it in Canola Oil, about 4 minutes per side. Came out medium rare with a nice char on the outside with a little pink and juicy in the middle! I made that switch to Buffalo, or Bison, quite a while back and have never missed Beef. I just love the taste of Buffalo over Beef and the way it cooks up. I served it on an Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bun and topped the Burger with a slice of Sargento Ultra Thin Sharp Cheddar. For a side I baked up some Ore Ida Simply Cracked Black Pepper and Sea Salt Country Style Fries. For dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.

Mushroom Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Dinner Tonight: Mushroom Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

I was out getting the morning paper, about 6:45, and checked the outside thermometer and it was 47 degrees! August 14th and 47 this morning, Amazing and I love it! The day it was only 71 with a cool breeze. I had the 4 wheel Mobility Cart out all day. For dinner I prepared a Mushroom Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries.





Tried to get the grill going but couldn't get it fired up, this is the last Summer for this grill. I used Great Range Ground Bison. I seasoned it with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper and since the grill was down I pan fried it in Canola Oil, about 4 minutes per side. Came out just like I like them, medium rare with a nice char on the outside with a little pink and juicy in the middle! I served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun and topped the Burger with Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms.





For a side to go with that delicious Buffalo Burger I baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries. I also had a couple of Peppadews to add some of that delicious Peppadew flavor. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.

Sauteed Mushroom Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Dinner Tonight: Sauteed Mushroom Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Not much going on today. I even took a rare afternoon siesta which I hardly ever do. I did go to a local farmers Vegetable stand nearby here and picked up a Watermelon and Cantaloupe up for my Mom and Dad. I can eat either but never been a huge fan of either. For dinner I prepared a Sauteed Mushroom Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries.





I used Great Range Ground Bison to make my Burger. My favorite is Wild Idea Buffalo but I have a lot of the Great Range Bison in the freezer that I have to use. It's always a good product but it doesn't have the taste to it as Wild Idea Buffalo does. Anyway I made my pattie and seasoned it with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper. I pan fried it in Canola Oil and fried it about 4 minutes per side, a good medium rare with a char on the outside and a little pink in the center. Makes a delicious juicy burger! I served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun and topped with Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms.





To go with my Burger I had Baked Ore Ida Crinkle Fries with a side of Hunt's Ketchup. Made a perfect and healthier Burger and Fries. Healthier by using Bison over Beef, by using a Whole Grain Bun, and by Baking the Fries instead of a deep fry. For dessert later a bowl of Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunks.

Black and Blue Bison Burger with Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Ore Ida Griller Seasioned Potatoes

Today's Menu: Black and Blue Bison Burger with Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Ore Ida Griller Seasioned Potatoes

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood today! A picture perfect day, sunny, about 82 degrees with a slight cool breeze. For dinner I prepared a Black & Blue Bison Burger topped with Sauteed Mushrooms and served on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun. I used Great Range Ground Bison Sirloin that I seasoned with Cajun's Choice Blackened Seasoning. While making  the pattie I made a hole in the center about halfway through the pattie. I then filled it with Murray's Maytag Crumbled Blue Cheese and topped it off with the Ground Bison. So as the Burger was frying the Blue Cheese was melting on the inside and Blackened on the outside. Served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun and topped off with Sauteed Mushrooms, another one that's too good. The Burger tasted fantastic! It had that Blackened taste along with the pure taste of the Bison and the sharp taste of the Blue Cheese. For a side I had Ore Ida Griller Seasoned Potatoes. For dessert later a Pillsbury Reduced Fat Cinnamon Roll, not too bad at 130 calories and 24 carbs per serving.

Smoked Cheddar & Mushroom Bison Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Today's Menu: Smoked Cheddar & Mushroom Bison Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

We were supposed to get 3 - 4 inches of rain around here in the next 2 days and it was to start around noon, we've yet to receive a drop, so I went to Krogers early. I picked up some Great Range Brand Ground Bison. It was 1 pound package and enough to make a couple of burgers and some Bison Joes later. Anyway for dinner tonight I had a Smoked Cheddar & Mushroom Bison Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries.

I seasoned the Bison Burger with McCormick Grinder Steakhouse Seasoning and fried about 3 1/2 minutes per side in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Served on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun and topped with a slice of Borden Smoked Cheddar and Sauteed Mushrooms. For a side I baked a serving of Ore Ida Crinkle Fries. For dessert later a bowl of Breyer's Carb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream topped with Del Monte No Sugar Added Sliced Peaches.
