Muenster Cheese Turkey Burger w/ Baked Potato

Dinner Tonight: Muenster Cheese Turkey Burger w/ Baked Potato


Just a beautiful Spring morning out today, the Eastern Sky was just lit up with beautiful

colors this morning at Dawn. Low 70's and partly cloudy today. Finished up the outdoor repairs today, they put a clear sealant coating on the wooden ramp leading fro the driveway to the kitchen. It should be dry enough to use after 12 hours or so. One of my best friends is in town for a week, looking forward to catching up with him Wednesday for lunch! For dinner tonight I prepared a Muenster Cheese Turkey Burger w/ Baked Potato.



I’m using the Jennie – O Turkey Burger Patties. I had picked up a package at Meijer a while back, and have them freezer in individual freezer bags. So I grabbed one from the freezer and let it thaw overnight in the fridge. They’re already pre-made Patties and come fresh or frozen so all I did was season it with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper and fry! I fried it in Extra Virgin Olive Oil about 8 minutes per side. Always cook to well-done, 165°F as measured by a meat thermometer. As always the Burger comes out moist, flavorful, and delicious! Served it on a Kroger Lite Wheat Hamburger Bun and topped with a slice of Simple Truth Muenster Cheese.



For a side with my Burger I had a Baked Potato that I seasoned with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Sliced Cumin Spiced Pork Tenderloin Sandwich w/ Baked Steak Fries

Dinner Tonight: Sliced Cumin Spiced Pork Tenderloin Sandwich w/ Baked Steak Fries




A cool morning, but another beautiful Spring Day out. The outside work is continuing today, still working on the wooden deck. Did a load of laundry and few household chores. After everything was done headed outside and got the 4 wheel cart out for a while, enjoying all this sunshine! I grabbed a Pork Tenderloin from the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge overnight. Dinner tonight is a Sliced Cumin Spiced Pork Tenderloin Sandwich w/ Baked Steak Fries.





I’m using my favorite rub for Pork, the Cumin Spiced Rub. I purchased a few of the Simple Truth

Pork Tenderloin from Kroger and have them in the freezer. To prepare it I’ll need; 1 Pork Tenderloin, 1 tbsp Roasted Cumin, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 tsp Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian Paprika, 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. To prepare it preheat oven to 350°. Combine all the ingredients; rub it all over the pork. Let stand 20 minutes. Heat the oil in a Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes, browning on all sides. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until a thermometer registers 145° (slightly pink), turning after 7 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Then get ready to enjoy one delicious Pork Tenderloin! Fantastic combo of Spices, which made one incredible Crust on the Pork with the inside being tender and moist! I let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing, to cool somewhat and let the juices marinate back into the Tenderloin. Leave the oven on so you can bake your sandwich.




Grabbed a knife and sharpened it up real good before using. I sliced up the entire Tenderloin, enough

for my dinner tonight and a couple of sandwiches for lunch. I sliced it fairly thin, it's just incredibly moist. After slicing it up I got a Perfection Deli Mini Sub Wheat Bun, Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo w/ Olive Oil, and a slice of Simple Truth Muenster Cheese. Built my sandwich by first laying the slice of Cheese, then the sliced Pork, and topped it with the Mayo. The oven was still on from roasting the Pork Tenderloin. Laid the sandwich on a small baking sheet, open faced, and baked until heated through and the Cheese was melting. I love using Muenster Cheese when it's used a topping on baked sandwiches, melts perfect and retains it's full flavor. What a Sandwich! Moist and flavorful, the Cumin Spiced Rub gives the Pork a fantastic crust.




Then for a side dish I Baked some Ore Ida Steak Fries, perfect Fries for any Sandwich. Got to Love It! For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

Ground Pork Burger w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Ground Pork Burger w/ Baked Fries

It's been a cold and rainy day here all day. Possible snow flurries the next couple of days, come on Mother Nature enough is enough! Had to go the bank and then pick up a few groceries for Mom and back home, miserable outside. For dinner tonight I prepared a Ground Pork Burger w/ Baked Fries.

I had bought a 1 lb. package of Kroger Ground Pork at Kroger a couple of weeks ago and made 5 Pork Burgers out of it, freezing them. I grabbed one out of the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge overnight. To prepare it I seasoned it McCormick Grinder Sea salt and Black Peppercorn. Then pan fried it in a small skillet in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 4 1/2 minutes per side. Served it on a Kroger Lite Wheat Bun and topped it with a slice of Simple Truth Muenster Cheese. The Ground Pork is always so moist and flavorful, again Kroger has some of the best Pork Products around. I also baked some Ore Ida Simply Cracked Black Pepper and Sea Salt Country Style Fries, with a side of Hunt's Ketchup for dipping. I also had some Teriyaki Marinated Mushrooms on the side. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.
