After making my own ground beef from a grassfed beef chuck roast yesterday, I could only do one thing…make hamburgers for supper! There’s lots of fancy ways to make burgers, but I opted for simple.

The pantry and fridge are getting pretty bare, so it was a Throw-Something-In-A-Pan-And-Pray kind of night. It actually turned out very tasty! Seems like some of my best meals… Continue Reading
