Bistro Burger and Garlic Parmesan Fries

Bistro Burger

1 1/4 lbs of ground beef
1 T. ketchup
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 t. basil
1/2 t. thyme
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. onion powder
1 t. Cavenders
Salt and pepper to taste

In a medium bowl, using your hands, combine the beef with all ingredients. Divide into 4 patties and grill to likeness. (Side note: We used our indoor grill pan due to excessive heat! If you don't have one, you need one.)

Meanwhile, slice 1 small onion and 1 cup of mushrooms. Saute in 1 T. of butter until browned. Once burgers are cooked, top with sauteed mushroom and onions then finish off with a slice of Monterey Jack cheese.



Garlic Parmesan Fries

2 large baking potatoes
2 T. vegetable oil
1 t. salt
2 T. butter
1 1/2 t. garlic powder
2 T. parmesan cheese
1 t. dried parsley

Using a mandoline or by hand, cut potatoes into strips leaving the skin on. Then toss potatoes with oil and salt. Spread on greased cookie sheet and bake for 50 minutes at 400 degrees turning potatoes over after 20 or so minutes.

Place butter, garlic powder and dried parsley in a small bowl and microwave until butter is melted. Toss butter mixture with cooked fries and top with parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!
