Season For Burgers

Since it's summer I have gotten into making my own burgers. We had a going away party for the student living with us so I made roasted red pepper(I roasted them myself)and goat cheese burgers. They were fantastic! I will be making them again in the near future, that's for sure! 

Today I decided to try a couple more idea's I had brewing. The best part is my uncle Les was nice enough to mail me his camera he wasn't using so I took pictures of it all! Let the fun begin!

This is my usual setup before I start cooking. Laptop and speakers for music and today I added a fan because it's SO hot here. I usually listen to music but a lot of the time I'll watch TV and movies off of Netflix.

This is my kitchen. Nice and clean and ready to get messy.

Both burgers mixed up.

Roasted pepper done. I set my oven to broil and put it up to 500f and put the pepper on the top level. I rotate it every 7 min until all sides are done. Then put it in a bowl with a tea towel over it while it cools down. This is so it's easier to peel the skin off. The skin should just peel off and the seeds will be easy to take out too. DO NOT RINSE IT! It will take all the flavor out if you do.

Patties all done.

Sauteed mushrooms in garlic, butter and balsamic vinegar. For the burger.

Roasted green beans and cherry tomatoes in garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper for my salad.

In the toasted oven they go!

I decided to make the blue cheese burger.

End result! An awesome dinner complete with an Alexander Keith's Red Amber Ale.

A close up of my salad. I put the roasted pepper in it too with a simple balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil dressing.

Burger all done topped with the sauteed mushrooms, balsamic mayo and romaine. I love balsamic vinegar if you haven't noticed!

I ate it all! It was fantastic!

I will make the mango one tomorrow and let you all know how it went. If you have any suggestions of burgers you've tried out let me know! I would love to try them!
