I love when I come across a recipe, make it and my mouth just waters right from the first bite. Well, that is exactly what happened when I made this for dinner. I really thought, this is just gonna be another burger recipe. I wanted to stick with my New Year's diet plan so I decided to eliminate the bun and serve this new French Onion Burger over a bed of mashed potatoes. I took my first bite and it brought me back to my childhood with memories of a Salisbury Steak TV dinner, something that I absolutely love. And now I can make it from fresh ingredients and it taste SO GOOD!
I am so excited that I picked up this soup from Campbell's Kitchen, it's not something I would have ever tried if it was not for Campbell's and Foodbuzz, so THANK YOU! I promise you all this recipe will not disappoint you, the photos do not do it justice (photographing a hamburger patty isn't easy, I did the best I could). And if you have picky little kids (like me), I served my son's burger with cheese on a bun, so this recipe is good for making a delicious grown-up meal and a kid meal all in one shot.

Stir the soup in the skillet and heat to a boil. Return the burgers to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the burgers are cooked through. Traditional Burger Style: Top the burgers with the cheese and cook until the cheese is melted. Serve the burgers on the buns with the soup mixture for dipping Salisbury Steak Style: Leave the burger in pan to cook for add'l 5 minutes flipping once. Make your choice of mashed potatoes or egg noodles and serve the burger patty on top with as much or as little gravy as you'd like.

It's been a few months now, with several plane trips back and forth from California to Missouri, but my daughters are away at college and having the time of their life. I will admit facebook and txt'ing make it a whole lot easier. And God knew what he was doing when he blessed me with twins, because I have one twin who calls me almost everyday (thank GOODNESS) and I have another twin who I hardly hear from at all. Good thing her sister keeps me up to date on all the happenings around there. I think I've talk to them almost every single day in some way shape or form, txt, email, or facebook. It sure makes being 1837 miles away so much easier.

First flatten out all biscuits. You can use a small rolling pin or even just your hand. Layer on a small tsp of sauce, a pepperoni (or sausage, pineapple or whatever filling you like), add in a chuck of cheese and then fold. You will fold like a square (gather the bottom, then both sides, then the top), you will end up with a round'ish-square'ish bundle.





I had a few million food challenges this week with being out of town for four days at a scrapbook retreat, but I tried to over-compensate for this by making some healthy snack choices (apples and greek yogurt, nuts for snack, dip made with greek yogurt and lots and lots of salads) and I left the scrapbook room twice each day to do some kind of work out. We tried a Bob Harper pinterest post I found when we first woke up in the morning, I brought the 30-Day Shred Video from Jillian Michales which we did each day and one day we went on a 2.5 mile hike, and pretty intense hike. I defiantly got in more exercise then I ever have at a weekend scrapbooking event and this made me very proud of this small improvement in my exercise regiment.

Yep, this replaces all other bean dips I've made (or posted) in the past. Sometimes you just come across those recipes and no other recipe will ever take it's place. Yep, this is one of those recipes. You can bet on it that this will for sure make it into my Volume 3 Family Cookbook/Scrapbook. And I just LOVE the name too.. how CUTE is that and since I have a step-son who lives in Texas, this ones for you Brandon!
