Today’s Menu: Vermont Cheddar Chicken Burger w/ Baked Three Cheese Potato Casserole

A Happy Memorial Day to Everyone! To start this morning off I prepared French Toast, 2 Johnsonville Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. For the French Toast I used Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Wheat Bread and topped it with Sugar Free Log Cabin Maple Syrup and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. One Delicious Breakfast! We have a hot one out there today! 88 degrees, sunny and humid outside. It sure beats the cold and snow though! After Lunch I went and got gas for Mom’s car. Back home did some yard work and watered all the plants. I had a lot of SunScreen on out there! For Dinner tonight we had a Vermont Cheddar Chicken Burger w/ Baked Three Cheese Potato Casserole.

Tried a new Burger for Dinner Tonight, the al fresco Simply Seasoned Chicken Burgers. I found these at Meijer the other day and couldn’t wait to try them! They come in a package of 2 Burgers and are fresh.

To prepare them I pan fried them 4 minutes per side to the internal of 165 DEG F. I served them on an Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Hamburger Bun and topped with a slice of Boar’s Head Vermont Yellow Cheddar Cheese. These fried up perfect and are delicious! I’ll be buying many more of these!

Then to go with the Burgers I prepared a package of Main St. Bistro Baked Three Cheese Potato Casserole. We had this but it’s been quite some time ago, purchased it from Meijer also.

I first heated up the oven to 350 degrees. I removed the tray from the package and removed the film on top. I placed the tray on a baking sheet and heated for 22 minutes, until heated through the dish. Served and one delicious Side Dish! Delicious Potatoes and plenty of Cheese! It has three Cheese on it: Sharp cheddar, Parmesan, and Mozzarella. Excellent Dish from Main Street Bistro Brand. For Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s Stick Pretzels with a Diet Lemonade/Tea Snapple to drink.

To flip or not to flip…..

In general, the fewer times you flip something, the better (once is ideal for most meats). If the meat is stuck to the grill, let it cook more — it will unstick itself when it’s ready for flipping.
