ON THE RANGE WESTERN OMELET

This morning, I woke up and felt like having something different for breakfast.  Now, there are several reasons why this could be a problem.  First, I make a big breakfast every morning, so pretty much anything I can think of I've already had recently.  Second, I am trying to eat completely out of my cupboards this week without buying a lot of groceries.  I found some roast beef sandwich meat, and I always have onion on hand.  This turned out great and was enough for 3people ! 

Ingredients
1 Tbs. butter
5 eggs
1/8 cup milk
1/2 onion chopped
1/4 green pepper chopped
1/4 lb. roast beef sandwich meat
3 slices deluxe American cheese
salt and pepper

Heat up a griddle on the stove at a medium low heat.  Melt the butter and spread over the griddle.  Crack the eggs, add the milk, onion and green pepper.  Whisk and pour onto griddle, spreading it out into a large square with the spatula.  Next, salt and pepper.  Cook until you can start to smell the onions and pepper and the egg is not runny.  Add  the cheese and roast beef along one side.  Flip the other side over on top of the side with the cheese and roast beef.  Turn the heat to low and let cook until cheese is melted.  Serve with buttered English muffins.

50 MILES FROM A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, AND A MASSIVE CRAVING!

Here's the thing, I live so far in the boonies, that a simple thing like a fast food burger becomes impossible.  So the only thing to do is to rummage the cupboards and improvise big time.  This is what I came up with.  The rodeo burger!

Ingredients
2 lbs. hamburger 90 % lean
1 onion sliced in rings
salt and pepper
buns
lettuce
Angus barbecue sauce
deluxe American cheese

I made the hamburger into patties and put them on my George Foreman Grill.  Then I salt and peppered and  laid the onion on top.  See photo above.  Then closed the cover and cooked it half done.  Next, I turned the onion over on each patty so that it would brown on both sides.  Then, I closed the cover and let it finish cooking.  When the burgers were cooked, I laid a piece of cheese on them, put them on a bun, added lettuce and the barbecue sauce.  This was delicious and took care of the craving.  Where there is a will, there is a way I always say!!!
