Cream Cheese Burgers

I do not have a picture to go with the recipe- but these burgers are much more flavorful than a regular burger. The cream cheese filling adds such a unique taste!

Cream Cheese Burgers

2 lbs. ground meat
1 chopped onion
4 T. chopped parsley

Mix together in a large bowl, and form into 12 patties.

Filling:
4 oz. cream cheese
4 T. chopped chives
1 clove of minced garlic.

Mix together, and spoon 1/6 of mixture onto 6 of the patties.

Take the rest of the patties, and place them like lids on the cream cheese topped patties. Press the edges together, and slightly flatten.

Grill burgers until thoroughly cooked.



Let me know if you try these!

A Pleasant Surprise

A few years back, my mom bought me a subscription to Taste of Home.

I just received a notice in the mail stating that because I was a previous subscriber, I can subscribe this year for only $6 dollars!

I can't wait until my magazines come in!

Swedish Meatballs


Photo by Mama.
  • 2 lbs. ground meat
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. milk
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1 c. bread crumbs
  • 2 eggs
Mix ingredients (with your bare hands!!) until well mixed. Roll into 1-2 inch balls and place in a 9x13 pan.

Mix together 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, and 1 can of beef gravy. (I make my own gravy to use, by using Tone's beef base and the recipe on the back of the container.)

Pour over top of meatballs and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
Serve over noodles.

Shape dough into 2 9 inch long rolls. Flatten slightly until about 2 inches wide.

Bake at 375 F for 20-25 minutes. Cool for one hour on cookie sheet.

Using a serrated knife, cut loaves diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place slices on their sides on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325 F for 8 minutes. Turn slices over and bake for an additional 7-9 minutes. Cool.
