Still Enjoying the Blackstone Griddle... Smash Burgers

The weather doesn't always cooperate but when it's nice enough outside, I like to fire up the Blackstone griddle. I've got it set up on my back deck, right outside of the kitchen door. Comes in really handy!

Made some onion smash burgers recently.. started with the bacon and sliced onions..

added balls of beef...

I let the beef rounds go for awhile before smashing flat..

The idea is to get a good "crust" on the burger...

When the onions are halfway tender, I top the burger patties...

Then flip em over to cook the bottom...

I sprinkled these with my cold smoked salt, pepper, garlic blend....

Toasted my buns....

I had my eye on this one from the beginning!

Topped mine with bacon...

added a lid and smooshed it down a bit. I like flat burgers.

I also added plain ole yellow mustard to mine.
Served with some of my twangy green tomatoes and supper was ready!

I think smashed burgers are my favorite kind of burger. I love the crust!
The Blackstone has been getting a bit of use this winter. I really love the thing!


Hope everyone is keeping safe and healthy. The storms in parts of the country sound incredible! Keeping you all in my thoughts.

I Miss Him.....

I think he knows it's time to move on... meet a new herd of "girls".

No more tearing up fence, jumping fence, getting out, or visiting the pretty cows down the road!

The girls are fat n happy, have their winter coats.

The drought is still in full swing here.. everything is brown and crisp and the burn ban is in effect.

It's been a mild winter, weather wise, but there's not much for the critters to eat. They appreciate the extra hay and feed.

The windmill is holding up nicely...

I managed to bring some flowers home from the grocery store to brighten my life. Funny, how a little bit of color can make me smile so....  :)
All is well in the middle of nowhere!
