Yields 1 burger
- 1/4 - 1/3 lb ground beef
- 4 cloves garlic, minced/crushed
- 1 dash liquid smoke
- pinch of salt and fresh ground pepper
- 1 tsp Worcestershire or soy sauce
Combine the beef with the liquid smoke, salt, pepper and Worcestershire or soy sauce. Split in half and flatten into a thin, flat patty. Spread garlic evenly over the surface of one patty, staying a little away from the edges. Place the other patty on top and press the edges in to seal.
Grill until done to your liking. (I cooked mine for 4 - 5 minutes on a Foreman indoor grill.)
Makes enough for 2
- 3 medium Idaho or russet potatoes
- small pinch of hot Hungarian paprika
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp onion powder or granulated onion
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder or granulated garlic
- salt
- non-stick spray
- oil
Preheat oven to 425F.
Cut potatoes into steak fries. Make sure fries have been patted dry if the potatoes were stored in water. In a large bowl, mix together the potatoes with all of the spices, tossing well to ensure even coverage. Drizzle about 2 tsp of oil, tossing to combine.
Spread fries evenly on a cookie sheet lined with silicone or foil. Don't overcrowd. Bake for 30 - 45 minutes, depending on fry thickness, tossing every 10 to 15 minutes. Spray with non-stick spray about halfway through.
Serve with garlic burgers and garlic sauce for a great garlicky meal!
