garlic-thyme mini burgers …

June 10, 2010

Barbecue season is in full swing now that summer has finally arrived.
These garlic-thyme burgers are packed with amazing flavor, and are a welcomed change to your average grilled burger.
They are definitely for the garlic lover, and the fresh thyme adds a nice flavor.  It’s a great way to impress your guests at your next barbecue.  You can make mini slider burgers, or stick with your average size burger, either way, they are tasty!
Check out the recipe below.
Garlic-Thyme Burgers
{adapted from this recipe}
Ingredients
  • 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/2  teaspoon  kosher salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 2  garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup finely minced onion
  • 1  pound  ground beef or sirloin
  • hard rolls [for mini slider size hamburgers] or regular buns for regular size burgers.
In a medium bowl, mix meat with thyme, salt, pepper, garlic, and onions.   Blend well.
form into 3 inch round patties for mini burgers [i used a mini patty form, you could also use a round cookie cutter for the mini ones]
Heat Grill and grill until meat is cooked through.  I used a wire basket to grill my mini burgers so they wouldn’t fall through the griddles.
Recipe makes about 10 mini burgers, or 4-5 regular burgers.
Serve on rolls with your favorite toppings.
enjoy!

striped tops …

i love these striped bow neck quarter length sleeve tops.
i may have bought one in every color… and, two navy blue ones.
why? because i wear them all the time and wore out my other favorite ones from a few years ago, so i figure i’d better stock up until another cute batch comes along.
and, for $10.50 a pop… why not?
and, speaking of forever 21, i also picked up this cute top. perfect and lightweight for summer!
