| It’s a cup…it’s a hamburger… it’s delicious!! |
Yipee Skipee!!! Summer is finally here!!! Wahoo!! I don’t know about you, but I could eat grilled hot dogs and grilled hamburgers nearly every day. I say nearly because of the law of diminishing returns (it’s the geek in me…sorry) where the first hot dog is incredible, the second also incredible, the third…not so much, and the fourth…must—finish—the—hot–dog, and after that…well you get the point. Regardless, summer barbecue is awesome and I’m always looking for new and fun ways to serve grilled foods to my family – especially since I really do grill year round (we love it thatmuch!). This week I had a thought. What if we grilled something that could act as a container for something else, like salsa or guacamole? What if that something were a Grilled Hamburger Cup???!!! It’s a grilled hamburger (YUM!) but you have a ready-made holder for your favorite toppings and no bun! I figured that just poking a hole in the meat probably wouldn’t hold the hole shape, so I covered a small medicine dispensing cup with foil and made the hole with that. Then I left the cup shaped foil in the burger to maintain the hole shape while grilling. What do you know, it actually worked!! They were amazing right off the grill with homemade guacamole. We also had them filled with salsa, salsa and guacamole together, and the boys filled them with a little barbecue sauce lake. I even popped a whole small salad potato into a few of them. They were deemed a rousing success! They were super-fast to make and best of all – they were grilled!! It’s all good!

The weather here (central Europe) being so awful lately, I find it almost funny to see all those barbecue recipes;)enjoy!
I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and enrngtainiet, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
