No, this is not our family portrait. Our daughter Sara loves to try new recipes and has become quite the cookbook collector. I think it's hereditary because my mom was a HUGE collector of cookbooks also. One of Sara's favorite TV shows is Bob's Burgers, so when son Michael saw this cookbook, he knew it would be a perfect Christmas gift for his sister!
The show is pretty silly, and the names of the burger recipes are even sillier, but man, do they ever taste good! Here's one of our favorites...made with butter and cheese, of course. Hope you enjoy it too.
Poutine On The Ritz
3 tablespoons black pepper, divided
2 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
French fries or Tator tots
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
3 cups beef stock
1 pound ground beef
salt
4 buns
fresh cheese curds
1 sleeve Ritz crackers
Combine 2 tablespoons of the pepper with the paprika and cayenne in a large bowl. Cook the Fries (or Tots) and then toss with the pepper mixture and a pinch of salt while still warm.
To make the gravy, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the flour. Keep whisking until the mix starts to turn a light brown. Add in 2 cups of the beef stock and stir until completely combined. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon of the pepper, and then slowly add the remaining stock.
Make 4 patties, season both sides with salt and pepper, and cook.
Build your burger- bottom bun, a bunch of cheese curds, brown gravy, a gratuitous amount of crumbled Ritz crackers, top bun.
For the potatoes- mix in cheese curds with Fries (or Tots) and pour gravy on top.
Dinner is served!
It's simple, but a bit classier than a plain burger,
and the Tots...Oh my gosh!
