Bacon Blue cheese, Butter-fried Smashburgers

[Blank]

Big front moving in, and wind howling about 40 mph. No way I'm keeping the grill or deep fryer going today. Butter-fried burgers on the stove, and oven French fries instead.

Some folks are fans of pickled red onions, and some aren't. I find that they give me a lot more of the flavor I want, without the after taste or reflux. I love them on almost every sandwich I make.

Try them if you haven't made them at home, and I think you'll love them. Mix it all up to dissolve the sugar and salt. Pour over onions in a sealable jar. When cool, put in the refrigerator. All done!!

One large red onion, sliced thin
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup hot water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
peppercorns to taste
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat)

Have you ever added minced garlic?

 

[Blank]

Nope. I like onion and garlic cooked together, but minced might over power the taste I like, especially with some of the cold cuts. I might give it a try in a small amount and separate batch

I do the same with beets, not on a sandwich but they're great on the side.

throw in a few hard boiled eggs and you would have something.

Going to try some

I like them with double the vinegar and none of the sugar......

 

[Blank]

That's the nice thing, I don't think there is any "wrong" recipe, as long as you like it. Sometimes I go back and forth between apple cider and white vinegar also.

I really like the flavor with redwine vinegar......but is ugly

I got hooked on red wine vinegar on tomato, cucumber, and white onion salads when I was over in Kazakhstan. That's about the only way they eat salad there.
