Among the items that have been prepped, vacuum-sealed, and frozen for the stockpiling efforts of this past year's pandemic were burgers, full of flavorful goodness, suitable to be cooked to a perfect temperature via sous vide and then finished on the grill with the addition of American cheese. With Sun Chips for a snacky crunch, these were great this past Monday night.
I was ready for the red meat, because early afternoon found me venturing out yet again on my bike. This time, I traveled the Long Branch Trail down to the Salem Creek Greenway, and took it east to Salem Lake, and did the complete 7-mile circuit of the lake, and then huffed and puffed back home. Overall, it was about a 17.5-mile journey, although I thought I'd feel more depleted than I did. After supper, I headed back out with Sumner so we could get in just shy of 3.5 miles on our downtown walk.
Adapted from "Juicy Burgers," originally from Pillsbury Classic Cookbooks recipe magazine, July 2003, p. 52-53. After Pillsbury was purchased in 2001 by General Mills, home of Betty Crocker (founded 100 years ago this year, mind you!), it basically ceased to exist as a company and lives on just as a brand. I guess that's why a Pillsbury cookbook recipe from 2003 is now only found on the Betty Crocker website.
