Quick hamburger meals for one or two
2 hamburger patties seasoned well with pepper, salt,
garlic and onion powder.
Fry in small cast iron skillet. Brown fast on both
sides then turn burner on slow and cook until well
done. While the patties are cooking, wash, dry and
pierce with a fork one or two med size potatos. Put on
a paper towel and cook in microwave for 4-6 minutes for
1 potato or 8-10 min for 2 potato. When done split in
two and place cut side down in skillet where hamburger
patties have just been fried. Put a slice of cheese on
each patty. Place hamburger buns on top of meat
and cheese. Add a salad and dessert and you have a
quick meal! If you have leftover pasta such as macaroni
shells, it can be stirred around in the skillet where
the patties are cooked instead of baked potatos. If
used this way, you could just use the patty as a meat
dish and serve
a salad and dessert.
