Cast Iron Skillet Burgers

A sudden rain shower threw a wrench in my grilling plan tonight. Anyways......had to improvise. Cast iron skillet mushroom and provolone burgers with potatoes and snap peas and spicy corn on the cob. I promise to produce something more culinarilly inspired next go round.

Cooking Ingredients for Burgers:
1 lb. hamburger meat
2 tablespoon Worcestershire
2 tablespoon Teriyaki
2 tablespoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1 tablespoon of Light Soy
pinch of red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon of Canola Oil

Cooking Instructions for Burgers:
Mix all ingredients on the above list (except for oil) in one large sized Pyrex Bowl making sure not to overwork the meat. Once combined, form the meat into a ball in the bottom of the bowl and score it with your hand. Half across, then half vertically. This will give you nice and even sized burgers. Form each quarter into patties. Meanwhile, heat your skillet on medium high with 1 tablespoon of canola oil. Place your hamburger patties in your skillet once it is HOT and the meat sizzles. Cook to desired temperature.

Where do the mushrooms come from?

I used leftover Homemade French Onion Soup (see recipe following this) and a jar of Green Giant mushrooms to ladle into my skillet while my burgers were cooking. If you don't have leftoever soup..........in a sauce pan, strain your mushrooms and mix with one diced onion, 1 teaspoon of bouillon granules, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook until your onions are tender and spoon on top of your burgers once they are cooked to the desired temperature.

Top your burger with onions, mushrooms, and with Provolone and watch it melt......

Cooking Ingredients for Corn on the Cob:

Corn on the Cob- Shucked and silks removed
3 tablespoon of Zatarans Concentrated Shrimp and Crab Boil
2 tablespoons butter
salt
pepper
pinch of red pepper flakes
8 cups of water


Cooking Instructions:
Bring all of the above ingredients (except for the corn) to a boil in your favorite pasta boiler. Add the cleaned corn. Cook for 20 minutes. Strain and serve along with your favorite dish.

It turned out to be a really yummy dinner, guys, and Donnie ate it up!!!!!! Boys seem to love this kind of food.
