Donna's White Castle Burger and Award Time!

First of all I would like to apologize to Michelle at Something New is Cooking for taking so long to post about the award she gave me several weeks ago. I'm not doing a very good job managing my time now days and have fallen behind. I would never want anyone to think I was blowing off an award they have so thoughtfully given me. I feel blessed to receive each and every award I have gotten! There are rules to this award so here they are:
1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.
5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated.

I don't know if anyone will find any of these things interesting, but here you go:
1. This week on July 3 Brad and I have officially been an item for 15 years (that's over half of my life!)
2. I was the 2000 homecoming queen at my college. Someday my girls will think that's cool.
3. I don't like celery
4. When I was little I made all my friends come to my playhouse where I served them dry cat and dog food (and we ate it and liked it). That must be where I learned to cook :)
5. I worry to much
6. I have tennis toe but have never even picked up a tennis racket
7. I'm addicted to food blogs :)

I would like to pass this award along to:

On to the food. I'm a huge fan of My Tasty Treasures. Donna's hilarious and dirty and I love seeing what that crazy girl will put next. She also has AWESOME recipes. She posted the recipe for these burgers a while back and I'm so glad I finally pulled it out of the recipe box. My husband was actually excited about this meal. You must try these. I loved the fact you roll the meat onto a baking sheet, then baked it and cut it with a pizza cutter. You must look at Donna's post for these. She has step by step pictures. The original recipe calls for 4 pounds of ground beef, but I cut it in half. Thanks Donna for the GREAT recipe :)


DONNA'S WHITE CASTLE BURGERS
4 lb ground beef
2 pkg. Lipton dry onion soup mix
1 c. milk
blob of peanut butter
lots of diced onions (I used 2)
rolls
ketchup, mustard, cheese, pickles, lettuce and any other hamburger topping you can dream of.

Put meat, milk, soup and peanut butter in a bowl and mix with hands until well mixed. Roll out onto 2 baking sheet and flatten with a rolling pin. Use hands to get into the edges. Place into a 350 oven and bake for 10 minutes. Scatter onions around the sides of the pan where the meat shrank and bake an additional 10 minutes. Top with cheese (if desired) and rolls. Bake an additional 10 minutes. Use a pizza cutter to cut around the rolls. Top with onions and toppings you desire. If you don't understand any of my directions just click on over to Donna's site and check out her step by step pictures.

I loved reading about you! The cat food story made me laugh! I can also see you as a homecoming queen, you're very pretty and obviously you have lots of talent!

I worry way too much also! Maybe it's a mom thing.

Your little burgers look yummy!

Aren't they delicious? I had my husband make them right after Donna posted them and they were soooo good! I can't remember if I let Donna know, I hope I did!

Congrats on your award!

Congratulations on the award! Loved reading your fun facts.

I was just thinking about Donna's White Castle burgers the other day. My husband called from work to ask me if I knew how to make White Castle burgers. The wife of a co-worker was trying to make them. I directed them to My Tasty Treasures. I wonder what they thought of the PG-13 to R rated content when they got there! Oh, well. Donna rocks!

I've wanted to try these for a long time, also. I need a crowd. Maybe when I'm home for the 4th.
Oh dear, those are hilarious! I can certainly see you as a queen, I have no idea what tennis toe is, but... cat and dog food??? REALLY??? Oh my gosh ... kids!

I've never seen a recipe for sliders that included peanut butter so I've been wanting to try these but haven't gotten to them yet.

Congrats on your upcoming anniversary!!

Thanks for the award Heidi! :) I never liked the real White Castle burgers when I was growing up, but I can tell by this recipe that I would enjoy these much more!

Norah said…
Thanks for the award! I'll get it up on my blog in the next day or two. I love the looks of these burgers. I've never tried one but may have to make your recipe to give them a try.

Thank you for the award! I love the dog and cat food confession. I hid behind the couch when I was little and ate a dog biscuit out of curiosity. It made my Mom sick when she found me.
