Copycat Starbuck’s Bacon & Gouda Sandwich

July 15, 2014 by Kay Leave a Comment

Copycat Starbuck’s Bacon & Gouda Sandwich is a toasted bun filled with eggs, crispy bacon and sharp gouda cheese.

My daughter Hailey worked at Starbuck’s for years, so naturally I visited the place often. I normally go for my latte and right now that would be a Triple Shot Venti Non-Fat Cinnamon Dolce Latte…..Yum!

I do enjoy a baked good once in awhile but usually I am there for the coffee drink. I will tell you when Starbuck’s came out with their breakfast sandwiches I tried and loved the Bacon Gouda Sandwich. I knew I would need to recreate this sandwich. Simple ingredients that equal a delicious sandwich.

I found my ciabatta rolls at Sams Cub of all places. And this is one of my money saving tips; buy an item in bulk, the cost will be less and you can do like I do, use half and freeze half for a later use. Enjoy!

Copycat Starbuck’s Bacon & Gouda Sandwich

Ingredients

6 eggs
1/4 cup half & half
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
Butter for cooking the eggs
8 slices of bacon, cooked
4 slices of gouda cheese
4 ciabatta rolls, toasted

Instructions

In a bowl, add the eggs, half & half, salt and pepper; whisk to combine. In the same pan, over medium heat, add a pat of butter. Add a circular mold to the pan. Holding down the mold, pour a 1/4 of the egg batter in the mold. Hold the mold for a few seconds so the batter doesn't sneak out the bottom; remove the mold. Once the egg is set, turn over and add a 1/4 cup of the cheese. Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Do this step 3 more times.
Set the eggs aside. In the same pan, add a pat of butter and place the buns cut side down and toast the buns until lightly browned.
To assemble the sandwich place the bottom of the bun on a plate. Top with the egg portion, top it with 2 slices of bacon. Add the top of the bun, cut in half and it's ready to eat!

Cheesy & Bacon Goodness

Herb Meatballs

April 5, 2014 by Kay 10 Comments

This recipe for Herb Meatballs is easy to prepare and is packed full of flavor with tasty spices and parmesan cheese.

I like the versatility of the Herb Meatballs. I use them as an appetizer with Honey Balsamic BBQ Sauce, perfect for a family gathering or pot luck.

A quick weeknight meal would be meatballs subs, heat the meatballs in pizza sauce and add some meatballs to a bun, top it with cheese and you have a delicious sub.

Of course, use the Herb Meatballs for Spaghetti & Meatballs or Baked Ziti. Lastly, I like to use these on a pizza, Meatball Pizza is one of my favorites.

You can form the meatballs into two sizes, either a 1 tablespoon or 2 tablespoon cookie scoop. You can easily double or triple this recipe. You can also freeze them for up to three months baked or unbaked. I prefer to bake mine before I freeze them.

Meatball after they are mixed.

I use a cookie scoop to form the meatballs.

Fresh out of the oven, 1 tbsp. size.

Fresh out of the oven, 2 tbsp. size.

I tripled the batch.

Herb Meatballs

Ingredients

1 lb. ground chuck
½ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. ketchup
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. oregano
2 tsp. basil
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with foil or parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, add all of the ingredients and mix on low speed until combined, making sure not to over mix.
I make the meatballs in two different sizes depending on what I am going to use them for. I like to use a cookie scoop to make them all even in size and I use a 1 tbsp. or a 2 tbsp. scoop. Grab mixture and form into a ball, add it to the baking sheet. Continue making meatballs out of the rest of the mixture and add them to the baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for approximately 15 minutes for the small meatballs and 20-22 minutes for the large.

Notes

Small size yield about 30 meatballs, Large size yield about 15 meatballs.

Sloppy Joe’s

March 23, 2014 by Kay 2 Comments

Sloppy Joe’s are an All American Classic sandwich full of hamburger, onion, pepper and a tangy sauce.

This recipe certainly takes me back to my childhood, although the recipe my Mom used to make is a bit different than my recipe. I add a bit off BBQ sauce, sweet pickle relish and apple cider vinegar to give the sandwich a unique and delicious tangy flavor.

I use ground chuck to reduce the amount of fat in the sandwich and I add in peppers to incorporate more vegetables. I like to find ways to add more vegetables into my recipes. If you have kids that don’t like to eat their vegetables, this is a good trick to have up your sleeve.

Rather than serving the Sloppy Joe’s on a bun, you can also serve this on top of tortilla chips with cheddar cheese melted on top. All you need to do is preheat your oven to 350 degrees, line a baking sheet with tortilla chips, top the chips with the hot Sloppy Joe mixture and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 7-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Stuff the bun full of the beef mixture.

A soft bun works perfect.

I love when the meat mixture overflows on my plate.

Yield: Approx. 8 Sandwiches

Sloppy Joe’s

Ingredients

1 tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium sweet pepper, chopped
1 ½ lb.s ground chuck
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
½ cup sweet pickle relish
2 – 5 tbsp. apple cider vinegar * See note below
½ cup ketchup
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. yellow mustard
1 cup BBQ sauce, **

Instructions

In a large sauce pan over medium high heat add the olive oil, onion and pepper. Saute for 5 minutes, remove from the pan and set aside. Add the ground chuck to the pan and season with the salt & pepper. Brown the meat until it’s cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain the fat from the pan and add the onion mixture back in to the pan and stir to combine, reduce heat to medium.
While the ground chuck is browning, combine the following in a bowl: relish, vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and BBQ sauce. Stir to combine and add it to the meat mixture. Stir to combine. Cook until heated through, 5-8 minutes. Serve on your favorite bun, I recommend a soft bun.

Notes

* Start with 2 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar, taste the Sloppy Joe's at that time and determine if you would like to add more. ** I prefer Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce because it is a thick BBQ Sauce and works well in this recipe.

Slow Cooker BBQ Beef

March 8, 2014 by Kay 12 Comments

I am a huge fan of BBQ and this recipe for Slow Cooker BBQ Beef is one of my favorites.

First, this recipe is a slow cooker recipe and it makes the beef extremely tender. Second, there are two ingredients in this recipe that are not typical for BBQ and those ingredients are pickles and cocktail sauce and they add a unique flavor to the beef. Trust me, you will love it!

I eat the Slow Cooker BBQ Beef as is, but you can easily serve this dish as sandwiches or on top of mashed potatoes or polenta. You could also make a grilled cheese out of this or a quesadilla. The possibilities are endless.

Layer the bottom with onions.

Layer the meat on top of the onions.

Add the chopped pickles.

Pour the cocktail sauce mixture on top.

After it’s been cooking for 3 hours.

Pull the beef out of the slow cooker.

Shred the beef with forks.

Add the beef back in with the BBQ sauce.

The juiciest BBQ Beef.

Perfect on a piece of bread.

Enjoy!

Slow Cooker BBQ Beef

Ingredients

2 large onions, cut into thick slices
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 – 5 lbs. beef chuck roast
Salt & Pepper
1 ½ cups chopped dill pickles
1 – 12 ounce jar cocktail sauce
2/3 cup ketchup
3 tbsp. pickle juice
1 cup thick BBQ Sauce

Instructions

Lay the onion slices in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Cut the chuck roast into 4 large pieces, cutting off some of the outer fat. Lay the meat on top of the onions in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together the cocktail sauce, ketchup and pickle juice. Pour evenly over the meat in the slow cooker.
Turn the slow cooker on low and cook for 5-6 hours on low at which time you should remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred the meat with two forks on a cutting board and let rest.
Remove the onions and pickles from the slow cooker with a slotted spoon. Use a knife to chop the mixture into small pieces.
Add the BBQ sauce to the slow cooker and mix thoroughly with the juice that’s already in the slow cooker. Add in the meat and onion/pickle mixture, stir to combine. Put the cover back on and cook for another 30-60 minutes, until heated through and then it’s ready to be served.
