What's for dinner? April 14

Tweet

What's going on the dinner table tonight? Do tell! I didn't eat much at work today so I'm STARVING. (well not literally but man am I hungry) I took some ground beef out of the freezer. It has been thawing on the counter for the past 2 hours but I'm going to need the assistance of the microwave to finish off that process. I'm going to make a double smashed cheeseburger with roasted mirepoix (carrot, onion, and celery run through a mini chopper). The recipe comes from Alex Guarnaschelli's first cookbook--Old-School Comfort Food. I found a similar recipe on the Food Network site but it is different from the one in the cookbook. There isn't a cheese sauce and there definitely is mayonnaise in the meat mixture. It is close but not the same. To go with it I will have some extra well-done tater tots. I'm trying to use up some stuff from the freezer because it is absurdly full again. I really need to learn how to cook for 2 at a time rather than 4 or 6. It is the Italian in me. I'll have some kind of steamed vegetable (green beans and baby carrots or mixed spring veggies) because I am an adult and eat vegetables. That's what is happening here. What are YOU having? I want to know!
