Priscilla’s Favourite Recipes

Being too tired and lazy after doing some packing, my boy requested that I made cheeseburger for him for dinner. So after thawing the minced beef and found a head of cabbage and a carrot in the refrigerator, I decided that we can have a simple home-made cheese burger meal with coleslaw.

Ingredients for Cheeseburger:
250g minced lean beef
2 tbsp ketchup
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 egg, beaten
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp Canola oil
1 large onion, chopped into small bits
4 Burger buns, sliced into 2
lettuce and tomatoes
sweet prickles
8 slices mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp mayonnaise to spread on buns

Method:
1. Heat up the oil in the frying pan and stir-fry the onion till translucent.

2. Scoop them up and place into a big bowl with the minced beef, ketcup, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mixed well.

3. Add in the bread crumb and mixed well with the egg.

4. Once the mixture is well mixed, divided into 4 ball and make into patties.

5. Heat up the frying pan in medium high heat and place the patty in to cook for 5 minutes on each side or till cooked through.

6. Place the half bun into toaster and toast for 30 seconds, spread with mayonnaise. Place the lettuce and tomato and some sweet prickles and a cheese on the bottom of bun.

7. When the beef patty is cooked, transferred into the bun and add another layer of cheese and then lettuce and tomato and the top half of bun. Served with home-made coleslaw.

Here’s the recipe to coleslaw.

This is a very simple to make side dish for western meal or just for snack.

Ingredients:
8 cups finely diced cabbage (about 1 head)
1/4 cup think shredded carrots
2 tablespoons minced onions
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

Methods:
1. Be sure cabbage and carrots are chopped up into very fine pieces.

2. Combine the sugar, salt, pepper, milk, mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, and lemon juice in a large bowl and beat until smooth.

3. Add the cabbage, carrots, and onion, and mix well.

4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Personally, I think it taste really well overnight.

It has been a while since I last posted recipes. Been very busy lately and taking care of my dear husband and my boy who are down with cold at the beginning of winter. Make quite a bit of food but did not manage to take photos of all and so will only add those that I remembered to take photos as my hands are full with the two male in the family.

This is one of my boy’s hot favourites and since he is not a rice eater, to me, potatoes are just fine since it is also carbohydrates.
