Maple Apple BBQ Chicken & Cheesy Veggies

The chicken was very moist and delicious, and I must admit that I was completely winging it on the cheese sauce, so I am portraying the recipe as to what I would do next time.  The taste was amazing, but the sauce should have been thicker.  Enjoy!

BBQ Chicken

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp Butter

4 Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless)

Seasoning (Hickory Balsamic, Barbecue, Crushed Rosemary)

1 Cup BBQ Sauce (I used Maple Apple)

1 Apple (Cored & Sliced)

Directions: 

Put the butter in a heavy bottom skillet.  Add the chicken and seasonings.  Cook thoroughly on both sides on med-high heat.  About 10-15 minutes.  Turn the heat down to Low and add the BBQ Sauce and the apply slices.  Simmer for about 5 minutes until the apples start to soften.  Serve and enjoy!

Cheesy Veggies

Ingredients

2 Cups Frozen or Fresh Veggies (use any kind you prefer)

1/2 Cup Sliced Cheddar Cheese

1/4 Cup Milk

Salt & Pepper (or you can use Alpine Touch)

Directions:

Boil the veggies on high until thawed or soft.  Strain the water out and turn the heat to low.  Add the remaining ingredients and stir until thoroughly mixed and cheese is melted.  Serve & enjoy!

Cheese-Stuffed Meatloaf Burgers

Another quick and delicious recipe :)

Ingredients:

1 lb Hamburger

1 Egg

1 1/2 pieces of bread (ripped into small pieces)

Cheese Cubed (I made 9 burgers so I had 9 cubes of cheddar and colby jack)

Seasoning (BBQ &Hickory Smoked Balsamic)

Pickles 

Ketchup (Whatever other accoutrements you prefer on your burger)

Hamburger Buns

Directions:

Combine the hamburger, Egg, Bread, and seasoning into a bowl.  Mix thoroughly with your hands to ensure complete mashing together of all ingredients.  Shape the mixture into hamburger rounds.  Make as many as you would like to eat and or have for leftovers.  Take the cubed cheese and smash one cube on the middle of each burger.  Reshape the burger around the cheese so that the cheese is in the middle of the burger.  Cook in a pan or on a grill and turn to get an even browning and melting of the cheese.  While cooking smash down to flatten a bit with your spatula.  Once the burger is cooked to your desired temperature, place on a bun and add your toppings.  Enjoy.
