Homemade Brie Bacon Burger has lean ground beef, melted brie cheese and crispy bacon. Topped with a Mike’s Hot Honey drizzle, they are ready in under 30 minutes and make the perfect dinner.

Ingredient Notes and Health Benefits:

Lean Ground Beef: I buy this organic lean ground beef from Trader Joe’s. It has no antibiotics, no added hormones and is 100% grass fed. Lean ground beef is a fantastic source of protein.

Panko Bread Crumbs: Made from crustless bread, these bread crumbs are drier and flakier than others. They help hold the burgers together.

Eggs: A great source of lean protein, they also help hold the burgers together.

Worcestershire Sauce: A savoury and slightly spicy sauce, it adds so much flavor to this recipe.

Montreal Steak Spice: The perfect blend of spices for homemade burgers, it gives the patties so much flavor and a little spice.

Sriracha Garlic BBQ Sauce: From Trader Joe’s (I know you aren’t surprised) this BBQ sauce is one of my favorites. Lots of flavor and a little spice.

Mike’s Hot Honey: Sweet and a little spicy, this is one of my new favorite condiments. You can get it on their website by clicking here.

Montreal Steak Spice: The perfect blend of spices for homemade burgers, it gives the patties so much flavor and a little spice.

Worcestershire Sauce: A little spicy, savory and tangy, I love adding worcestershire to homemade burgers.

Russet Potatoes: One of my favorite types of potatoes for homemade fries. They are high in vitamin C, potassium, fiber and antioxidants.

How to Make Homemade Fries

First, cut potatoes into wedges and place in a large bowl. Cover them in water and soak for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375. Remove the potatoes from the water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Pour the potatoes back into a dry bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and stir to coat. Sprinkle seasonings on top, and stir again to coat potatoes. Place on a baking sheet, making sure that the potatoes are not overlapping. Cook in the oven at 375 for 20 minutes. Increase heat to 425 and cook for another 20 minutes. Remove from oven.

Steak Kabobs are one of my absolute favorite meals!  I am very blessed to live in sunny Arizona where it is grilling weather year-round.  I love pouring a nice glass of Pinot Noir, grilling and enjoying a beautiful desert evening.  These Kabobs are the perfect recipe to do just that!

Ingredient Notes:

Sirloin tips: I love using sirloin for kabobs and it’s even better when the store has sirloin tips, they’re pre-cut!  Purchasing a few sirloin steaks and cutting them yourself works well, too.

Bell peppers: I like using different colors cause not only do they make the kabobs look pretty but they also have slightly different flavors.

Red onion: I prefer red over other colors of onions for kabobs because they are a bit less harsh.

Marinating the Steak and Veggies:

Marinating these in advance make the kabobs so much more flavorful. Try to let them sit for at least an hour in the fridge, but ideally I would leave them in there over night if you can!  I absolutely love the marinade in this recipe.  The steak spice, worcestershire and garlic provide great spice and flavor.  The brown sugar and honey make slightly sweet and the dijon mustard makes it creamy. It’s just so yummy!

Soaking the Kabob Skewers:

If you are using wooden skewers, make sure you soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using them so they don’t catch fire when put on the grill. 

Grilling the Kabobs:

I like both my kabobs and steak medium rare, so I cook them for about 8 minutes on medium heat.  If you prefer them more well done, cook them for up to 12 minutes.
