So I mentioned before that when Doug was out of town I used to eat eggplant, something he didn't care for. Now he likes it so I have veggie burgers. I love these things!
Trouble was, I forgot we were out of conventional bread so I adapted by using a French loaf I'd baked earlier in the week. I just toasted the bread and that came out well. Then I discovered I was out of cheese. Hmmmmmm.........obviously I did not plan well.
As luck would have it there was a container with leftover cheese grits. Why not.
Just layer up the toppings I like, loads of tomato. Oh yeah, we didn't have lettuce either. We need to go grocery shopping! the plus side is, it was economical and I cleaned out the fridge.
It's not often I am out of so many key ingredients for a dish but I have to say, once I am home, I don't like running back out unless it's absolutely necessary! I missed linking up with Deb last Sunday but I wanted to be sure to join in for this week. Hoping to have a more elegant offering next week :-)
I'm linking up my weird dinner with Deb at Kahakai Kitchen for her Souper Sunday series. Click HERE to see Deb's Asparagus Soup with Herbed Goat Cheese. Definitely a classier headliner :-)
I haven't had a veggie burger in a while and now I'm craving one. I got the big eyes and lol'd when I saw you added cheese grits. But then I've made some really weird stuff before and it tasted good.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't say whether you like it or not, or did I miss that part?
Your imagination is obviously quite active! But burger toppings are a challenge to everyone's creativity, and I've seen weirder!

Vicki, I did like it! Since the grits had been in the fridge they were easily mashed into the burger. I would do it again, although I would have preferred a slice of Swiss or cheddar.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mae! We live just far enough away from a grocery store that I wasn’t about to head out for bread and cheese. Poor planning on my part but I can adapt:-)
I think it looks pretty tasty. Great ingenuity! Do you have a favorite brand of veggie burger?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it with Souper Sundays this week. ;-)
I like veggie burgers okay but I'm not sure I could handle the cheese grits topping! But then I'm not a big grits fan in the first place. It's funny that we have food for when our husbands are away. I'm the exact same way! Right now I'm on a chicken salad kick.
ReplyDeleteI think anything that tastes good to you will taste good on a burger. I hate when you are making something and realize you don't have all the ingredients. Good save on your part
