Pan-Fried Onion Cheeseburger
I make this recipe for pan-fried onion cheeseburgers with caramelized onions and sharp Cheddar cheese. I serve the burgers on brioche buns and eat them plain. My hubby likes to add lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, and more fresh onions! With or without all of the toppings, they are delicious.
Basic Skillet Cake
This skillet cake recipe was given to me by a friend years ago and she told me she used it for her strawberry shortcake. It is absolutely heavenly and my niece loves to eat it plain. It is just a good basic recipe — only your imagination limits what you can do with it! It is just a good ole Southern recipe and super simple. Awesome with fresh strawberries.
