I can tell it's almost Spring because the only thing on my mind is...  Hunt Applications!  I've already got Wyoming and part of my Arizona applications done and I have the credit card balances to prove it!  There's almost as much anticipation for the draw results to come out as there is for the hunt itself once you have the tags in hand.  I always have a few "for-sure" draws and a lot of "hey-a-guy-can-dream" applications so there's sure to be a fresh supply of burger this fall.  

The best thing about burger is the nearly endless number of meals ideas you can come up with.  This one falls under the "preparation idea" category.  There's not much to it but it's sure to be a hit.  

All you need is a pound of burger, a packet of seasoning, a little water, a 6 oz. can of tomato paste, buns, and cheese.

Brown and drain the burger.  I added garlic salt for a little extra flavor and to take some of the "sweet" out of the pre-mixed seasoning.

Once the burger is done, add the water, seasoning, and tomato paste. and simmer.

 

Meanwhile, toast the buns.  A little trick my wife taught me is to spread on a little mayo instead of butter.
