Bourbon and Brown Sugar Caramelized Onions

Ingredients:

  • 3 Medium Yellow Onions, chopped

  • 3 Teaspoons Brown Sugar (1 tsp per onion)

  • 1/2 Cup of Bourbon

  • 2 Tablespoons Butter

  • Salt and Pepper to taste

  • 2 Tablespoons of neutral Cooking Oil

Directions:

  1. Chop the onions into pieces no smaller than 1/4 inch and no larger 1/2 inch. These will reduce in size as they are cooked.

  2. Heat up large pan on medium and add the oil when hot.

  3. Add the onions, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix all the ingredients together.

  4. Let the onions cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, they’ll become opaque.

  5. Add the butter and brown sugar, cook for another 10-15 minutes, again stir occasionally making sure all components are thoroughly blended.

  6. Add the bourbon last, let it reduce until only the glazed onions are left in the pan.

  7. Remove and enjoy. Store what is leftover in the fridge.

The Bentley Burger

Yesterday was National Cheeseburger Day so I made a trip out to Salmichs in Norfolk, VA to celebrate. I’ve heard only good things about the place, I figured my introduction to the shop would be done right grabbing one of their burgers. The one that caught my eye was a 1/2 LB patty topped with cheesesteak - The Bentley Burger.

I don’t normally mix my sandwiches but this one actually worked out deliciously. 10/10 would recommend.

We’re lucky that Geordie, our daughter’s fiancé, knows how to make cocktails! He figured out how to make orange and lime crushed after an outing to one of my fav spots.
