The L.A. Times had a great article recently about choosing less-expensive cuts of beef and cooking them to the point where they’re absolutely fabulous.
And in these tough economic times, it seems we’re all looking to save ourselves some dough — while still enjoying our favorite meals.
Check out the article here — and let me know what you think! If there’s one thing I just can’t sacrifice it’s my steak, man.
A girl’s gotta eat, right?

My beloved steaks are in the running, but take a look at what meal is the front runner. *Wink, wink* it’s one of my favorites, too!

I’m all for easy meals, so I took a gander. And this one really caught my eye . . .
FRENCH ONION BURGERS
1 pound ground beef
1 can (10 1/2 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed French Onion Soup
4 slice cheese
4 Pepperidge Farm® Classic Sandwich Buns with Sesame Seeds, split
Shape the beef into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) burgers.
Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook until well browned on both sides. Remove the burgers from the skillet. Pour off any fat.
Stir the soup in the skillet and heat to a boil. Return the burgers to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until desired doneness. Top the burgers with the cheese and cook until the cheese is melted. Serve the burgers on the buns with the soup mixture for dipping.
Serving Suggestion: Serve with romaine salad tossed with fresh basil and Italian salad dressing. For dessert, serve orange slices.
RECIPE TIPS
Tip: You can also serve these burgers in a bowl atop a mound of hot mashed potatoes, with some of the onion gravy poured over.
