Ground Beef in Potato Bowls

Ground Beef in Potato Bowls - jim Young “The recipe you’re guaranteed to like, even if you don’t like it.” Ground Beef in Potato Bowls To be honest, I didn’t care much for this recipe when I first tried it. Hey, if McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski didn’t care much for McDonald’s Big Arch burger then no one can tell me I have to like all of my recipes either. But that doesn’t mean nobody’s gonna like the Big Arch burger and it doesn’t mean that nobody’s gonna like these Ground Beef In Potato Bowls either. In fact, I predict “you’re going to like this recipe, even if you don’t like it.” That may be an oxymoron but I assure you that I am not a moron on oxy. Let me explain. There are three main parts to this recipe consisting of  a) the potato bowl,  b) the meat stuffing and  c) cheese. Chances are pretty good that you like them all. So even if you don’t particularly care for this recipe exactly as shown below, there is plenty of opportunity to make this recipe your own and...

  Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker Review - jim Young This is really more of an appliance review than a recipe, but it can be used to make a variety of Breakfast Sandwiches. I love McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches but the nearest McDonald’s to me is over an hour away.

The Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker As a writer, I like to get up between 5:00 am and 6:00 am and I don’t want to spend too much time making breakfast so I decided to give the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker a try. I have to admit after reading some of the reviews, I was skeptical. Unpacking the sandwich maker and seeing how loose the parts were did nothing to diminish my fears. However after a couple of weeks of use, my initial fears were quickly alleviated. I only experienced a small amount of leakage from the top once but that was when I decided to try putting the chee...

  Meme Debunked - Not Our War - jim Young Europe DIDN’T “forget real quick” and neither did Canada. It is Maga that so often conveniently forgets their own history. When Germany invaded Poland in September 1939 setting off World War II, Britain & France were the first to respond on September 3. Canada declared war on Germany nine days later on September 10. President Roosevelt, (a Democrat) was personally in favour of supporting the Allies in World War II from the start but 94% of the U.S. population believed it wasn’t their war - until it was. Onl December 8, 1941 Japan bombed Pearl Harbour and the United States was FORCED to enter the theater of warI. Germany and Italy also declared war on the U.S. just 3 days later. The U.S. participation in World War II did not begin until over 2 years after the war had begun and only because THEY were personally under attack. It should also be noted that NO leader of any of the Allied Countries ever once looked back and said “we never ...
