Get ready to devour these tiny BBQ Burger Bites! They’re mini burgers that are filled with bbq sauce, onion, cheese and bacon all in a golden and crispy crescent cup. BONUS – it’s just 6 simple ingredients!
We’ve been living up in Canada for a little over a year now. It’s been a great experience, but there are still lots of things that I really truly miss from living in the States.
I’m going to say the #1 thing I miss are decent places to eat out.
Maybe it’s because I look at gorgeous picture of food all day, or the fact that food is my life, but I can’t help but feel deprived of a decent dining out experience every time my husband and I venture out for a date night.
This last weekend was an experience that tops them all.
Let me just tell you some things you can expect when eating out here:
1. You wait FOREVER.
Whether it’s to have your order taken, have your food served to you, or to even pay your bill… expect long delays.
2. Even though they offer free refills, don’t expect to ever get your cup refilled.
I can’t tell you how true this is across the board. Every restaurant my husband and I go to we have to sip our drinks because our server will either never come back for our entire meal, or offer a refill and just never bring one. #thirsty
3. Expect to pay top dollar for sub-par food.
I get it. I live in a small, desolate town. Prices are high to make up for lack of consumers. Or is the lack of consumers because the food is dismal? Look, I may be a little more attune with what good food is than your average bear, but I’m pretty sure anyone with eyeballs would agree with me.
You first eat with your eyes, and if your French Onion Soup comes out to you looking like this –
Your eyeballs will throw up.
I literally laughed when our server brought this out to me. For sure thinking some cameras would pop out from behind the dusty curtains and surprise me. Nope. That brownie looking thing floating in that murky cup was my french onion soup.
I couldn’t touch it. My husband took a bite and said it didn’t taste that bad, but I just couldn’t.
Does that make me a food snob? Am I a horrible person for not wanting to eat something that looks like someone had an accident in a cup?
I kid you not, my husband and I got in an argument over this.
He thought I was over reacting to the whole situation!
Over reacting would have been if I would have requested the “chef” to come out and take a look at the monstrosity that he served me, look at him straight in the face and said, “REALLY?!?!”
That didn’t happen. I just couldn’t stop laughing, and I think that probably made the server uncomfortable, but that soup was making me uncomfortable so I think we were even.
My only saving grace was that I had made these BBQ Burger Bites earlier in the day and appropriately stuffed half of the platter in my face.
These little bites are absolutely delicious, plus they’re so simple to make you’ll be shocked!
Let your eyeballs feast on these bad boys.
