We had a summer filled with fun in the sun and bees! We literally had bees nesting every where. Then we saw on the news that there were other people having problems with bees as well. That is why so many people have to have a bee removal done to their property. They will take over if you are not careful and they can be dangerous. For us they started attacking anyone in the area. THey would fly after whom ever and sting them! It was very scary when you have young children that need to get past them. You could get several stings at one outing. We will never have that happen again we will call for a bee extermination San Diego the minute we see them starting to grow in numbers. If you live in San Diego then you can have a bee removal San Diego and not have to have the summer that we had.

Bacon and Banana Burger Recipe

1lb/500g ground beef
a little pepper, fresh ground is better
a little salt, none if the bacon is salty
1 hand fresh bread crumbs
1 egg lightly beaten
1 quarter beef bouillon/stock cube dissolved in 2 to 3 tablespoons water

To cover the Patty
8 strips or enough bacon to enclose 4 patties
some toothpicks

For the Rolls:
4 rolls
2 bananas
a little butter

Mix all the patty ingredients thoroughly, leaving the bacon for later.
Make sure the mixture is cool. Divide mixture into 4 equal balls and mold into patties .

Wrap the bacon around the patties entirely covering it in as thin a layer as possible and secure by either tucking the edges under or by using toothpicks.

Peel the 2 bananas and split each in half by cutting down the full length from top to bottom. You now have 4 long ‘half’ bananas. Cut these diagonally in half and you have 8 shorter pieces. Heat a pan and fry the bananas in a little butter over low to medium heat for a minute or two, turning, until heated through and softish in texture. Set aside.

Cook the bacon wrapped patties on medium heat under the grill, on the barbecue or in a pan (how to regulate cooking temperature) until the patty is cooked to your preferred degree of doneness or the internal temp reaches 160F/70C.

Split the rolls and toast the cut surfaces lightly just before the patties are done. Place 2 pieces of banana on each of the bottom halves. Remove the toothpicks and put the patties on top of the bananas and cover with the top halves of the rolls. I hope that you will enjoy this somewhat different bacon and banana burger.
