How to Make a Smashburger at Home

EASY SMASHBURGERS

Listen – I’ve always just watched my husband make these and I realized it was time I took a whack at it. I also have learned a thing or two since filming this. Things like: you only need to press on the burger really hard for a second then remove the burger press- you don’t need to leave your hand there to fry like I did, lol. AND I didn’t season it enough. Go to town on it with kosher salt and pepper. ANYWAYS – This is the perfect quick weeknight dinner that your whole family will love. Hey- if I can do it, you can do it.

Where the magic happens

Elevated Canned Cinnamon Rolls 🥞 INGREDIENTS: 1 c Elevated Canned Cinnamon Rolls 🥞

INGREDIENTS:
1 can of (5) jumbo cinnamon rolls (any brand words, just needs to be the kind that unravels / is layered)
Heavy cream 
2-3 tbsp salted butter, melted
2-3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon (could also use pumpkin pie spice 😍)
1/2 tsp (to a tsp lol) vanilla 

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the cinnamon rolls in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Pour just enough heavy cream to cover the bottom of the dish, in between the rolls (around, not on top of). Combine melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla, then spoon over the top of each roll. Cover with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes. Add the icing (can make your own if you really want!) and serve immediately. You’re welcome! ;)
Fall 90s Movie + Couch Snack: Buffalo Butter Salti Fall 90s Movie + Couch Snack: Buffalo Butter Saltines with Mystic Pizza 🎥 🛋️ 

Have you ever made Franks Hot Sauce Butter, then marinated your saltines and crisped them up in the oven? Well, this is your sign if you haven’t. I was wanting to make something similar to the Franks Red Hot Goldfish collab but saltines with a little “Firecracker” (iykyk) twist. Hope you love these!

INGREDIENTS:
⅓ cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
5 tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled slightly
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Coarsely ground black pepper
1 sleeve Saltine crackers

In a liquid measuring cup, combine the Frank’s Red Hot sauce, butter, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and a few grinds of black pepper. Whisk until combined. 

Add butter mixture and crackers to a gallon sized resealable plastic bag. Seal and turn the bag over a few times to coat the crackers in the spicy butter. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning the bag occasionally. 

Preheat the oven to 300°F with a rack in the center position. On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange the crackers in a single layer. Season with pepper. Note: the saltines will be soggy and that’s ok! Just proceed carefully and if some break no biggie.

Bake for 30 minutes, rotating the sheet from front to back once, until the crackers are crisp. Cool completely. Serve immediately or keep in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days- if they last in your house that long!

#WalmartPartner I might not know who is playing bu #WalmartPartner I might not know who is playing but I DO know we’re putting a little brie + prosciutto on potato chips. 🏈

Brie, prosciutto, hot honey, and thyme bites, a cheesy pepper jelly dip, and apple cider… this is all that really matters to me. If you’re on snack duty too, try Sparky in the @walmart app for a little game day inspiration. Go sports.
