You guys!
It’s almost that time of the year! Two more weeks until the start of football season. Fans and tailgaters everywhere are getting excited.
Now, for those who don’t know, I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. . where they basically teach you how to throw a football, boy or girl, at a young age. I didn’t really enjoy playing sports of any kind until my college days where I only played for fun but I’m glad that I finally developed an appreciation for the game.
Now, I still enjoy watching the games . . I’m definitely not as into the games as my husband is but I can still watch with him. I’m more concerned about the food.
What do we have? Is there enough food for everyone? and if we have friends over watching the game with us, will they leave feeling happy and full?
Enter these glorious filet mignon steaks from
Now, I know you’re thinking filet mignon on a burger?! What? Even my dad’s jaw is on the floor right now. But stay with me for a second and think about it. If you’ve had filet mignon before, you know how tender, soft and flavorful the meat is, right? And I know some people wouldn’t dare put this meat on a burger. . but come on you guys. .
Caramelized onions, dijon mustard and a toasted brioche bun? Isn’t this just calling your name?
Paul says if we serve these burgers at our next party, no one is going home and they’ll keep wanting to come back for more. I hope he’s right!

Filet mignon burger! This is absolutely my kind of burger and all dudes in the house will appreciate if I make this for next gathering. Love every bite of it, especially that caramelized onions and arugula. Yum!

Oh, my good lord. I am really wanting steak now. At 6:30 A.M. Well played, Alice. Seriously, I don’t eat red meat that often, but when I do, I like to do it up. And these look AMAZING.
The best part of football season is the food, too. I mean, lots of meat and chips with dip and all that jazz. I love it!

My husband is so excited for football season, Alice! Even though I’m not much of a fan, I could definitely get into these burgers. Wow do these look good! Can’t wait to make them for game day!

This is the best burger ever Alice! There is part of me that wishes I was into football just for the food, but I think I can indulge in some game day eats without the game. Lol. The steak looks out of this world!

Hooray for football season — my very favorite time of year! It’s the food, or the game, or a combination of both! If I had these burgers, I’d be so happy I wouldn’t even care if my team lost. 🙂 They look that good! The flavors in those onions sound amazing! 🙂
