Food Thread: Stuffed Burgers: Because We Can [CBD]

stuffed burger1.jpg

There was a spirited chat recently about burgers -- I think "best toppings" was the original impetus -- but stuffing them came up in the conversation. Somebody suggesting making a compound butter, freezing it into a disk, and using that to stuff the burger. And that sounds pretty decadent and drippy and good. But plain old cheese works wonderfully, although I have found that shredding it beforehand makes it much more prone to melting then simply slapping a thick slice of cheese into the middle. Cheddar works well, and goat cheese is a damned fine choice too. The tanginess really goes well with the richness of the meat. I haven't tried brie yet, but it's on my list.

But there are lots of other things besides cheese to experiment with. Thin sliced jalapenos, sauteed onions. salami, foie gras, pulled pork....the list goes on and on.

My technique is pretty simple, but if any Morons have a surefire way to do it, speak up...don't be shy.

I make an eight ounce burger by default, so for stuffing one i will grab about five ounces of the ground beef, form it into an oversized patty, and simply sprinkle the stuffing in the middle, with a small margin around the perimeter. Then I form the remaining meat into a slightly smaller patty, slap it on top, and mold the edges together while I also knead it gently into the thickness I want. It sounds tougher than it is. I make sure that none of the stuffing is poking out the side....and that's it!

I love dishes that use herbs and spices in the foreground rather than the background. It's a tough thing to pull off, and they often don't work perfectly, but it's gutsy cooking, and should be recognized for that. Meatballs With Fried Sage Leaves, courtesy of Y-not is exactly what I mean. This sounds fantastic, and pretty straightforward too.
******

Making homemade yogurt is fairly easy. And if anyone has priced some of the really good Greek-style yogurts it is even more tempting. Just like Ricotta and Mozzarella, it's really just heating milk. I have made it a few times, although not for a very long time, but my recollection is that the end result was excellent.

Anyone make their own? How about Ricotta (it's easy!)? Mozzarella?

And speaking of turning milk into something yummy...remember the discussions about making ice cream? I bounced it off Moronette artisanal 'ette (who is quite a resource for anything remotely cooking oriented) and she said that she does in fact make ice cream, and even has two ice cream makers...both basic Cuisinarts. She also recommended Frozen Desserts from the Culinary Institute of America as a good cook book. And yes, these two desserts are straight from her kitchen.

So....no recipe this week...just a heads up on what's for dinner at Chez Dildo tomorrow.

I have lots of grape tomatoes, lots of goat cheese, lots of Parmesan, and lots of different pasta shapes. And most important, a healthy sense of frugality. So my plan is to cut the tomatoes in half, salt them so they give up some liquid (which I will reserve in case the end result is too dry), then saute them in butter until they get a little color. Toss them into a large pile of goat cheese (which is defined carefully for the purposes of the recipe as: The rest of the goat cheese in the refrigerator), and then toss that whole mess into hot pasta. I'll sprinkle enough Parmesan in to make my taste buds happy, a little cracked black pepper and a generous sprinkle of olive oil, and off to the table it goes.

Oh...what the hell. Here is a recipe from artisanal 'ette:

Garlic Broiled Chicken
1-2 servings.

1 / 2 tsp garlic, minced
1 Tbl fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 / 2 tsp sea salt (or any seasoned salt)
Fresh ground pepper
1 whole chicken breast, halved, skinned

Combine all ingredients and brush on the chicken while grilling. It's a basting sauce, so brush it on wildly.

This recipe is from Fit for Life (the oldest one), and the recipe was for broiling in the oven. I love it for grilling, tho.

This is so good. And very low in calories.

I have peaches too, and a slice atop the burger sounds like it might pair better than a tomato slice.

13 I have one ice cream recipe, and it's the only one I use. It's from Martha Stewart (yeah, yeah, yeah) and it involves boatloads of heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla beans. Costs a fortune to make but so good.

I have an old-fashioned kind of ice maker that you pack with rock salt and ice. Luckily, it's not so old-fashioned that you have to hand-crank it. It's electric. And may I say that the noise is deafening while it's running but the ice cream is to die for.

15 I like the occasional blue cheese burger.

Mrs928 used to make our yoghurt back when we had a gas oven with a pilot light. The pilot light keeps the oven at a perfect yoghurt making temperature. I think that all she did was to scald some low fat milk and they stir in some of the previous batch of yoghurt after it cooled.

21 A friend of the family made his own goat cheese, his first discovery was that commercial yoghurt is pasteurized to kill the yeast and make it more stable. He had to find another yeast source.

I think the greek stuff is still live, it at least turns into curds eventually.

I had instructions on using dry milk to make types of cheese as well, but I think I gave that book away. I still wonder if I should since I have started using greek yoghurt and buttermilk to cook with.

24 For years now I've been adding minced garlic, onion, and bread crumbs to my hamburger patties. The breadcrumbs help keep the lovely beef fat in the patties where it belongs, instead of spattering all over the stovetop or making sooty smoke in the barbecue.

The only time I tried adding cheese the patties became a gooey, fall-apart mess on the grill. Might be okay for pan-broiling, though.

Now that I have a grinder, I've been thinking about adding a little ground calf liver to my hamburger patties.

26 When it comes to cheese w burgers I prefer to melt on top. Offer 2-3 varieties and let them choose if they want it.

Lately I've been putting diced red peppers and onions into the ground beef with some Worcestershire. Makes for a really moist and kind of sweet burger.

29 Love to make ice cream. Google "New York Times Master Ice Cream Recipe" for lots of good tips. (Because it's from the New York Times, you can make ice cream knowing you're better and smarter and more well-informed than anybody else.) Seriously, the thing this article taught me about homemade ice cream is the importance of texture.

Egg yolks are the key to an ice cream's silky consistency. Also creme fraiche does wonders in chocolate ice cream to thicken the batch and cut against all the sugar.

Be careful what kind of chocolate you use. Chips meant for baking cookies often contain oils that mess up your texture.

My current favorite is a white chocolate mocha that I make using white chocolate, brewed coffee and kahlua.

Also if you like to mix in chunks of cookie or candy to your ice cream, best time to do this is by hand after you take it out of the cuisinart but before you put it in the freezer to harden. Adding cookies/candy while the cuisinart is mixing will just dissolve everything into tiny crumbs, which still tastes good but again it's probably not the texture want.

Final note, I am looking for a good mint ice cream recipe and do not trust what I've found on the web so far. Thanks.

Martha Stewart may not be a warm, friendly person, but 1) she did her time, and apparently was a huge help in the prison-they loved her and 2) her recipes are pretty awesome. Not all, but most.

Her entertaining cookbook and her pie cookbook saved my bacon when I had to give "smart" functions for work. I learned a lot about prepping and serving hors d'ouevres and cocktails from her books, since my family sure didn't do that growing up.

So I am not surprised her ice cream recipe is amazing-I'll have to look that up.

And if you like pie, her pie cookbook is excellent.

32 We use the Brod and Taylor bread and yogurt proofer to make Greek style yogurt. You can find it on the King Arthur Flour site and Amazon. Costs about 150.00 but it has worked well for over a year and is very controllable. We also use it to raise rye bread dough. Just considering what it has saved us over the cost of supermarket Greek yogurt it has probably paid for itself. It also has directions for doing home made kefir, which I love as a breakfast drink.

35 A couple of months ago I got an invite to try out a local casino's Italian restaurant. Hey, it was 'free'. The main course was spaghetti. Well, that's what they claimed it was anyhow. A bunch of pasta, with a fat meatball in the center, and a small amount of lightly seasoned tomato sauce. That was it. I even asked for extra sauce in a bowl; it didn't help.

Thus confirming my general opinion of eating out at Italian restaurants.

I made my own spaghetti sauce this early this am; insomnia has its uses. Much like CBD's plan, I cleaned out various parts of the pantry and freezer. Two year old hamburger? It'll be fine. Four year old home canned tomatoes? They smelled and tasted okay, so in they go. Dried oregano from the 90s? Don't be judgemental.

(I'll post the full ingredient list if anyone cares, though the only measuring device I used was the Mk-1 eyeball)

PS It's delicious. I've had two bowls and mom declared it 'perfect'. Of course, she declares everything I cook perfect...

42 That burger is undercooked. You can tell by the texture of the red part. While cooking a steak, a solid piece of muscle, to this temperature is my personal preference; rare hamburger is dangerous.
Cook to medium. You'll still get juicy burgers.

The only exception I would make is if you use a fresh whole piece of meat, grind it yourself and eat it the same day.

47 One of my kiddos this week asked me to cook pork belly-

so I used this recipe:


Slow Roasted Pork Belly by Gordon Ramsey

https://www.gordonramsay.com/gr/recipes/slow-

roasted-pork-belly/

(remove extra spaces)

and here's a video of the prep:

(yes, it is as stupidly easy as it looks. A top pre-requisite for recipes that I cook.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9biIOtEYeHc


The fatty part roasts above the soup while the rest of the meat braises in that lovely combination of spices and fennel and wine.

It tastes great. The fatty part all nice and crispy and the meat with a very light flavor that's sort of Sino-Italian. I suspect Marco Polo invented this dish.

If I had one thing I'd change, it's that Gordo salts his very heavily. Next time I fix it i"ll cut back on the salt.

51 Man, do I like food.

Ok, OT for a sec.

I finally found an affordable riding mower! It's a simplicity, 16 HP Briggs and Stratton engine, 38 inch cutting deck, and capable of using a number of various attachments, like snow blowers, plows, and the like.

Two hundred and fifty bucks!

New battery, starter solenoid, and it runs, and cuts like it was new. With one little teensy problem. No battery charge voltage. I checked the fuse and diode from the alternator, and they're both good. And that meant I had to tear the whole damn thing apart.

After some minor struggles in getting the flywheel off, I finally removed the alternator for closer inspection. One of the four coils that provide the 13.5 volt charge current is blackened, and burnt...shorted out, which means I'm getting just 10.5 volts from the remaining three coils. Since this is a dual power alternator, and that coil is shared with the A/C only half of the alternator, (which provides power for the lights), I can't simply swap from one half to the other.

So I'm in the process of chipping away at the epoxy they used in building this thing, and I'll re-wrap the bad coil, and save myself the 80 bucks it would cost to replace it.

So there.

Also, food is good. Eat more food.

They hold up against a juicy burger much better than a standard bun....my only complaint is in finding them big enough to accommodate a decent sized burger, with all the goodies. Onions, lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, cheese, bacon, mayo and mustard.

We usually just get those really nice, (and huge), onion rolls at Wally World...but, if they, (they being anyone), made english muffins sized for burgers, I'd buy, and use them.

We compensate for the smaller size of.the English muffins by making smaller , thicker patties and doubling them up.

I did! On the 16th! And I made the cake and IT WAS AWESOME!!!! Son wants it with cream cheese frosting for his birthday!

And I make lots of dairy-filled things for my family and friends, and I don't eat them. I enjoy it vicariously!!

72 The best ever pasta sauce is made by German ancestry, Wisconsin-raised Mrs. JTB. Slow cooked until it's thick and clings to the pasta so it flavors without drowning everything. We won't have enough of our own tomatoes to preserve this year, so she uses good canned tomatoes and dried herbs from our garden. Better than any sauce I've had at restaurants.

I looked at a few recipes for English Muffins, and they don't seem to be sourdoughy at all, but they do have egg and butter, so that extra richness may be the different flavor....

It's not going to hurt trump with his base one bit, may even help him (damn, the man gets some USDA prime, there). It will hurt him with the jealous old biddy type of woman, though. You know, the scold type who just hates hot women, and hates the reaction they provoke in us men even more.

The left, the hard core proggy types, I'm not exactly sure how they're going to handle this. On the one hand, you've got a "woman can do anything with her body she wants -- you can't judge!", but they hate Trump. So on the other hand, they may try some "she's a victim of the patriarchy exploiting women" angle. Or something.

83 A good sourdough is indeed, the King of all burger buns.

Lacking that, if your grocer carries the Oroweat "Crustini" variety, I cannot give it a strong enough endorsement, as to it's complete and utter superiority to all other store-bought burger buns.

And no, that's not hyperbole. If anything, it's an understatement.

Now, if only I could figure out how to get Oroweat to make a Sourdogh Crustini bun, I'd know with certainty what I'd ask for as a last meal at Huntsville.

Posted by: free range sort of conservative at July 31, 2016 05:09 PM (ZnIt3)



It's supposed to be a 3 amp circuit...but I have no idea what the fuse is rated at...it's sealed along with the diode under some heat shrink tubing. My rewiring project will include placing a 4 amp slow blow fuse in the circuit.

It's a shame this is a common problem....the alternator is a really simple device, and with just a little competent engineering, should last forever.

Your problem: Check the fuse/diode from the alternator. Disconnect the alternator from the battery, and check for voltage from the alternator while the engine is running, (at about half throttle). You should see about 13 volts.

Check the output of any voltage regulator your mower is equipped with.

Replace, or repair the failed components.

93 The buns sold as hamburger buns at the grocery are all nasty. Turn to mush in contact with meat, too sweet, no texture.

102 What I'd like with the rib roast, is likely just some good ol' stuff like cream-corn, and some other vegetables.

With all that was going on with my mother, we didn't get much of a garden in. Had a few rows of corn, but it got dry at the wrong time, and I've been begging corn from neighbors.

Anyway, I've found that is work cutting off corn. :-) But well worth it, when it's right. I don't like it all that sweet. I used to like field corn, but they've changed the breeding now with the hybrids. The "roastin' ear" stage is a very tight window, you can hardly get it unless you watch it, and they've changed the oil balance and all that and it doesn't taste too good anymore.

Hell, my father knows all the various varieties of "sweet corn". I need to learn that to know exactly what kind I like.

Anyway, cut it off just right, cook with bacon grease, and damn that goes with roast beef very well.

aww, I missed the Food Thread.

Here's a recipe I wanted to post this week:

Garlic Broiled Chicken
1-2 servings.

1 / 2 tsp garlic, minced
1 Tbl fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 / 2 tsp sea salt (or any seasoned salt)
Fresh ground pepper
1 whole chicken breast, halved, skinned

Combine all ingredients and brush on the chicken while grilling. It's a basting sauce, so brush it on wildly.

This recipe is from Fit for Life (the oldest one), and the recipe was for broiling in the oven. I love it for grilling, tho.

This is so good. And very low in calories.

121 When I do ribs, I do them in the oven first...for three hours at 325, wrapped in foil, and properly seasoned, before transferring to a hot grill.

But when grilling burgers, I set my grill up so I have a 'hot' side, and a 'cool' side. Raw burgers go on the cool side for about ten minutes, which allows me ample time for smoking, then transfer to the hot side for finishing. Charcoal, not gas. I really have to keep an eye on the temps though...there is nothing worse than an overdone burger.

I've also discovered that it makes a huge difference in starting from room temperature meat, or meat right from the fridge. I don't think the FDA would approve, but I let my raw burger come to room temperature before I start cooking it. It makes a big difference.

Lauren, I don't have a recipe for you, but do you have any Asian or international food stores near you? I'll bet they would have some good stuff at prices far lower than Whole Foods.

135 From one of the Frugal Gourmet's cookbooks, I had a recipe for hamburger patties that was very good and full of flavor - Channing's Greek hamburgers
1 1/2 lb. lean hamburger
2 tbsp. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp. red wine (dry burgundy type)
2 tsp. oregano
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Fried onions for topping
Lettuce
Sliced tomatoes
Mix the hamburger with the following 6 ingredients. Cook as per your favorite method and top with fried onions on a toasted bun. We always add lettuce and tomatoes. Go easy on the mayonnaise, mustard, or relish. Makes 6 hamburgers.

My daughter and I have been dieting and exercising so much of late that our appetites are falling off - you know, once you are sated, don't eat another bite - and we are no longer equal to a full-sized quarter-pounder any more. I've started to do sliders, instead - currently, two sliders with patties made in the Yumms Burger press are sufficient for a meal.

136 Dr. Jill Biden sometime puts the paste right in the middle of the burger before she grills it. Great for guys like me who love paste, but don't always want to eat it right out of the jar.

True story..... The night before we left Hong Kong, we went to the Jumbo Palace Floating Restaurant. There were about 20 of us and we had the Mac daddy meal. Our table was just beyond the kitchen doors and the smells coming from there were beyond amazing. It was some spicy greatness.

And everyone in the berthing area paid for it the next day. Bwahahahhahahahaha

Um:

1 egg
1 cup of veggie oil
4 tsp vinegar
1 tsp mustard
salt

Mix the egg and mustard. Then while mixing, add the oil slowly, mix thoroughly. Then add the vinegar. Mix until smooth. Taste for seasoning.

Keeps for a day or 2.

Posted by: weft cut-loop at July 31, 2016 05:40 PM (8GNw0)



I have a plunge blender, specifically for making my own mayo.

The only changes to your recipe I would suggest would be yolks, not whole eggs, and make sure the yolks, and oil are at the same temp...drizzle oil into yolks while mixing. Stop drizzling oil when your concoction looks like mayo.

141 I recommend mesophilic yogurt culture. Instead of needing to heat the milk it just goes on the counter at room temp until it thickens. Much more convenient. It doesn't get as thick as thermophilic and is slightly tangy, but a good choice for those who don't want to worry about getting everything exactly right.

Posted by: Polliwog the 'Ette at July 31, 2016 05:48 PM (xoTYj)

142 Publius, a roast, prime rib or other, is easy. Do yourself a favor and get a digital probe thermometer. Takes the guesswork out. Salt, pepper, and rosemary for the rub and roast at 350 till it hits 120. Carryover heat can be 10 degrees or more depending on the size of the roast.

Damn, now I want roast beef and all I have is chicken.

143 Oh, and I'll just throw out this tidbit to sow some typical Horde-ish mayhem, confusion and turmoil into the mix.

Found a small Filipino grocer not too far from Ellington Field. I mean, shelves full of stuff right from Luzon's finest grocers or Olongapo's seediest sac-n-pacs. Could be either, I'd have no way of knowing.

Growing up a west coast Navy brat, I gained an early, but basic and totally un-knowledgeable appreciation for some Filipino fare. Especially the various pork and chicken dishes.

But of course, I'm utterly ignorant of how to make 'em, what to buy, seasonings, mixes, etc.

Any Moron or 'Ette out here with some knowledge in that arena, do feel free to drop me a note? Email as always, is in my nic.

154 135 ... Sgt. Mom, Thanks for mentioning the Greek burger in the Frugal Gourmet book. We still have all of his cook books and there are some really good recipes in them. His Boston baked beans recipe is excellent.

We're watching carbs these days so won't use a bun. But putting the burger on top of some home made hummus sounds interesting.

155 Kenji at SeriousEats recommends only salting the outside of homemade hamburger patties.

Adding salt *into* the mix tends to make it more 'cake-like'. Adding to the outside only tends to get a better crust.

Sweet corn is exceptional this year. I found a new (to me) way to cook it and I LOVE it.

Throw it in the microwave. Don't need to soak it first,just 8 minutes in ours for 4 ears,comes out perfect.

Husking it is just as easy,you cut the cob end about an inch up the ear, grab the tassel end,wiggle and squeeze simultaneously and the ear slides right out the husk with NO silk hanging on.

Just use oven mitts or some such, it's really hot.

Naturally, I was headed back at rush hour. A Chinese man next to me had his face at bosom height, and sure enough, the crowds pushed him straight into my chest. He smiled for the two metro stops I had to stay on, until I couldn't take it anymore, and got out and waited until rush hour was over. I hope he still has happy thoughts of that day.

223 Awww, you are making me blush.

But...I'm tall, about 5ft 8, and have big Texas blond hair. In Hong Kong, that stands out a bit. So one day, after work, I took the metro down to Kowloon to shop. Naturally, I was headed back at rush hour. A Chinese man next to me had his face at bosom height, and sure enough, the crowds pushed him straight into my chest. He smiled for the two metro stops I had to stay on, until I couldn't take it anymore, and got out and waited until rush hour was over. I hope he still has happy thoughts of that day.

TH#1: Moki of Ace of Spades involved with Hong Kong grope incident on subway! How long until Mr. "Ace", who is a coward who will not release his real name, will have to disavow this prominent commentor, Bob?

Bob: I think this just gets to the hypocrisy at the heart of the Republican party, Neil. They talk a good game about being the party of "Family values" but when it comes down to it, how many are not involved in something like this.

Neil: Is this the end for "Ace"'s blog?

Bob: It should and I think will be.

I see there is a Flight Attendant standing in the center of the car, looking at her phone and not paying attention. Her back was to me. We come in hot to a station and the train applies the brakes pretty heavily.

Sure enough, she's backpedaling towards me. I put my hands out to stop her. She decides to get turned around facing me to break her fall. I wind up with two handfuls of her chest. I'm not sure which of us was more embarassed.

Stuff the burger with a green chile that is itself stuffed with cheese. Then wedge that burger between two slabs of roasted pepper, and serve on a bun flecked with cheddar and jalapenos.

Do you like Christmas fruitcake? Personally, I dislike mince and fruitcake for similar reasons: too sweet, and overuse of spices.

There's a short story about how I learned the difference between t and T in a handwritten recipe, for spice cake. Blew my tastebuds out, that one bite did.

I dislike fruitcake for the texture changes within the thing. I do not like digging into something that is hardish and then hitting the fruit, which is soft. Same problem with raisins in cookies or fruit in ice cream.

312 Yo, CBD, here's a tip for quickly cutting those grape (or cherry) tomatoes in half: grab two plates that match (luncheon or dinner size). Place one plate on the counter and pour on the tomatoes. Now, take plate number two and gently sit in on top of the tomatoes. With a serrated knife, saw back and forth between the plates, from the right side to the left side (or vice versa). Voila! Multitudes of sliced grape tomatoes! Credit goes to a TV cooking show; tried it and it works wonderfully. Your plates should not be too deeply dished or you will not be able to move the knife freely.

I've been known to eat that stuff for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It takes a little getting used to, because most people's taste buds (including mine) are used to meat having a savory taste, but this has a little more sweetness. I make it with cider, apples, a chopped cheap cut of meat, raisins, spices, and a spoonful of brown sugar. Sooo good.

334 Found a good sale on Portabello mushrooms last week, so decided to imitate, loosely, the pre-packaged stuff we've had before:

This is highly adaptable to your cooking times, temps, and taste in seasonings:

Wash and trim, then smear 4 mushrooms with olive oil. Place stem-side-up on nonstick foil (or use spray on regular foil?) and put a few little pieces of butter, about 1 teaspoon total per mushroom. Add a pinch of grated parmesan and a little sprinkle of garlic salt to each, and set aside.

Finely chop about a cup of cleaned spinach and mix it with a tablespoon of dried italian seasoning, divide into fourths and pack it gently onto the mushrooms.

Gently pack a tablespoon (or so) of mozzarella cheese on top of the spinach and sprinkle with paprika.

Add a teaspoon of water to each package.

Fold the foil closed, leaving plenty of air space at top so cheese doesn't stick to the foil and to allow buildup of steam.

Bake (indoors or out!) at 350--400 degrees for about 20 minutes, then let sit for 5 min or so before opening.

Have fun adapting it, and enjoy!

When I was a kid, back in the '70s, there was this gal that used to strut in church. Let's see, she was one of a big family, a bunch of kids, mostly girls. She'd been married and was divorced, which was still quite the scandal with the older women (and men) at the time. Including my paternal grandmother, who was sort of queen bee at the church.

I was too young to really understand, nor appreciate it (in my memory, this gal cut quite a nice figure). She would always show up late, and enter the sanctuary when most everyone had sat down and settled in. And here she'd come in, dressed to the nines, with form fitting skirts and all that, usually some hat of some sort. She'd do a strut down the aisle to sit in a pew close to the front.

Again, I was too young to appreciate it at the time. But the men had those silly grins, trying to hide it, on their faces, and the women were shooting her daggers out of their eyes.

Playing around at my grandmother's during that time, she'd get on the phone in the afternoon and talk with all her biddy friends, and I heard her say "whore!" in talking about that gal. Anyway, they were getting ready to run her out. I don't remember the details, but I think someone did have a talking to with her, pissed her off and some broohahhah ensued.

But I was too young to get in on all the talk.

As far as the chicken recipe, we leave the skin on if we have chicken with skin to begin with. We crisp them first on the grill, then baste.

379 While I prefer the sublime nuttiness of wild rice and the ethereal flaky white sweetness of a walleye pike filet as my home state's of Minnesota's culinary contributions to the world. the invention of the juicy lucy burger. a sandwich with the melted cheese on the inside, does have its charms.

The Juicy Lulu ain't bad either. That is a patty of breakfast sausage stuffed with American cheese, sandwiched between an English
muffin. Southerners might prefer it smothered with a ladle of sausage gravy, .

380 Final note, I am looking for a good mint ice cream recipe and do not trust what I've found on the web so far. Thanks.

One of the ice cream books I grab the most is The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz.

I don't have time to review the recipes for Mint, but there are a lot listed that have some sort of mint in them.

Here's the list:

Chocolate Mint Ice Cream
Fresh Mint Ice Cream
Good Scout Ice Cream Sandwiches
Green Pea Ice Cream
Mojito Granita

and, Mix In recipes
Peppermint Brownies
Peppermint Patties

383 I thought a Turducken was a duck stuffed with a chicken stuffed inside a reporter with a decent rack, who used to bang Keith Olberman, and who needs to be quiet.


Keith is kinda cute, but we've never been in a relationship together. But thanks for the kind words about my physique, I think!

387 Burger stuffing - hot peppers and/or pimentos stand up to the heat and retain their flavor.

Plus add some cheese, of course.

388 Tex-Mex burger:

mix your hamburger with plain ol' taco seasoning you buy in the package, stuff the middle with a mixture of cheese, chopped cilantro, sauteed onions and bell peppers, top with lettuce and tomato (sliced jalapeno's or other hot peppers if you crave the heat like I do)

yummy

389 Don't have any connection with the company other that being a satisfied customer but my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker makes making yoghurt exceptionally easy and very tasty.
