Jackburgers
Cooking with whiskeys and bourbons seems to be all the rage these days. Most of it, though, even in Burgerland, seems to be sauce-based flavorings – make a regular burger and put a Jack Daniels BBQ sauce on it, for…
Deep-fried Meatballs!!1!
You heard me right. Meatballs. Deep-fried. What I didn’t mention is that cheese is involved too. After all, this is an Italian-inspired dish – at least as far as the flavors go. Most people just look at me funny though….
Fry All the Things! (Italian-style Fried Steak)
Yesterday I put my deep-fryer to good use. I’d made some appetizer-like things since I bought it last week, but I hadn’t really, really done anything with it. Let me set up the scene for you – It’s Saturday night,…
Bacon-Swiss-Mushroom Burger
Sometimes, out of desperation comes greatness. Battles are fought, wars are won, Burgers are made. And, Costco can be avoided for another day. Along this vein we tread perilously today. Options are few, danger is great. But, we must eat….

Hamburger Stroganoff, aka “The Gray Glop”
This is a classic “stuff on noodles” Southern like mama used to make, and a family favorite. It serves 6 and change, but can easily be cut in half for 3-4 and leftovers.
Santa Maria-style Tri-Tip
I came across a couple references of how the vaqueros (Mexican cowboys) were given the tri-tip of the cow to eat since it wasn’t a desirable cut at the time. They’d often cook it on a spit and serve a…
Caprese Burger
Sadly, a glitch occured in the matrix, and I lost a couple of recipes – including this one. So, here it is, redux-style. Like a phoenixburger, it shall rise from its ashes… This was a peculiar flash of inspiration –…
