Rainy and Nasty this last weekend....what to do????

Well if you are like me-which I can hear many people saying..there is no one like you Becky!

Anyhow, when it is nasty outside and I really don't feel like doing much else-the Food Channel is turned on. My luck Triple D was on which is one of my favorites. I am not sure where he was but they made this Bacon and Blue Cheese Burger which looked amazing.

Frank and I tried our hand at it last night. For 4 people you need 1 pound of burger, 8 pieces of bacon and about a 1/2 to 3/4 cup blue cheese. The surprise item that you need is 4 large mouth jar rings!

Arrange the 4 rings on a cookie sheet like it would be positioned on a jar-the lip on the top. Cut 2 strips of bacon per burger into small pieces and press into the ring. Next top it is blue cheese to essentially cover the bacon-press tightly.

Slowly remove ring and then form a 1/4 pound seasoned burger over the bacon/blue cheese, pressing gently to mold them together.

Refrigerate for a couple of hours. Then either in a fry pan or on a blackening pan on the grill-get the pan screaming hot and put bacon side down and fry until crisp-most of the cooking of the burger will be done on this first side as you need to be sure everything holds together.

Flip and fry until burger is your desired doneness.

I have to say I have created lots of burgers over the years but this one has to be the most unique and it is made with stuff I use all the time-you just gotta try it. Why not this weekend for Memorial Day!

Enjoy
