Bleu Cheese & Jalapeno, Swiss Cheeseburgers :D mmmm, fatty...

-3 large japs, gut the membranes+seeds if you're OGorman
-1 pound fatty beef, 80%/20% is as fatty as they'll grind up at the store :(
-4 oz. package crumbled bleu cheese
-1 Tbsp onion powder
-1 Tbsp garlic powder
-1 Tbsp soy sauce
-1 Tsp salt, a Tbsp if you prefer sudden heart attacks

For later:
-2 slices cheese, swiss
-2 big phatty buns, Kaiser rolls have worked well before

dice, mix, knead, form into 2

get briquettes going

now for most important step:
fix a makers mark & rocks, rum & coke, or whatever tickles your fancy, this is key!

grill, toss cheese on top, melt cheese, toss on kaiser roll, toss on condiments

fix another makers mark & rocks, rum & coke, or whatever tickles your fancy.

enjoy, while Derrick Johnson knocks Drew Bledsoe into the turf, or whichever game your local CBS affiliate may be carrying :)

Replace the crumbled bleu with feta, the swiss w/ sharp provolone, add some sauteed 'shrooms, grilled onions, horseradish mustard that would bring down a baby rhino, and a bottle of Allagash Curieux (http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/allagash-curieux/38037/) and you've got something to work with.

I'm with you on that, boss. I'm not picky, but a 5-way is my preference.

Ank, not a bad recipe. BTW, if you don't like the grind in the store, get a chuck 'steak' and grind it yerself in a food processor. That's what I do for real chili.

Drove past the defunct PPIR on my way to drinks in Pueblo tonight. Bwahahaha... :laugh:

The ank-burger looks yummy coming from a snowgoter engaged to a vegetarian while the Skyline photos are great considering my Cincy livin' grandma sends me pallets a year of Skyline cans.

Fortunately, there's a horde of Indianer and Ohier folk out here who are more than happy to take a couple cans of Skyline home with them after a night o drinkin'. We do our part to keep the Porkopolis profitable and grandma feeling useful. :thumbup:

Keep your bacon off of my filet mignon, keep your spices off of my sirloin (Outback), keep your Kraft Itailian marinade off of my ribeye (mother in law), keep your onion soups mix out of my ground beef, and keep your A1 away from all of them (is your steak so bad I need sauce to cover it up?)

Kinda OT but, at the request of my wife, I got a free-range, hormone free, etc.. Turkey to fry for Thanksgiving this year. It just didn't taste 'right' to us. I suspect it actually is what turkey is supposed to taste like compared to the usual Butterball but we really didn't enjoy it as well.

K, I tain't no vegetarian, but there is something I like to grill now and then with the steaks and such, and it would classify as whatcha lookin for.

Very simple - and good. Grab 3 or 4 Portobello mushrooms (or how many you want). Clean and cut stems off. Coat with good olive oil (or use an infused oil if you so prefer) - sprinkle on some sea salt, cracked black pepper, dry oregano and red chili flakes. Place on a grill or under a broiler and cook till softened. In the last couple minutes or so - if you so choose - place a little goat cheese on top and let it melt. Slice into thin strips, or eat whole.

Bingo. No preservatives, no hormones, no force-feeding, no unsanitary processing plant, etc. I'm not going to tell you it'll taste better to you - you like what you like- but the beef I get (directly from the farm) definitely tastes different from what you buy at the store, even the 'organic' brands.

I do something similar: baby 'bellas, peppers (usually bell, but any will work), sweet onions (Vidalia preferably), and artichoke hearts. Marinate in basil-infused olive oil, balsamic vinegar, black pepper, sea salt & garlic for an hour or two, skewer 'em up then throw on the grill 'til the onions are blackened. Great with a steak, but pretty good on its own too.

I have seen AB before and am always amazed at how good he makes the food sound, and how easy it appears.

Regarding the ketchup and the steak, the sad part is, I'm the cook in the family. My mother considers salt and pepper flavorful enough for anyone, while my father's idea of cooking is to throw pepper flakes into anything. I like reading about cooking from you folks here.

<-------- Any idiot can handle this one ... one of my favorites in the winter. Here's what you'll need:

One of those long Bridgford pepperoni sticks ... I may be out of my gourd, but I think they're 23 oz. Do not, under any circumstances, buy sliced pepperoni; you'll be sorry. Fresh pepperoni from your deli/meatcutter will of course work as well.
Two large baking potatoes, coarsely chopped
One white onion, coarsely chopped
One quarter head of fresh cabbage, coarsely chopped
One 16 oz. bag of frozen shoepeg corn
One 16 oz. bag of whatever other frozen vegetable you're into (carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.)
One quart of tomato juice

Slice the pepperoni into fairly thick slices, roughly a quarter inch or a bit more. Boil 2 quarts of water in a 5-quart saucepan; when you get a rolling boil, add the pepperoni and let 'em swim for about five minutes. After that, add everything else and let it simmer for 45 minutes. Add salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika to taste. Makes between 4 and 5 quarts, and is a great reheater if you need something quick. Add a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich and you're all set. :thumbup:

(vancouver, if you are a [my word] "militant" vegetarian, I would advise you against reading anything food-related on oc. Pretty positive that the topic will involve seared dead animal flesh at some point. The OC term for vegetarian food is "side dish". Oh, and welcome to OC!)

why do meatpackers only test the meat going out to their fast-food customers who test their incoming product themselves, and not the meat that goes to the general public...

meatpacking in places like CO and NE is just as dirty as it always was... well maybe a few notches better, you have to think that 90+ years later they'd have achieved *something*

no, halal meat does taste amazing...Why, exactly?

From my uninformed knowledge, Hal'al meat is the same as any other, it's just prayed over, slaughtered with a knife, and bled out. How is that different from the bolt to the head and bled out?

Does hal'al meat get fed differently?

I'm trying to learn here. I may be having a dinner party with my neighbor/friend/co-worker, who eats only Hal'al (or the other - starts with a z i think).

well, maybe it just coincidentally happened to be halal as well, but went with my Paki buddy to his butcher, the cow chopped up at his place apparently had the 5 star treatment while still living, no steroids, etc...

http://www.soundvision.com/info/halalhealthy/halal.kosher.asp

Halal is a comprehensive Islamic term encompassing not only the matters of food and drink, but all other matters of daily life.

http://www.tahira.com/web/certification.htm

Throughout the cycle of raising of livestock for human consumption, the utmost courtesy and respect towards the animal is obligatory.

I think that's the part that mandates the animal be able to get regular exercise, have a reasonable amount of space to live in, only vegetarian & organic feed, no steroids, etc... instead of being stuffed into a pen with 0823480320423 others head to toe and shot up full of chemicals...

halal encompases the whole life-cycle not just the slaughter... and they can't slaughter any animal they think isn't completely healthy either.

another one I found:http://macdonald.hartsem.edu/mattsonart2.htm


At the same time, the Qur’an and the Prophet Muhammad restricted the way animals can be killed for consumption and the kinds and amounts of meat that can be consumed.

During their lives, animals must be treated kindly and with dignity; among the practices explicitly forbidden by the Prophet Muhammad are the castration of animals, branding or striking animals on the face, loading them with very heavy burdens, cutting off a piece of flesh from a live animal, separating baby animals from their mothers and delaying the milking of animals to the point that their udders become uncomfortably full. If animals are to be killed for food, many rules to prevent the suffering of the animals must be observed. When the Prophet Muhammad observed a man sharpening his knife in the presence of an animal he said, “Do you want to inflict death on the animal twice—once by sharpening the knife in its sight and once by cutting its throat?”[5] Thus, conscious effort should be made to shield the animal from any fear that it will be harmed.
