This burger is the best burger I have made! It is sweet from the caramelized pineapple and hot from the jalapeño not to mention the bacon! I don’t think it gets much better than this burger! Jim (Mr. MCYM) not only ate this for dinner… but also for breakfast the next morning!

Makes four burgers

 

 

INGREDIENTS
1 pound ground beef
Jarred Jalapeños
8 slices of thick cooked bacon
4 fresh pineapple rings
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
salt
pepper
4 slices of white american cheese
1/2 cup mayo
3 Tablespoons of Franks red hot sweet chili sauce
Your favorite hamburger buns

DIRECTIONS
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
To make the caramelized pineapple, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, add pineapple and cook until slightly golden. It took mine about ten minutes. Mix ground beef with salt and pepper and one tablespoon of the sweet chili sauce. Mix mayo and 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce.

Grill your burgers until desired doneness adding cheese at the end to melt. Place burger on top of the bottom of your favorite burger bun (toasted or not). Add your caramelized pineapple, add a few or however many you want of the jarred jalapeños and top with bacon. Add the mayo mixture to the top bun and place on top of your burger!

Enjoy,

We made this steak for some friends we had over and it was terrific despite my grill master.  “MR. MCYM”  was not as attentive to the grill as he usually is and overcooked the steak , so with that being said the flavor of the sauce was the star.  We all still really enjoyed the shoe leather , ahh, I mean steak!  I let my steak marinate for 24 hours.

 

 

 

INGREDIENTS
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves crushed
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Pounds skirt steak

DIRECTIONS
Whisk together molasses, dijon, garlic, Worcestershire, and olive oil. Reserve 1/3 cup of marinade, set aside.
Pour the remaining marinade over steak and let marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. When ready to grill, preheat your grill and grill to desired doneness. I hope you don’t hit shoe leather stage!

Enjoy,

imageimageThis has been our favorite macaroni salad so far this grilling season. I brought it to a Memorial Day barbecue we attended.  I also made it for a gathering we hosted and it was a favorite on  BOTH occasions!  This is NOT a healthy salad by any means it actually a “wear your stretch pants” kind of recipe!!  I know you are going to enjoy it as much as we do.  It has a ton of flavor with a hint of  heat!

The recipe as written serves 4-6.  Feel free to double the recipe and thank me later!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 pound elbow macaroni
1/2 cup finely diced celery
1/2 cup finely diced bell pepper
1/2 cup finely diced carrots
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
2 scallions finely diced

FOR THE DRESSING
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder

DIRECTIONS
Mix all of your dressing ingredients together and set aside. (I do this in a mason jar)
Cook your pasta according to the package directions. While pasta is cooking prep all of your veggies and put in a large bowl. When the macaroni is done cooking drain and add to the bowl with your veggies. Mix well.  Pour as much of the dressing as you like over the pasta until everything is coated. I always add a little more dressing  just before serving as the pasta will absorb some of the dressing.

This can be made a day ahead, keep in fridge until ready to serve. (this is also good served warm!)
Recipe slightly adapted from www.picturetherecipe.com
This can be served in a large jar with a lid if you are taking it to an outdoor BBQ or picnic!

Enjoy,
