Homemade hamburgers

4 links of organic turkey-sundried tomato sausages, meat only-no casing
1 lb. lean ground been
1/2 large red bell pepper, diced
1/2 large purple onion, chopped fine
2 large eggs
24 multigrain crackers, crushed
2 tbsp cayenne pepper
6 tbsps hickory smoked barbecue sauce
4 tbsp organic hemp hearts
Salt and pepper to taste

6 large balls of goat cheese (about 1 tbsp)


Mix all ingredients except the goat cheese in a large bowl well.  Form large thick round balls(approximately 4 to 5 inches diameter).  Slowly press flat between palms.  Using thumb, make an indentation in the center, leaving still about 1/2 inch of meat, place goat cheese ball here.  Take a piece of the mixture and flatten it and cover the goat cheese, pressing the meat down against the patty, sealing the cheese in the center.

Over medium high heat, on a hot griddle, place the patty and cook until the brown starts to creep halfway up the side, you may have to lower the heat to keep the patty from burning, but you do want it quite dark, approximately ten minutes.  Flip over to the other side and cook for another 10 minutes.

Serve on a large kaiser roll with mayonnaise and other condiments as desired.  Best served with sweet potato fries.

Cheese Roll Ups

This was just an off the cuff idea I had for yesterdays complement to the spaghetti dinner I made for the kids.  They loved it, so with that kind of review, I'm happy to pass it on. 10 inch cheese tortillas ricotta cheese garlic hummus medium hot salsa Spread ricotta cheese across the entire tortilla.  Then spread hummus across the ricotta.  In the center of the tortilla, leave about 2 tablespoons of the salsa in a line across the center.  Roll the tortilla up, keeping the mixture inside.  Place on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 350 for about 15 to 20 minutes.
