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.

Double thick pork chops, stuffed with wild rice, celery, onions, broccoli, plus apple and dried cranberry poached in Terremana tequila. Double baked potatoes with smoked aged cheddar and roasted garlic. I sliced 3/4 of the way through. Mixed the cooked wild rice with the sautéed diced onion, celery and broccoli florets. Then added the poached apple slices and cranberry. Let it cool a bit first. Then 3 large spoonful of stuffing spread in the sliced chop. Gently squeezed the edge together and held it with 3 toothpicks. Once they were cooked at 375 for 30 minutes, then broiled on high for 3 minutes for browning, I removed the toothpicks before plating. Baked the russet potatoes, scooped out the insides. Mixed that with 2 tablespoons of butter, shredded double smoked aged cheddar, topped with Beimister cheese.
