Slow Cooker Pepper Pork Chops

This is a touch of sweet and a touch of spicy. The pork would have pulled off the bone had I been using bone-in chops. I was not. I'm okay with that. Still delicious.

With the pork as tender as it is, I'm going to try pulling it apart and make sandwiches out of them.

Burger of the Gods

I have a recipe I like to use for making homemade burgers. It calls for some of this and a little of that and wave my magic wand...and yum-o.

I remembered that Alton Brown had an episode where he made homemade hamburger. I remembered that he 'ground' his own meat, but I could not remember what seasonings he used. A quick trip to the Food Network site and I had his recipe sitting on my tablet (an ASUS Transformer Prime, if you must know). I marveled at it's simplicity. 8 ounces chuck. 8 ounces sirloin. 1/2 teaspoon of salt. That's it. Period. End of conversation.

And it is sublime. Better than my own with all of the special ingredients I add.

Now, what you see in this picture is what I call near perfection. Sadly, I had no pickles or shoe-string onions. This comes as close as I can to recreating Red Robin's Burger Royale. We have mayo, ketchup, mustard. Lettuce, bacon, avocado, and melted Cheddar cheese. Oh...and sitting atop that all is a fried egg. Nomalicious!

I have re-dubbed this: Burger of the Titans
