Unstuffed Peppers

Hello my Crazies!!! I hope that you had an amazing weekend and that you are ready for a new one to begin.  Oh who am I kidding?  Mondays are the worst and I really should leave the happiness to Saucy Irish.  We can't both be the perky happy one! 

Over the weekend I hate to cook. That is a stated fact. Lunches are eaten out if we are traveling about the hills and suppers are ordered in if we aren't.   So today after I made them scavenge the very empty fridge I figured I better make them a meal. We are trying to cut back on the eating out as well as the crappy food that isn't good for you--ever.

I looked through our blog and my cookbooks, but didn't have the ingredients I needed.  Two recipes caught my attention, Stuffed Peppers and Hobo Meals.  So the Unstuffed Peppers were born!

I hope you enjoy this recipe, it got 4 thumbs up at my Asylum as well as some tummies that wished I had made more.

Unstuffed Peppers
Peppers or mini peppers
Burger
Lawry Chille and Garlic
Onions or onion flakes
Tomatoes (I used can)
Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
Sour cream, Optional

I put the peppers, burger patties (uncooked), Lawry, onions and tomatoes onto pieces of tinfoil and wrapped them up.  I put them on the grill on low for 30-40 minutes. I added cheese and sour cream as well as salt and pepper to taste. Then we snarfed them down in seconds.

Happy Thursday! Take me out to the ballpark!

Hello crazies!  Take me out to the ball park, take me out to the game, buy me some peanuts and cracker jack.......................wait!  That's not what this crazy wants at the ball park lol.  It's hotdogs and burgers and beer LOL!  So this recipe came from Food Network and it's all about the ball park.  I think the original was from Racheal Ray.   Sorry to be so late and such a short note but you know what it's like when things get crazy!!  Enjoy!

(and if I have done this recipe before I apologize now!)

1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

2 pounds lean ground sirloin or ground turkey

1 package beef or pork hot dogs, sliced 1/2" thick

1 onion, chopped

1 Tablespoon steak seasoning

1 Tablespoon chili powder

3 Tablespoons dark brown sugar

3 Tablespoons worcestershire sauce

1 14.5 oz can tomato sauce

9 soft burger rolls - like at the ballpark

Heat the extra virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan, in a deep skillet over medium high heat.  Add meat and crumble as it browns.  Add chopped hot dogs after 3-4 minutes then cook 3-4 minutes more.  Add the onions to the pan and cook to soften, 5-6 minutes more.  In a bowl mix the spices, sugar, worcestershire and tomato sauce.  Pour sauce over the meat and simmer a few minutes to combine flavors.  Slop onto buns and serve!

They are sure messy!  Messy always makes things taste better we think!  Time to bleach the straight jackets!  See you Saturday!
