Grilled chicken pineapple burgers!

NOW THAT IS NICE WEATHER IS NICE HERE ARE SOME GOOD RECIPES FOR THE GRILL!

Grilled Chicken Pineapple Burgers

I don't have a picture... Should have taken one last night. My family LOVES these burgers.
(got the idea from Red Robin's sandwich!)

RECIPE INGREDIENTS
Chicken breast
Pineapple rings
Buns/Rolls
BBQ sauce
Swiss cheese slices
Teriyaki

DIRECTIONS
I use skinless, boneless chicken breast cut in half.
I used meat tenderizer-I think that is what it is called and pounded them flat
(so you can bite into them)
marinate chicken in pineapple juice
(from the can of slice pineapples)

Grill chicken and pineapple
put BBQ sauce on the chicken just before its done
I butter the buns (I use seasoned rolls-garlic or anything you want) then grill them
then add the Swiss cheese let melt and then pineapple slices

Melts in your mouth!!

I have also tried marinating the chicken in teriyaki instead of pineapple juice, and that is good too!



Fuddruckers Hamburgers recipe

(got this from my SIL, we have tried this and it is good!)


Recipe Ingredients
2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp brown sugar (we added a little more)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder (We didn't have powder so we just used onion salt)
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper

Will work with any ground beef, but we prefer ground sirloin. Will make about 2 lbs. worth (approx. 4 big patties)

Enjoy!

Any cut of steak will work for this recipe, but we especially like the flavor and texture of rib-eye with these seasonings; look for steak that has been thinly cut. A cold ale, sweet potato fries and vinegary coleslaw can round out the meal.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS
8 ounces 1/2-inch-thick steaks, such as rib-eye, trimmed of fat and cut into 2 portions
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 plum tomatoes, diced
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro


DIRECTIONS
Sprinkle both sides of steak with chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook, turning once, 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover with foil and let rest while you make the salsa.
Add tomatoes, lime juice and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to the pan and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes soften, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in cilantro and any accumulated juices from the steaks. Serve the steaks topped

Crock Pot Pizza Casserole

Crock Pot Pizza Casserole

1 lb Ground beef
1.5 jar (14 oz) pizza sauce
1 jar (23 oz) spaghetti sauce
1 pkg (12 oz) noodles {I choose a Penne noodle}
4 oz Cheese, mozzarella
4 oz Cheese, cheddar
1 small can Mushrooms
1 small can sliced olives
1 Onion, diced
1 Green Pepper, diced
1 pkg Pepperoni

Directions
1. Brown hamburger and onion. Drain grease.
2. Cook Noodles while browning hamburger.
3. Add sauces to meat and onion mixture.
4. In crock pot add mushrooms, olives, and green pepper.
5. Spoon meat mixture into crock pot and mix all together.
6. Put in as much Pepperoni and cheese as you would like.

Cook on Low for one hour, I wouldn't cook longer than two hours. I do have to tell you when I made this, the sauce mixture did not go far - so I increased the amounts on this recipe. It is possible even with the increase it could still be a little dry, just use your best judgment on the sauce. Additionally, I would imagine you could turn this into a half day crock pot recipe, with the hamburger being cooked in the crock pot. Overall, this was actually pretty yummy and I was sceptical!
