Inside Out Burger

Ingredients:
Wagyu Kobe Beef Steakburgers
1 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
3/4 cup cooked diced bacon pieces
salt and pepper to taste
4 buns
lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and sauces
as needed for topping
Directions: Split the burger patties in half horizontally, so that you essentially have two thinner burger patties. Place an equal amount of blue cheese and bacon pieces on top of one half pattie, and then place the other half back on top of it and forming it back into one pattie with the cheese and bacon being on the inside. Season the outsides with salt and pepper, and grill, or cook to desired doneness. Toast the buns and place burgers on each bun, and top with toppings of choice. When you cut or bite into the burger the cheese should be melted and creamy.

Put This Meatball On Your Bucket List

It’s being touted as the “Giant Meatball You Must Try Before You Die.”

Well, that sounds promising. I’m in!

It’s a one-pound meatball made with high-quality ground beef, onion, garlic, spices, cheeses and more. Music to your ears? Mine, too!

You can read all about this beautiful ball of meat here and get the full recipe to try out at home. If you go on this adventure in the kitchen, be sure and make a few because you just might eat an entire meatball yourself. I personally have been known to do that. Share the love!

Meatball Sub Recipe

How can you resist that meaty goodness?

Rachael Ray has a great Meatball Sub recipe using ground beef, homemade marinara and topped with provolone. Mwah!

I did mine a little differently (above) using pickles as the topper with the cheese at the bottom. Absolutely scrumptious!

Try her Meatball Sub recipe but don’t forget to personalize it to your taste. After all, you’re eating it, right?

Mangia, and then a big nap. Enjoy!
