This 'burger dog' is far more than a hot dog-shaped cheeseburger. It's a one-handed wonder that's perfectly proportioned and easier to eat than a regular cheeseburger.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef , 80% lean
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 extra-long hot dog buns
- 4 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
Instructions

1
Place half the ground beef on a sheet of plastic wrap. Pat it into a rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick, 8 1/2 inches long, and 4 inches wide. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the beef into a log, using the plastic wrap as a guide. Season with more salt and pepper. Wrap the plastic tightly around the log and twist both ends tight. Pat gently to slightly flatten. Repeat with remaining ground beef.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the burger dogs from the plastic wrap and place on the grill, perpendicular to the grates. Cook until burgers are browned but still pink inside, 4 to 5 minutes, flip, and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Place a slice of cheese on each burger dog and grill to medium doneness (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F/60 degrees C). Remove and rest 3 to 4 minutes.

Toast hot dog buns on the grill and spread each with 2 teaspoons mayonnaise. Place burger dog on each bun and squirt 1 tablespoon of ketchup on top.

Slow Cooker Funeral Potatoes (Hash Brown Casserole)
Funeral potatoes have always been a food day favorite at my work but the topic came up and I discovered that my husband had never had it. I needed my oven for other things so I came up with this slow cooker version. I also chose to use potato chips over the traditional cornflake topping but either will work.
Red Reuben Hand Pies
The inspiration for this tasty hand pie comes from a local German restaurant that serves an exceptional Red Reuben sandwich. They swap out sauerkraut for red cabbage on a traditional Reuben sandwich with awesome results. German potato salad and dill pickles are excellent sidekicks.
Homemade Egg Noodles
I learned to cook many things from my grandmother. One of the family favorites was noodles, however Grandma taught by handfuls and pinches of this and that. I since have tried to convert to US measurements. My grandmother would be 102 if still living.
