Bonus Recipe Ginormous Cabbage Wrapped Burger Stack Recipes

BONUS RECIPE: DO THE CABBAGE PACK!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Carefully remove the tough core from the cabbage using a sharp knife. Slice the cabbage half into 4 thin wedges. Halve each wedge, leaving you with 8 "chunks."
• Lay a large piece of heavy-duty foil on a baking sheet and spray with nonstick spray. Spread the cabbage out in the center, and top with onion. Add butter in four evenly spaced dollops over the onion. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika. Top with bacon and garlic.
• Place another large piece of foil over the veggies. Fold together and seal all four edges of the two foil pieces, forming a well-sealed packet.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the veggies are soft.
• Let it cool slightly. Using oven mitts, carefully flip the packet over, allowing the butter mixture to coat the veggies, and then return to right-side-up. Cut the packet to release steam before opening it entirely. (Careful - steam will be hot.) If you like, season with additional salt, pepper, and paprika, to taste. Mmmmm!

EASY BACON, ONION AND CHEESE STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt, black pepper, barbeque sauce and garlic powder using your hands. Taking a small handful at a time (approximately 1/4 pound), shape into 12 patties. Lay patties out on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap; place patties in the refrigerator.
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon from skillet with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Turn the heat down to medium and pan fry the onions in the remaining bacon drippings until soft and translucent and just beginning to brown. Mix together onions and bacon in a small bowl.
• Prepare a grill or large skillet for medium heat.
• As the grill heats, pull beef patties out of the refrigerator; top 6 of the patties with 1- 1/2 tablespoons of the bacon and onion mixture each, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Top each with one of the remaining patties and press the edges together to seal.
• Grill or pan fry the stuffed and sealed patties until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve on hamburger buns with condiments of your choice.
