Grilled Buffalo Chicken Burgers

If you know me, you know I do not eat hamburgers (not based on anything other than I do not think they taste good).....but I was craving something similar. So....ground chicken burgers it is. But I didn't just want a plain ole burger......So i started searching, and finally decided on Buffalo Chicken Burgers. I came up with the recipe on my own, and it could probably still use some tweaking, but they were still very good.

Ingredients: (makes 4 burgers)

• 1 lb. ground chicken
• 1/2 cup Wing Sauce (your choice on how hot)
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 4 Hamburger buns
• sliced pepperjack cheese (you could use bleu cheese, but I don't like it)
• 1 tomato, sliced
• condiments of your choice to top (ranch/ketchup/lettuce...etc)

Directions:

• In a large bowl, add chicken, wing sauce, bread crumbs, and diced onion. 
• Mix until well incorporated. 
• Form the meat into 4 patties, place on a plate and put in the refrigerator for about 30min-1 hour to help form and stay together during cooking. 

• Start the grill.
• Place chicken patties on the grill, turning occasionally, cooking for about 15-20 minutes on med-low heat.  ( Jeremy cooked the chicken, I am not a griller)

• Put the chicken, tomato and cheese on a hamburger bun and ENJOY!

• We cooked some sweet potato fries as our side. 

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Back to the crock pot....honestly, the best invention EVER!
I found this recipe at "Crepes of Wrath"

Ingredients:

• 2.5 lbs pork butt roast (bone in)   [this was enough meat for about 4 people]
• 1/4 cup +  tbsp light brown sugar
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1 onion diced (I only had 1/2 an onion, still worked well)
• 1 6oz can tomato paste
• 4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 4 tbsp. molasses
• 3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp chili powder (use less if you don't want it spicy)
• 2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp dry ground mustard
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• a pack of buns
• BBQ sauce if you want (we didn't need any....very juicy, lots of flavor!)

Side: We just had some veggies -- asparagus,carrots, onion....

Directions:

• Cut excess fat off the meat, place in the crock pot.
• Pour all the other ingredients into the crock pot (except the buns and bbq sauce of course)
• Turn the crock pot on low for 8 hours
• (I was home parts of the day, so every now and then I stirred everything and flipped the meat, but it wasn't necessary)
• About 30 minutes before you serve, shred the meat using 2 forks and remove the bone.
• Once the meat is shredded, turn your crock pot on warm

• Serve whenever you're ready
• I put the buns in the oven to warm for a few minutes before serving (we just used little "sammie" buns

• ENJOY!
