Cooking with McCain

Willy usually reserves this for cooking and recipes, but today it is about what is Cooking With John McCain.

Hot off the grill is his VP running mate - Sarah Palin.

This is what Willy calls "Hot in the kitchen"

Time for a Burger -All-American BBQ-Bacon Cheeseburgers

Willy thinks this would be a great hamburger - might be a little sissy - using the Kaiser roll - Might just want to use a big old traditional bun.

For a spicy variation - add jalapeno's either grilled or sauteed. I call that a Felix Burger -

--------
1/2 cup Barbecue Sauce, (your favorite) divided
1 lb. ground beef
4 cheese Singles
4 kaiser rolls, split, toasted
4 lettuce leaves
4 thin tomato slices
4 slices lean Bacon, crisply cooked, broken in half

To Grill: To grill meat patties, heat grill to medium. Remove 1/4 of the barbecue sauce for later use. Grill patties 7 to 9 min. on each side or until cooked through (160ºF), turning and brushing occasionally with remaining barbecue sauce for the last few minutes. Top with Singles; grill 1 min. or until Singles begin to melt. Continue as directed.

If you are in a hurry and want to use broiler - follow this:

HEAT broiler. Reserve 1/4 cup barbecue sauce. Shape meat into 4 patties.

BROIL, 4 to 6 inches from heat, 7 to 9 min. on each side or until cooked through (160°F), brushing occasionally with remaining barbecue sauce. Top with Singles. Broil 1 min. or until Singles begin to melt.

COVER bottom halves of rolls with lettuce and tomatoes; top with burgers, reserved sauce, bacon and tops of rolls.
