Pig Candy

* one pound of thick sliced bacon
* brown sugar
* cayenne pepper

Lay the slices of bacon on a foil lined baking pan, or just fashion one out of heavy duty aluminium foil. Please don't use a naked pan. This gets messy.

Cover the bacon with sugar and sprinkle the pepper on to taste.

Throw it on the grill or in the oven at 350. You can either flip it over and put the sugar and pepper on the other side to make it extra fantastic or just allow it to fry up and caramelize on the one side, however you like your bacon is just fine with me.

Allow to cool, cut into squares and enjoy.

I'm usually not one for the pig-eating, but I have to admit that I tried it out of curiosity and it. was. glorious.

Burgers

*really good ground beef, like sirloin, but make sure it has some fat in it
*chopped onion (dehydrated will work too)
*Worcestershire sauce
*A1 sauce
*McCormack Montreal Steak Seasoning

Mix all this stuff together and make the patties as big as baseballs, then press down just a little so it doesn't roll around on the grill

Put it on the grill and let it cook for awhile. DO NOT press down on this. EVER. Why would you press on a burger? Do you think it cooks faster? No, it just drains the juice, and you want that. All over your chin and shirt.

Flip it once or twice.

You can also stuff some Brie, Blue, or Roquefort cheese in the middle or mix shredded cheese in with the burger before you cook it.

If you buy lean ground beef, stick a little pat of butter in the middle. Hell, if you buy fatty ground beef stick a little pat of butter in the middle. It will only make it better.

I've made these with venison too, and substituted rosemary and thyme for the Steak Seasoning. Just be sure to add some salt in there, and top with Lorraine Swiss Cheese.

One last thing. Some people put egg in their ground meat to make meatballs, burger, meatloaf, whatever. Don't. That is why those people's burgers are dry and cakey and you have to chew them. I don't know why people put egg in there. Meat binds itself together. I promise these burgers will not fall apart, but they will melt in your mouth.

Hobo Pie

*some meat if you like meat
*some cut up carrots
*some butter
*some apples
*some corn
*some cut up potatoes
*other root veggies, it all works
*heavy duty aluminum foil
*lemons or lemon pepper
*seasonings to taste

wrap all the food up in a foil packet, put in a few pats of butter and throw it in a fire, oven, or on the Q for awhile. You can poke at it with a stick every once in awhile or put a marshmallow fork through the foil to see if it slides out of a potato cleanly. It is done when you are tired of waiting.

Grilled Bananas

*6 firm nanners
*2 tbsp brown sugar (I prefer my sugar to be dark brown, just like my men)
*1/8 tsp cinnamon
*1/8 tsp nutmeg

Fire up the grill

Cook bananas unpeeled about 5 inches from heat for about 10 minutes until the peels are brown and soft. Be sure to turn them once

Combine everything else.

Split the peels and sprinkle with the sugar. You can eat it right out of the peel with a fork

These are good with ice cream.
