Southwestern Stuffed Pork Burgers Southwestern Stuffed Pork Burgers, I love BIG BURGERS and thinking about doing something with pork. We found some ground pork on sale and Ken had a hankering for burgers. But, he wanted spicy and Patti wanted smoky. We stuffed these pork beauties with lots of bacon and cheddar. But, before we stuffed them we divided the meat in half and seasoned…
Bacon Cornbread Sticks Bacon Cornbread Sticks, Ken was making his famous Chuck Wagon Chili and wanted something different as a side. Patti loves our antique corn bread stick molds. They were Ken’s grandmothers. Ken lives in fear of dry cornbread so I always add extra ingredients after starting with an easy box mix.

We’ve given it a…

Patti made a Horsey Mustard Sauce with just a hint…
Oriental Turkey Breast Oriental Turkey Breast was born when we were gifted with a fresh boneless turkey breast and told to have fun with it…so we did.

Then seasoned with Butcher…
