BLUE MOON BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine blue cheese and cream cheese and beat well.
• Set aside to give the flavors time to meld.
• Form the ground beef into 4 patties.
• Salt and pepper, if desired, and cook as desired (we grill EVERYTHING in Arizona!).
• When burgers are done, add 1/4 of the blue cheese mixture to the top of each burger.
• Top with a slice of jack cheese.
• Spread mayo on toasted buns.
• When jack cheese is somewhat"gooey," place burgers on buns.
• Add remaining toppings.
• Don't use ketchup!
• Ketchup and blue cheese do NOT go together!

THE BLUE MILL TAVERN LOOSEMEAT SANDWICH

Steps:

• Get out a cast iron skillet-they are the best for loosemeats-or other kind if you have no iron skillet.
• Melt fat over medium heat and lightly salt bottom of skillet.
• Break ground beef up in skillet and start crumbling it with the back of a wooden spoon-this is very important-the meat must end up being cooked up into small crumbles.
• Add chopped onion while browning meat.
• Keep working with the back of spoon to break up meat.
• When meat is browned, drain off any fat and return meat to skillet.
• Add mustard, vinegar, sugar, and just enough water to barely cover meat in the pan.
• Cook, at a simmer, till water is all cooked out-between 15-20 minutes.
• Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat your hamburger buns-they're traditionally steamed for loosemeats-I like mine toasted lightly-do it the way you like it.
• When buns are warm, put yellow mustard on them and add some dill pickle slices-I put on lots!
• *If you start changing this recipe and using things like olive oil for the fat and Dijon or honey mustard for the yellow mustard, you will not get the traditional yummy taste of a loosemeat sandwich.
• Likewise, don't add any liquid smoke or Worcestershire sauce.
• Make them just like this the first time so you can sample the simplicity of this famous Midwestern treat.
• If you want to start making changes after that by all means do so but I'd like you to taste the original recipe at least once.
• Serve with homemade potato salad and chips or with my Easy Cheesy Potato recipe.

BLUE MOON
