The Salinas Seven

Also known as a heart attack on a plate, but if you’re like me, you reward yourself with stuff like this on occasion. And your guilt level is pretty much zero.

Kody is obsessed with stumble upon, and this recipe comes to you courtesy of that site and my very excited son, who was beaming when he showed it to me.

I didn’t use the recipe featured at stumble upon, but my concept was somewhat the same.

Recipe:
2 lbs sirloin burger
8 oz Bleu cheese crumbles (or whatever cheese you favor)
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 small onion, chopped
celery salt
pepper
3 lbs bacon
1 tsp olive oil

Saute onion and garlic in olive oil. Don’t use more than recommended, because you’re going to be mixing these aromatics into your beef, and too much grease will change the consistency and the beef will fall apart during cooking. Remove from heat and mix with ground sirloin. Mold sirloin into 10 1/8 lb patties. This is the gross part. Wash your hands.

On top of small patties, add small amounts of whatever cheese you are using.

Mold ten more patties out of remaining sirloin and place on top of bottom patties topped with cheese. Then use your fingers to press bottom and top patties firmly together.

Wrap bacon around patties using the lattice method, just as you would with the top of an apple pie. Grill or broil ten minutes each side.

After eating this, you'll want to do some push ups, go for a run, or do some jumping jacks, because eating this is like breaking a commandment good.
