Weird Burgers Contest
Last night at the weekly Team Fat Kid meeting, one of my esteemed colleagues brought a store bought box of burgers. We dubbed them "weird burgers" because they had cheese and bacon in them. However, like many store bought meat products, they were sorta "eh".
But the term "weird burger" deserves a strange and delicious recipe.
I could probably think up one of my own, but I'm thinking it's more fun to ask the approximately 5 people who read this to send me recipes for Weird Burgers.
You can post your recipe in a comment or submit it to notfadeaway2359@yahoo.com. (Please put "weird burgers" in your subject line or I'll think you're spamming me.)
Winning recipe will be posted here with much fanfare, hoopla, and other funny words as well.

Homemade Mac 'N' Cheese
What you'll need:
1 medium sweet onion, finely chopped
2tbsp butter1tbsp flour
½ gallon whole milk
3lbs cheese, shredded (your choice, I always use at least one pound cheddar and 8oz swiss) for sauce
8oz cheese, shredded mozzarella or provolone to top with
2lbs any type of pasta
Salt and pepper to taste
What you'll do:
Sautee onion in butter with a pinch of salt until caramelized (about 20min) in a large sauce pan or pot. Add flour and stir cooking for about 2 min until flour absorbs all excess butter and turns brown. Deglaze bottom of pot with a little milk, then add about 2/3 of remaining milk and cook on med low heat until simmering. Add cheese to milk mix a few handfuls at a time, waiting until fully incorporated to add more until all cheese has been added. Season to taste with salt and pepper. In large baking pan add cooked pasta (cook pasta for two min less than it says to cook on box) and cheese sauce. Top with rest of cheese and bake in a pre heated oven at 350 degrees for about 45min.

*Fat Kid Note - Don't be afraid to try different seasonings on this. This applies to any mac 'n' cheese, especially crappy out-of-the-box mac. Add some garlic powder and frozen veggies, or get crazy and throw in some cayenne pepper or chili seasoning. Life is too short to always eat the same flavor mac.

Easy Does It Chili
What you need:
A couple of regular cans of beans - red, black, pinto, whatever you like. I use black beans.
A couple of cans of tomato sauce - or whole canned tomatoes, or 1 can tomatoes for the saucy stuff and a couple of fresh tomatoes...mix it up.
An onion
A can of corn
Diced fresh peppers - hot peppers, sweet peppers...depends on your tastes and your mood. They add a nice crunch though.
About a pound of meat - beef, turkey, chicken... pick one
2 packets chili seasoning
2 cloves minced garlic (or a bunch of shakes from the garlic powder jar)
Hot sauce
Cheese and sour cream
Get out the crock pot. Dump your tomato sauce in there. If you use whole canned tomatoes don't drain them, and use a knife to cut them up roughly in the pot so you don't lose all the good juice.
Drain your beans and throw 'em in.
Cut up your peppers and onion and toss those in there. They're gonna be crunchy in the final outcome - if you don't want them crunchy you can saute them first, but this is supposed to be an easy recipe. In that case just don't bother with them at all, that's what I say.
Oh! Don't forget your corn.
Set the pot to warm. Now get out a pan or a George Foreman or whatever you use and cook your meat through. Toss it in the pot when it's done. This chili is great if you've got leftovers, like burgers or roast chicken or something like that. Just strip the chicken right off the carcass and toss it in the pot. Cut up bigger hunks with kitchen shears as you go.
Add your chili seasoning and garlic and whatever other weirdo spices you're gonna throw in there. Stir it all up good. Now you can go ahead and add your hot sauce. If you ran out of hot sauce last week, go ahead and use a handful of the Taco Bell packets hanging out in the door of your refrigerator. Nobody will notice.
Keep that pot on low for maybe an hour, hour and a half. You can set it on high if you're really hungry, but it'll be thick and kind of dry. Stir it every time you walk past for a beer.
Top with a bunch of cheese (sharp cheddar is awesome) and some sour cream. Feeds 6, or 3 Fat Kids.
