    Title: Bacon Double Cheeseburger
    Categories: Beef, Pork, Cheese
    Yield: 1 servings

    3 sl Bacon ends or thick-cut
    - bacon
    2 sl Pepper-Jack cheese
    1/4 lb Ground chuck patty
    Salt & pepper
    1 Hamburger bun; lightly
    - toasted
    2 sl Dill pickle
    2 sl Tomato
    1 Handful shredded lettuce
    2 sl White onion
    Mustard, ketchup, mayo

    Place the bacon in a saucepan with enough water to cover
    it. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a slow simmer for
    about 45 minutes, or until the bacon shreds easily.

    Meanwhile, form the ground beef chuck into a patty and
    season with salt and pepper. Reserve.

    Remove the bacon from the water and place a small pile
    on one side of a large frying pan. Use a flat metal
    spatula to press down on the bacon as it cooks, forming
    into a thin, flat, patty.

    Place the beef patty on the other side of the frying pan
    and score with the edge of the spatula.

    Flip both the beef and bacon patty over, cooking on both
    sides. Continue to press the bacon patty with the
    spatula to flatten it. Cook bacon until it is crisp on
    both sides and resembles a hashbrown. Cook the burger
    patty to desired doneness.

    Begin assembling the burger. Slather mustard and mayo on
    the bottom half of the bun. Stack onion rings on top of
    each other and drizzle with ketchup. Stack tomato slices
    and pickles on top of onions. Top with lettuce.

    Place a slice of cheese on the bacon patty and the
    hamburger patty. Place the top bun on the bacon and
    transfer the bacon patty on top of the beef patty. Lift
    the whole contraption off the grill and place on top of
    the bottom half of the burger.

    Wrap up the burger in some waxed or parchment paper and
    dig in!

    Title: Rustic Italian Cheese Bread
    Categories: Breads, Herbs, Cheese
    Yield: 12 Servings

    1 c Warm water; 125oF/52oC
    2 tb Olive oil
    3 c Unbleached flour
    2 ts Sugar
    1/2 ts Salt
    1 ts Italian seasoning mix
    1/4 ts Garlic granules
    1 Packet cheese mix from a box
    - of generic Mac & Cheese.
    1 pk Active dry yeast
    Cornmeal
    1 Egg white; beaten

    Place ingredients except cornmeal & egg white in bread
    machine pan according to manufacturer's directions.
    Process on dough setting.

    Sprinkle ungreased cookie sheet with cornmeal. At end
    of dough cycle, remove dough from machine; place on a
    lightly floured surface. Punch down dough (If dough
    is sticky, knead in additional flour before shaping).

    Shape dough into baguette-shaped loaf about 12" long.
    Place loaf on cornmeal-coated sheet. Cover; let rise
    in warm place, 80-85oF/27-29oC, for 20-25 minutes or
    until light and doubled in size.

    Or you can use a regular 9" X 5" loaf pan(s).

    Heat oven to 375oF/190oC. With a sharp knife, make
    one deep lengthwise slash in top of loaf. Brush loaf
    with egg white.

    Bake for 25-35 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow
    when lightly tapped.

    Makes one 12 slice loaf.

    NOTE: You can also let the bread machine do the baking
    for you - but the loaf won't look "rustic". It will, of
    course, taste just as good. - UDD
