WEEK 7: VIKINGS at STEELERS


JOEKNOWSBBQ's VIKING VERSION of THE ROETHLIS-BURGER

Out in Pittsburgh there is a place called Pappi's that has become famous for their $7 Roethlis-burger...as in Ben Roethlisberger, who wears #7. It's like half and half sausage and ground meat, then you sautee some onions over here and some scrambled eggs over there and you lop it on to a (debated on youtube) Portuguese or an Italian roll with lettuce and tomatoe.

It's a freakin' mess, kind of like our secondary without Antoine Winfield, and that has me real concerned going into the game.

But I digress...

From every picture I saw it didnt look real appetizing, with all due respect to Pappi's, and their patrons. But I love the concept, and the ingredients. Taking it a step further, out in Minnesota, their big burger is the Jucy Lucy, which are two thin patties with the cheese in the middle, forming a pot pie like effect.

So here's what I came up with when putting this together:

7 INGREDIENTS- Ground Meat and Italian Sausage (50/50 Ratio), Onion, 2 Eggs (for the 2 SuperBowls he won), Garlic, Diced Tomatoes, Yellow American Cheese.

1. Preheat grill for indirect heat.
2. Remove sausage from casings, and mix together with ground beef and a little Heinz ketchup. Form patties.
3. With one slice of American Cheese, cut in 4 squares, pile all four squares on top of each other, and stick between 2 thin patties. Crimp edges and that makes one Roethlis-burger Jucy Lucy patty.
4. In spearate pan, make an omellette with Egg, Onion, Garlic, and Tomatoe.
5. Grill Burgers.
6. When finished, serve on scooped Kaiser rolls, burger on bottom, omellette on top.
7. Garnish with Heinz Ketchup.

TODAYS BEERS: Rolling Rock, or Iron City...take your pick.
