Week 16: MN v. NY

Because we were leaving for the Dominican Republic on Monday, our Sunday Night Dinner last week had to...

• Be very, very easy.
• Generate essentially 0 dirty dishes.

My brother Tom had the perfect suggestion without even knowing the requirements: The Juicy Lucy!

Apparently, inside-out cheeseburgers are a big deal in Minnesota.

I know it looks messy, but it seriously couldn't be any easier - especially since the side dish as frozen veggies and a Manhattan.*  And it was not freezing out, so I was able to use the grill. The recipe came from All Recipes again, but honestly, every recipe looked pretty much the same down to the processed American cheese product. Call me a snob, but I'm not using that shit. That maybe why so much of the cheese spread throughout the burger rather than congealing in a healthy lump in the center. I'm pretty okay with that. 

*Maybe it was a Manhattan, maybe not. Rob is in charge of cocktails.
