Kaw-Cajun Bayou Burgers

Total of 3.5# of meat (fresh ground chick and homemade andouille) hand pattied & ready to go to the grill tomorrow morning

After mixing the beef and andouille sausage together, I seasoned the mixture with Cajun Power worchestershire sauce and garlic sauce ... and added diced onion and Soileau's Cajun Seasoning

This is the 2 meats before adding anything else - 2.5# of fresh ground chuck and 1# of my homemade fresh andouille sausage

Burgers' Smokehouse

In addition to great thick sliced slab bacon, Burgers has a whole line of great products ~ this is some excellent sliced country ham that I love for making ham biscuits

One of my favorite Burgers' products is their 1# vac packs of bacon ends and pieces (scraps from when they slice their smoked slabs & slice for their premium bacon. These packages of bacon pieces are always very lean, and are priced about 1/4 the price of their premium sliced bacon. I use it for cooking.

Closeup of the bacon ends & pieces ~ you can see how lean & meaty it is.

Texas Sheet Cake

Buttermilk makes the crumb moist and dense ~ and the trick to keep it that way is to pour the hot frosting over the cake as soon as it comes out the oven, forming a seal that prevents any moisture from evaporating

Hot out the oven ~ ready to pour the hot frosting over it

I added a shot of triple strength espresso to this chocolate ganache frosting, and left the pecans out. Why did I leave the pecans out? Because I didn't have any, that's why...
