Zax Sauce!

 A Tale of Culinary Discovery...

Once upon a time, in the quaint village called Keller, a fair maiden took her sister, who was visiting from a far away kingdom, to a local establishment.  While dining on chicken tenders, a sauce was discovered that beat any sauce the sister had ever tasted.  Every time the sister went to Keller she requested this scrumptious sauce. Sometimes, though, when back at home, the sister craved this sauce.  Sadly, she could not find it's equal in her kingdom.  "I shall try to make this sauce!  I will not rest until I discover its secret!"  She exclaimed.  Luckily, her kingdom was equipped with high speed internet.  In no time, the secret recipe was duplicated.  Both sisters lived happily ever after.  That is until they tasted these darling "mini cakes" from a baker who has mastered the art of Sprinkles.

Bacon Blue Cheese Swiss Burger

Are you ready for the creamiest burger ever?  Yes, that's right.  I said creamy burger.  If you like blue cheese, you'll love this burger! 

 
1. First season 1 lb of hamburger meat with sea salt, Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning, and Montreal Steak seasoning. I never measure...I just sprinkle what I think is enough. 

2. In a small bowl, mix 2 oz. cream cheese (softened) and 2 oz. crumbled blue cheese.  Then stir in some onion flakes (about 1/2 teaspoon) and 1 teaspoon of dried parsley.

3. With the spiced up hamburger meat, make 6 thin patties. 

4. On top of three of the patties evenly spread 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture. 

5. Then take the other three patties and lay them on top of the patties topped with cream cheese mixture.  Then, press the edges together sealing in the cheese.  

6. At this point, you can grill the burgers or fry them in a skillet. 

7. Top with swiss cheese and bacon.
