Pot & Cover

we felt like burgers...but simple...so sliders and jalepeno poppers-grilled were the thing... i hollowed the peppers with a sharp paring knife...made our own holder with foil & an egg carton as a mold. stuffed with shredded gruyere & chopped earl campbell sausage...then wrapped in half a piece of thick cut bacon, poked thru with a toothpick and put on the grill...then the bacon finished on the cast iron skillet...maybe next time thinner bacon-get a real holder or par cook bacon first...but no matter what they were incredibly GOOD i'm ready for my close up mr demille kroger sliders..some with cheddar and bacon, some with blue cheese and jalepeno...or vice versa...with a little extra s&p sliders with extra cheddar, sauteed onion, mayo & mustard...and fresh basil and tomato served with kettle bbq chips scott cooked the burgers on the grill/cast iron skillet...they were perfectly pink and deelicious!

We finally added some to a batch of Marriage Chili(which Emeril's original recipe calls for, and we arogantly dismissed) a few months ago and noticed a difference...and we've been becoming bell pepper converts. I always 'wanted' to like them...they are healthy right!? But never cared....until now...

These were the highly prized yellow and orange...not those 'common' green ones... So he brought them home...not knowing what we'd do with them...just knowing they were somehow 'important'...(where's Madison to make sure I'm using my italics correctly!) anyway...inspired by shows like "Chop...
