Spicy Tomato Burger

I was beyond excited when Red Gold Tomatoes contacted me about their Summer Grillin' Party. The party began June 25th on their facebook page. During the party, which ends on July 23rd, they are holding a weekly drawing for 1,000 aprons..... AND a grand prize of a Big Green Egg Grill and Red Gold Grilling kit. How cool is that?

To add to the fun, they sent me tomatoes, recipes and an apron! I have had so much fun with these tomatoes. I made a delicious baked main dish I will share with you another day. For today, we are talking about a burger on the grill! A burger with tomatoes in it! I was leery of this. Truckin' Man and I are not big on tomatoes on our burgers, but you know what? We loved them IN the burger. So, parents... if you want a way to get your kids to eat another veggie... try this! 
  



Disclaimer: Red Gold provided me with tomatoes and an apron for participating in the 
"Summer Grilling Party", but all opinions are my own.



Spicy Tomato Burger (Source: Red Gold)

1 pound lean ground beef
1 - 14.5 ounce can Red Gold Petite Deiced Tomatoes with Green Chiles (Drained)
Salt and Pepper
Cheese (I used cheddar, but recommend topping with a Pepper Jack cheese)
Burger Toppings
Buns

Preheat grill.
Drain tomatoes well. Combine ground beef and diced tomatoes. Form into patties. Season well with salt and pepper.

Place patties on grill and cook until medium well. Top with cheese and close grill for another minute, until cheese is melted.

Remove and assemble burgers with your favorite toppings!

Enjoy!

Crazy BBQ Chicken

Many many years ago, when I was still in the banking world, I had the pleasure of sharing my cubicle with a new hire. The bank was going through merger after merger, and we were expanding beyond belief. I trained in the new guy, and since we got along, and were short on desk space, we were assigned to share. It wasn't all bad sharing such close quarters, he liked talking food too! 

In all our bank time together, he shared one recipe with me, that I have kept with me to this day. It's simple, but perfect. It is my all time favorite way to grill chicken.

Here is the recipe, as he gave it to me.  Enjoy!





Crazy BBQ Chicken

1 Large Bottle 7-Up (I use the 2 liter bottle)
2 red onions - diced
4 large garlic cloves-diced
1 bottle soy sauce ( adjust to your taste on how much you want to use!)
Hot sauce (Optional)
2 chickens cut into pieces

Put all ingredients into an old paint bucket (I use 2 of my largest bowls for this part!).

Marinate for 5 or more hours.

Grill-Basting Once.

***Note*** This recipe is easily cut in half, if you aren't feeding a crowd!
