Triple Meat Red Sauce

I am absolutely in love with this sauce and it is extremely easy.  My father in law raved about this and my husband, who claims he doesn't like pasta went for a second helping.  Spaghetti is my all time favorite leftover meal and this was even better the next day.  This makes ALOT of sauce so, I ended up freezing half of it.

 

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground Italian sausage
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 cup diced prosciutto
• 2 jars favorite marinara
• 1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
• 1 large sweet onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

 

Directions: In a large skillet brown beef and sausage with onions.  When meat is cooked throughout add 1/4 of meat mixture, 2oz of prosciutto and garlic into a food processor, blend together until crumbly.  Add all remaining ingredients and blended meat into a lightly greased crock pot.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours and serve over noodles.

MAC Sauce Burgers

Big Macs at home, NO PROBLEM!  I decided to call this a MAC burger because it obviously doesn't look anything like a regular Big Mac, and A Small Mac didn't sound appropriate because its huge!

Ingredients for Sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayo
• 2 tablespoons sweet relish
• 1 tablespoon french dressing
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• dash of salt

Ingredients for Burgers:

1 1/4 lb of ground beef, I use 80/20

1 teaspoon Worcestershire

1/2 teaspoon burger seasoning plus additional to taste, (if you don't have this substitute for seasoning salt with a little onion powder)

buns

4 slices yellow American cheese

1/4 of small sweet onion, finely diced

 1/2 cup lettuce, finely diced

 

Directions for Sauce: Whisk all ingredients together until smooth.
Directions for Burgers: Preheat grill. In a large bowl add beef, Worcestershire and burger seasoning and mix together with hands. Form into 4 individual patties and sprinkle with additional burger seasoning if desired. Cook patties on the preheated grill until they are cooked to your desire, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well adding cheese for last minute or until melted. Lather top and bottom of bun with MAC sauce, add patties and top with lettuce and onions!

Copy-Cat Red Robin Campfire Sauce

My husband came home one day and told me about this amazing Campfire Sauce at Red Robin.  He kept telling me how much I would love it so, I decided to surprise him at work for lunch.  We walked over to Red Robin or shall I say, "The Dirty Bird" according to my husband.  Needless to say, I loved it.  Mayo and BBQ sauce is hard to dislike.

• dash of cayenne pepper
• dash of garlic powder

Directions:  Whisk all ingredients together until smooth.
