FAT DOUG BURGER

Steps:

• Prepare the slaw: In a medium bowl, mix together the cabbage, garlic, onion, jalapeno, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, sugar, salt, Worcestershire sauce and ShaSha Sauce. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Make the burgers: Build a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill. On a work surface, combine the meats and form the burgers into 4 equal-size patties. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
• Grill the burgers over high heat until medium rare, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Place 4 heaping piles of pastrami in the pan. After 2 minutes, top each pile with a slice of Swiss cheese. Remove them when the cheese is melted; set aside.
• Pour the butter into the pan. Place the buns in the pan, cut-side down, and toast, about 2 minutes.
• Place a heaping tablespoonful of the slaw on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a burger and a mound of pastrami and cheese. Cover each with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
• In a food processor, puree the peppers, garlic, mustard and vinegar.
• Pour the puree into a nonreactive saucepan, then add the sugar and bring it to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer the mixture for 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl or juice glass, mix the flour and 1/2 cup water to make a smooth paste. Whisk it into the pepper mixture and continue to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring regularly, until it becomes very thick. Let the sauce cool, then pour it into a covered nonreactive container (such as a glass jar). The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.

PIZZA BAGEL BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and brush with the canola oil. Fry the pepperoni on both sides until curled, then remove from the skillet. Portion the ground beef into 4 hamburger patties and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Cook the burgers in the skillet to the desired doneness. Remove to a plate and tent with foil to rest. Wipe out the skillet and return to the heat.
• Place the bagels in the skillet cut-side down to toast until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Flip the bagels over and spread marinara sauce across each, then top them with cheese. Cover the pan and cook until the cheese begins to melt.
• Sandwich burgers and pepperoni between pizza bagels and serve.
