Winter here in Upper Michigan has been real nasty. I finally gave up on waiting for warmer weather and decided to fire up the grill in the subzero temperatures.

This Grilled Queso Burgers recipe is quick and simple to put together. I was looking for something a little different in a grilled burger and this seemed to fit pretty well. I used regular Rotel with green chilies but if you want to turn up the heat you can use the hot version.

Give these Grilled Queso Burgers a try they’re really good.

pickled beets recipe

pickled beets 2

One of my wife’s friends gave her a few beets from the garden, and seeing that it has been years since I have canned pickled beets, I decided to prepare a couple of jars. I used a canning recipe and decreased the ingredients to an amount suitable for the number of beets I had on hand.

I used 3 beets in this recipe about medium size – the amount of brine was just right.

Ingredients
  • 3-5 small beets
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon whole cloves
Instructions
  1. Cover beets with water and cook until fork tender; drain and set aside. After beets have cooled enough to handle peel and slice beets into ¼ inch slices. Place beets into canning jars.
  2. In a small sauce pan mix together the sugar, water, vinegar, and spices. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, and simmer for ten minutes.
  3. Pour hot liquid over the beets leaving about a ¾ inch space from the top. Top with sterilized lids, let cool and refrigerate for at least a couple of weeks before serving.
  4. Note: these are not processed so they must be refrigerated. If you wish to process them cook them in a boing water bath for 12 minutes.
