Are you ready for some football? Jr. had the boys over, plus one!, to watch Monday Night Football. Football, guys, and a roaring fire = BURGERS! I was contemplating a girls' night in (me, myself, and Twilight!) and when I declined the initial invite, I could tell he wanted either my help or company...or both! Before I left my house, I told him to call me if he needed me to pick anything up.
Ring-ring: Could you get slaw mix, the good ranch dressing, and feta? And firewood!
Ring-ring: Could you pick up some jalapenos and cheese too!
Typical. (smile!)
The boys started the fire, Jr. was making burger patties, and I made the slaw. Jr. inherited this recipe from his buddy Quiet Ben, hence the name: Quiet Slaw. It is understated, yet complements any meal. I don't remember the score of the game, but this simple dinner received rave reviews!
Quiet Slaw:
1 package slaw mix
1/3 or to taste good ranch dressing, from the produce section
1/2 container feta, or to taste
a good squeeze lemon juice (I forgot this one, and Jr. did not include it on this grocery list, I think it can be omitted!)
lots of pepper
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Chill.
Jr. Hot and Spicy Burger's
1 93/7 ground beef patty (that's what was on sale)
1 slice cheddar cheese
sliced onion
jalapenos
whole grain mustard
toasted bun (I opted for no buns)
The cool, creamy slaw and spicy burger make for a tasty combination!
