Double-Stacked Juicy Lucy Burgers

Double Stacked Burgers

If you can get your mouth around this burger it is well worth the effort.  Easy but perfect and best enjoyed sitting in a comfy spot on your boat with a fun group of friends and/or family and a cool beverage in your other hand.

Ingredients
1 (8-ounce) block sharp Cheddar cheese
8 slices bacon
3 pounds ground beef chuck
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat or oil
4 hamburger rolls, split
Lettuce leaves, for serving
Tomato slices, for serving
Onion slices, for serving
Ketchup, for serving
Mustard, for serving

Special Equipment: a 3 1/2-inch round cookie cutter

Directions
1. Cut the Cheddar into 8 (1/4-inch-thick by 11/2-inch-wide) slices. Cook the bacon in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat, turning until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain. Reserve the skillet and 2 tablespoons bacon fat.

2. Turn the beef out onto a sheet of waxed paper and divide into 16 (3-ounce or generous 1/3 cup) mounds. Press 1 mound into a 3 1/2-inch patty (using the cookie cutter as a guide) and top with some cheese, then put a second mound of beef on top, patting it onto other patty to enclose the cheese. Pinch the edges together to seal and shape into a single patty. Make 7 more burgers in the same manner, then generously season the burgers with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the reserved bacon fat or oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat until hot. Cook the burgers in 2 batches, covered, turning once, about 8 minutes for medium.
4. Put 2 burgers on the bottom portion of each bun and top with bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, and mustard, if desired. Serve.

Curried Cranberry Turkey Salad

Curried Cranberry Turkey Salad

This is a refreshing, English / Indian-inspired twist on leftover turkey — a nice change of pace after a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Dried cranberries take the place of more traditional grapes and lend a little contrasting sweetness, and cilantro and lime play out the tropical theme. Using more yogurt than mayonnaise keeps the salad light.  (Substitute lowfat Greek yogurt for regular lowfat yogurt to avoid the draining step.)
Serves 2 to 4

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.
