So..it is midnight.. and I'm wondering how this is gonna turn out

:rofl: Hello C&B! :rofl:

A couple may stop by at 2am... work and stuff makes it so.

I'm into the beer already and they know the scientific lab method I use for cooking.

I have burger near goin south.. and more hotdog buns than I need (from a bratwurst night).

What if I mixed an egg and some spices... some onion... and rolled the meat into .. hmm.. umm.. meatloaf dogs then grill 'em with some corn on the cob?

Whaddya think?

:hide:

1. I'd be more inclined to form the hamburger into meatballs

with a lot of spices so nobody will know it's starting to turn, cooking it completely, and serving it on well toasted hot dog buns with tomato sauce and cheese like a poor man's meatball sub.

Meatloaf logs in a bun don't sound that appealing to me. They'd have too close a resemblance to something that comes out the other end.

2. I didn't really mean meatloaf

hehe. Just the "binding" aspect of it.

The meat was good (sell by 7th). I wasn't so worried about wasting it as I was the buns.

1lb hamburger
1 egg
garlic powder
some bread crumbs
carmalized onions
S & P

lol, I couldn't wait. They are on the grill now ;)

I'll let ya know

4. You are spot on!

When I was around the age of 6 or 7 and lived in Detroit there was a restaurant (take out place) who sold burgers rolled up like hot dogs and put in hot rolls, I tell ya, they were the best. I am sure they made them like a meat loaf and rolled them. I also had extra hot dog rolls not long ago and ground beef thawed. So I did what you did ......... tasty and I actually liked that better than the flat hamburgers.

Why didn't you send me one?

5. You might look up some recipes for ...

... kifta (also spelled: kifte, kafta, kofta, etc.) It's basically a sausage-shaped spiced burger, sometimes cooked on a stick.
