Hunk of Meat Monday: Recipes for a crowd

What do you do when 16 adults are heading to your house for supper? I had some of my dearest friends coming over for bible study, and they got treated to the first fire up of the grill for burgers and sausage.

I know I took a lot of inspiration from last weeks link ups from Hunk of Meat Monday to find conclude the burgers would do.


Vicki over at the blest nest made a crowd pleasin' oven roasted pulled pork that had my mouth watering. But no 6-8 pound Boston butt in the freezer, so that is no on my hunk of meat shopping list.

Then my friend, Jeanette from Fencerow to Fencerow made a meatloaf with fresh pork that her family devoured. Look for yourself...devoured. Surely, my friends would love that.

But, it was dear Emily over at Zweber Farms that gave me true inspiration. Her burgers looked so good on the grill, I knew I had to make some for the crowd that was about to ascend on our home.
I started with four pounds of frozen ground beef. Well, actually five pound. Two, two pounders and then one pounder for my blue burgers.
I immediately dumped Worcestershire sauce on top of the thawed, ground beef. A good healthy dose, about two tablespoons. Then grab your seasoning of choice.

I am sure it is no surprise that I grabbed my Montreal Steak Seasoning. One of my favorite spices in the cabinet.

I added about two tablespoons. Use your judgement. And then a few shakes of chipotle Tabasco. Because everything needs Tabasco. I also tossed in an egg for good measure. I thought it was a little dry as I mixed, so I added a second later on as well.

Then I moved on to my blue burgers. Same seasoning, same Tabasco, sans the egg and Worcestershire sauce, add the blue cheese crumbles.

I added about 10 shakes of Tabasco this round and more like two teaspoons of seasoning. I used 2 tablespoons of blue cheese also.
Now, I got four patties from my one pound off beat while my husband got 12 patties from his four pounds of meat. Someone was making some fat patties. Just sayin'. Grill. Add more cheese. Try to document with pictures. However, if you are me you didn't. Oops.
But they were good.
I paired these with the PW's mac and cheese and some brocco-flower salad from 101 Homestyle Favorites (Gooseberry Patch). 

Which if you are looking for a great broccoli and cauliflower salad, this is a keeper. It has lots of bacon in it.

 And pecans too. And did I mention some red onion. Oh, I am in love.

I am eating the leftovers for breakfast.
So, what are you making this week? If you are avoiding meatless Monday like I do, please share your recipes. I need your inspiration.
