Special RAPTURE Edition BBQ!

There is nothing better than sunshine when the world is predicted to end. Alas, Harold Camping was wrong but it still gave me an excuse to BBQ delicious things at an End of the World food feast.

In the spirit of the event, I made burgers filled with ingredients one should eat on their last day on Earth.


Makes about 4 burgers
- 1 lb. ground beef (80/20 or 75/25 for moister burgers)
- 2-4 tbs. gorgonzola cheese
- 1 tbs. sun-dried tomatoes
- Adobo seasoning to taste
- chipotle powder to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1. Chop up the sun-dried tomatoes into 1/4 inch or smaller pieces.
2. Mix up beef with 1 egg. Knead so the egg gets absorbed into the meat.
3. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, breadcrumbs, and all seasonings. Knead again to mix well.
4. Finally, add the cheese (which should be super crumbly) and mix carefully so the cheese doesn't melt all over your hands. Form into burger patties. (Hint: use your knuckles to depress the middle of the burger to accommodate how the burger middle inflates during grilling.)
5. Grill it up, then serve on a bun spread with homemade chipotle mayo.
