George's Fritas aka Cuban Hamburgers

Ingredients:
2/3 lb. ground chuck
1/3 lb. ground pork
2 Spanish Chorizo Sausages(ground up in a food processor)
Shoe string potatoes

Combine all ingredients, make patties and cook on medium heat as you would regular hamburgers, until done. He doesn't add salt or pepper because the chorizo has all the spices you need. You may have to turn them a couple of times because they tend to burn easily. Place on hamburger bun, top with ketchup and shoestring potatoes.

Hope you enjoy them, they make a nice Saturday lunch, at least that's what George says.

Lots of Love,

Joyce

Cuban Steak Sandwich Repost

I made this for dinner tonight. I had the steak out to cook and just had no idea what I wanted to do with it. Do you ever have days like that? Well, it was one of those days for me. I don't think I was in the mood for cooking at all. But, oh well, I got over it, and I decided just to make the steak sandwiches. Don't worry the bellies were full and everyone was happy!

To make this sandwich you'll need 1 package of cubed steak, Cuban bread, lettuce, tomato, ketchup and shoestring potato chips. Season the cubed steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Fry it in about 1/2 cup of vegetable oil on medium high heat until done. Drain on a paper towel. Cut about and 8 inch piece of Cuban bread, then cut it down the middle. On one side place the lettuce and tomato on top, on the other side place the steak (cut in bite size pieces), top with ketchup and then the potato chips. Put both sides together and cut in half.

Okay, follow me!!!

How easy peasy was that? I guess I was just in an easy peasy mood today!!! No brainer day, nothing complicated, you gals know what I mean:), and some of you guys do too!

Just making it simple once in a while!!!

Love You Gals & Guys,

Roast Pork & A Cuban Pork Sandwich

Ingredients:

1 8lb. pork shoulder picnic
Sour orange
3-4 bay leaves
Salt
5-6 whole cloves of garlic

Preheat oven to 300 degrees

Make 5-6 big slits in the pork roast with a knife so you can push salt and garlic cloves down in them. Pour salt down in each slit and then push a garlic cloves down on top of the salt.

Pour sour orange all over the roast and rub with more salt. When you think you have put too much salt on it, ADD MORE!!!! Stick 3 or 4 bay leaves on the top.

Now place the roast on a rack, fat side down.

Stick a meat thermometer in it and slow roast 5-6 hours until thermometer reads 170 degrees.

It should look like this.

Now take a piece of the pork skin and eat it!!!! Ummmm
The Cubans call it the "Chicharon"
It's falling off the bone tender!!!

To make the sandwich you take some nice pieces of meat, and cut it up like this.

Add some diced onion to it, and sprinkle some MOJO on top.

Place it on a nice piece of Cuban bread, and there you have it.

We make a tunnel in the Cuban bread by taking some of the dough out before we put the pork and onions in it.

Awesome Cuban Sandwich Baby!!!!!!!!

Now go get you a pork shoulder and make one!!!!!

Of course the pork is very good with black beans and white rice, yellow rice, yuca(cassava), plantains, moros, or just by itself. And, for my Southern family & friends, it makes a damn good BBQ Pork Sandwich. Don't worry Nana I saved you some:)

I Wish You Love & A Good Ole Cuban Sandwich With Mojo!!!!!
