Texas Tube-Steaks

And, no we don't mean hot dogs! New Yorkers like coney's and Chicagoans their Polish Sausages, but in Texas it's beef babyee, in this case it's the classic hot dog, only SteakBurger style! You'll be hooked on the first one.

Here's what you need:

1 lb SteakBurger beef
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, chopped fine
4 slices of bacon
2 jalapenos, sliced (Remove seeds & membrane for less heat)
1/2 cup Velveeta cheese, melted (optional)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Mix chopped onion, garlic and cheese with raw beef by hand. Divide into fourths. Roll each fourth into a tube the length of a hot dog bun. Place slices of jalapeno on top of each roll, then wrap bacon around roll from one end to the other placing toothpicks at each end to hold bacon.

Place on grill and cook until done (I like to cook until the bacon is crispy). Enjoy with your favorite toppings. Besides the usual toppings of ketchup and mustard, we also like any of the following; shredded cabbage, crushed potato chips, barbecue sauce, salsa or pico de gallo, avocado or guacamole).
