Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. There was a restaurant in the late ‘70’s called Hillary’s. It was located in Water Tower Place in Chicago. I used to get a craving for Hillary burgers so I ate them often. I finally decided I knew the flavors so well I could make my own.  This is the result and it’s Z2!

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds of ground sirloin
  • ½ of a green bell pepper cut into small dice. Not quite minced. Baby chunks.
  • 1 tsp of ground cumin
  • a sprinkle of cayenne or to taste
  • 2 tsp of garlic powder
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Mix the spices and your diced green bell peppers into the ground meat thoroughly. I do this with my hands. Form into patties and grill them to your liking.

Serve them plain or with tomato and onion slices on top as well as a few raw onion rings. Lettuce on the bottom. These burgers are also fun covered in healthy onion strings. Or you can really jazz them up with cowboy onions. Now you’re talking gourmet burger!

Cheers,

Roasted Prime Rib

When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!

Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach

The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Cranberry Royale (EASY)

This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.

Chive Butter Biscuits

This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
