And it was a happy accident. Haven't been able to find my McRib mold since moving. Daughter said "Why not do it smashburger style?" Freakin' brilliant!
Formed ground pork patties into a rectangular shape, seasoned with my Baba Yaga Rub, and tossed them on the griddle. Then proceeded to smash them down with my rectangular Blackstone press. Once done, assembled onto a hoagie roll, with patty, smoked gouda (which I hit with the torch to get nice and melty), another patty, homemade pickles, onions, and some Franklin's BBQ Sauce. Side was some homemade fries off the super-bougie Harbor Freight potato press deep fried in some smoked beef tallow. And of couse, a Miller Lite. I didn't get any pictures during the cook as I was fighting off these god-forsaken lovebugs the whole time, but here's the completed shot.
And one of the homemade pickles I got before heading outside.
Really wanted to eat outside, but had to move back inside and the lovebugs must REALLY like McRibs. They are a pox on SE Texas right now....not a fan.
