												If you like a big juicy burger 
												then this recipe is for you! 
												They just don't get any better. 
												This is from my Colossal burger 
												line and its not only awesome to 
												eat its down right fun to make. 
												Get the kids involved, it will 
												be a new family fun event! 
												Mix the ground 
												beef together with the 
												Worcestershire sauce thoroughly. 
												Add in 1 tbsp chili powder and 1 
												tbsp chopped onion with 1 to 2 
												tsp pepper. In a 
												medium mixing bowl beat 1 egg. 
												Pour the beaten egg over the 
												meat and mix it all into the 
												meat thoroughly. 
												Once the meat has been 
												thoroughly mixed, form 8 patties 
												roughly 6 to 6 1/2 inches in 
												diameter. Each burger requires 2 
												patties. One for the bottom and 
												one for the top. 
												Now we need to heat up the pizza 
												toppings so they are fully 
												cooked when the burger is done. 
												In a large skillet melt a couple 
												pats of butter. Slice the 
												remaining sweet onion and add it 
												to the skillet. Slice up and 
												coarsely chop 1/2 green bell 
												pepper and add it to the 
												skillet. Next add in the bacon 
												bits and the Canadian bacon. 
												Make sure the Canadian bacon 
												stays on top the onions. We are 
												sautéing the onions and pepper  
												and heating up the Canadian 
												bacon. Once the onions soften 
												and become translucent remove it 
												all from the heat and transfer 
												it to a plate. 
												Now add the pepperoni to the 
												skillet and flash cook it on 
												high. This means quickly heat it 
												to get the grease out. Avoid 
												over cooking it. This usually 
												takes a minute. Remove from heat 
												and soak up the grease with a 
												paper towel. No greasy pepperoni 
												in these burger. Oh hell no! 
												Wipe out the skillet so its 
												clean. Put it back on the burner 
												and add the 4 or in my case 3, 
												pineapple slices. Pour some 
												pineapple juice from the can 
												over them so they pan fry in 
												their own juice. This will keep 
												them moist. Once they are hot, 
												remove them from the heat and 
												place them on the plate with the 
												onions etc. 
												 
												Now its time to Rock this 
												bovine! 
												Lay a patty down on a cookie 
												sheet or wax paper. Spoon on a 
												couple spoons of pizza sauce. 
												Spread it in a the center of the 
												patty outward leaving a 1/2 inch 
												boarder. This is to allow for 
												the top patty to stick to the 
												bottom patty when we seal in all 
												this good stuff. Now add 2 
												slices of Mozzarella, 2 slices 
												of Canadian bacon and 1/4 the 
												onions and peppers. Next add 4 
												slices of pepperoni and some 
												olives. Top all this off with 1 
												pineapple ring, 2 more slices of 
												Mozzarella and 2 to 3 more 
												spoons of sauce. Slowly lower 
												the roof on to the King Dome! 
												This would be the top patty... A 
												little bad Seattle humor there. 
												:-) 
												Once the top patty is in place 
												press the edges of the top patty 
												into the edges of the lower 
												patty. This will seal in all the 
												pizza toppings. Works your way 
												around the burger making sure 
												the two patties become one. 
												Don't leave any holes. You have 
												just built one bad MAMBA-JAMBA 
												of a burger! Follow these steps 
												for the next 3 burgers. 
												Once all 4 burgers are formed 
												sprinkle some Mad Hunky Meat rub 
												on them. Put how ever much rub 
												on as you desire. We are 
												building layers of flavor. 
												 
												Place the burgers in a smoker 
												pre-heated to 225 degrees. We 
												don't grill these works of art! 
												We slow cook them allowing smoke 
												to penetrate deep into the meat 
												and to allow the inside contents 
												to meld together in perfect 
												harmony! No I'm not crazy... I 
												just know how to Rock the hell 
												out of food. 
												Once you cook these you will see 
												what I mean. As your high 
												five-in your spouse and doing 
												the damn tasty food "happy 
												dance"! 
												Hey I like to make it fun! Ok, 
												onward with the cook. So we have 
												the burgers in the cooker at 
												225. Let them slow smoke for 
												about 2 hours. You wont need to 
												flip them. They will darken up 
												nice and don't worry if you see 
												some cheese and  sauce 
												coming out. A bit of pressure 
												builds up inside as the burger 
												meat shrinks a bit. 
												 
												When you check them for temp try 
												and use a thermometer small in 
												diameter so you don't leave a 
												big hole. Try and check a leaker 
												first. This is one that has 
												already let some pressure out of 
												the inside. 
												 
												When they reach 145 degrees give 
												them a mopping of your favorite 
												BBQ sauce. In this case I used 
												my Cherry Dr. pepper sauce and 
												it was a nice touch with these 
												burgers. 
												 
												Pull the burgers off the smoker 
												when the internal temp reaches 
												155 to 160 degrees. The cheese 
												inside should be good and 
												melted. Let them stand and cool 
												a bit because you don't want 
												your kids biting into these and 
												getting burned by hot cheese and 
												or sauce. 
												 
												That's it! Once you have tried 
												these email me and send me pics. 
												I'd like to post some on this 
												page because folks have been 
												telling me how much fun they 
												have making the colossal 
												burgers. It would be cool to 
												post some pics.
