LOOZIANNA CAJUN "TURTLE-BURGERS"

Steps:

• 1. *PRE HEAT OVEN TO 400 DEGREES. Season 2 pounds of ground beef with Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. You could also use the lower salt or salt free versions. The spice is what is needed. About 1-3 teaspoons per pound, but adjust according to your family's taste and salt requirements or restrictions.
• 2. After seasoning, pat out by hand, the ground beef patties, about 8 ounces each, and form into oval turtle shell shapes.
• 3. Slice each hotdog in half lengthwise. Then cut each hotdog in half. Use 1/2 a hotdog for each head, tail, and leg, cutting slits into the ends of the "legs" to make the turtle "toes" and insert them into the turtle body patty. Use the wooden toothpicks to hold the head, legs, and tail in place.
• 4. Top each one with one slice of sharp cheddar cheese. Place flat on platter and chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• 5. Remove from refrigerator and wrap and weave each patty with bacon strips to enclose the cheese slice and form the shell. Use toothpicks to hold the strips of bacon if needed. The wood toothpicks should hold the head, legs, and tail in place.
• 6. Place on a rack in a 2" deep baking pan/dish which has been lined with foil. *It's better if you place them on a rack, so that the excess grease drains off while the turtle-burgers bake. It also makes the turtle shells crunchy.
• 7. Bake at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the patties.
• 8. Remove from oven and let rest on a platter for 10 minutes prior to serving.
• 9. These a cute when served on a plate of dirty rice and surrounded by a bed of leafy green lettuce.
• 10. A little crispy-crunchy... kind of spicy... just how a good turtle-burger should be! I'm talkin' bout good, yeah!!!

REDNECK TURTLE BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
• 2. Make four good-sized hamburger patties, nice and round and thick. Top w/ single slice of sharp cheddar cheese (this is optional, if you don't want cheese).
• 3. Wrap each beef pattie in bacon strips, making a basket weave as you go. Cover entire pattie.
• 4. Next, take the hot dog halves and make turtles' legs, head and tail. Cut the one for the tail at a diagonal on the end, so the tail looks "pointed". In the legs, put a few tiny 'slits' in the ends, so they will look like feet w/ claws after they bake.
• 5. Line a baking sheet (with sides on it!) with foil, and place a baking rack over the foil. Arrange your "turtles" on the baking rack.
• 6. Cook for 30 - 40 mins., in your pre-heated oven. A little crispy, not too crunchy ... just the way a turtle ought to be, right?
