Cozy Food Friday 

That means it's time to share a recipe from 

another great cozy mystery!

Today I'm featuring a recipe from

TROUBLE AT THE KENNEL

Book 9 in the Cedar Bay Mysteries

by

Dianne Harman

Seven time Amazon All Star author Dianne Harman with her latest book in the best selling Cedar Bay Cozy Mystery Series 

Mike, the sheriff of Beaver County, Oregon and his wife Kelly, the 

owner of Kelly’s Koffee Shop, have just returned from a fly fishing 

trip to Cuba. On the drive home from the airport Mike gets a call 

informing him that the owner of Doggie Love Kennel, where they had 

boarded their dogs when they were in Cuba, has been murdered. To make 

matters worse, all of the dogs in the kennel, including Rebel and 

Lady, have been released and are running loose in the surrounding 

area. They immediately begin to search for their dogs as well as 

trying to determine who killed Mary Barnes. 

They have plenty of suspects to choose from: the druggie kennel 

employee; the owner of the award winning Yorkie that was impregnated 

while staying at the kennel; the disgruntled head of the Pit Bull 

Sanctuary who was instructed by the owner of the kennel to get his pit 

bulls off of the property within twenty-four hours; the impoverished 

woman whose property is next to the luxurious kennel and is jealous of 

the dogs being boarded there; the kennel manager; and her husband who 

has anger issues. Will Mike and Kelly find the killer before the 

killer comes after them? And what about the dog named Skyy? Is she 

cute enough to make Mike rethink his decision to only have two dogs? 

Can she worm her way into his heart?

On to the recipe!

KILLER DOUBLE/DOUBLE

CHEESEBURGERS 

(MAKES TWO)

Sauce Ingredients:

¼ cup catsup

½ cup mayonnaise

1 tsp yellow mustard (use the prepared, not the powder)

2 ¼ tsp. sweet pickle relish

2 ¼ tsp. dill pickle relish

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp. white wine vinegar

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. sugar

Directions:

Stir the ingredients together in a medium bowl and set aside. Sauce

can be kept refrigerated up to two weeks. (I 'Dianne' use it on all kinds of

sandwiches.)

Cheeseburgers and Topping Ingredients:

½ lb. ground beef (try to get as close to 80/20 ratio as possible. I

           sometimes have to mix two different packages of ground beef together

           to get the right ratio)

8 iceberg lettuce leaves

4 large tomato slices

½ yellow onion, thinly sliced (separate them into rings)

4 slices American or Swiss cheese

4 soft white hamburger buns (I use the cheap plain ones - no sesame

           seeds, onion, etc.)

¼ tsp. salt

Heat a griddle or a heavy skillet over medium heat until very hot.

Measure out 4 two ounce patties and flatten to about ¼ inch thick.

Toast the cut sides of the buns on the griddle. Cook the burgers on

one side for about 45 seconds. Flip them and put a slice of cheese on

each one, frying them for an additional 45 seconds. Remove from the

heat.

Assembly:

Put a tablespoon of sauce on the bottom and top sections of the bun.

On the bottom of each bun, put two lettuce leaves, a cheeseburger, a

slice of tomato, onion rings, and then the second burger. Enjoy!

My Book Beginnings and Friday 56

 for this week are also from 

TROUBLE AT THE KENNEL

Book Beginnings on Fridays is a meme hosted by Rose City Reader

Share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading

My Book Beginnings

"Mike, our trip to Cuba was amazing. I'm so glad we went. I still can't believe I've been to Italy and Cuba, and in both places, I got involved solving a murder! I wonder what the chances are of something like that happening. The only down side was that it involved a lot of travel. Kind of a hurry up and wait at all the airports. I can't seem to sleep on an airplane, and last night was no exception." 

The Friday 56 is a meme hosted by Freda's Voice
