Castle Sauce

Bills Hot Dogs - Washington NC

Bill's Hot Dogs in Washington, NC is a stop every lover of the American frankfurter on a roll needs to make at least once in their life. Place sells only dogs, chips and soft drinks (they offer Coca-Cola in the small, old-time-style, curvy bottle). The dogs are bright red (from a dog maker in Clayton, NC, me thinx), deep fried, keep hot in oil on the steamer top. "All the way" means with chili sauce, onions and mustard. The chili sauce is unique and very spicy. Best I can tell, it is made from a base of cooked white (northern) beans that are pureed, and then seasoned with salt and lots of white pepper. The dogs costs less than a buck each. Place is open for breakfast, and I've been there at 9 am having to wait in line!

Black Bean Burgers

I'm sick of hamburgers...grainy dead cow flesh, speckled with pure fat...don't know where the name came from anyway, duh...ham=pork, and I'll bet you the first hamburger was made out of sausage...blech! But on the otherhand, there is the joy of serving up the american favorite on a bun with lettuce, tomato, and all of the other goodies...well, black bean burgers work for me, see if they work for you!


Ingredients

1 can(s) (15 to 19 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoon(s) light mayonnaise
1/4 cup(s) packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon(s) plain dried bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon(s) hot pepper sauce
Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup(s) loosely packed sliced lettuce
4 (4-inch diameter) mini whole-wheat pitas, warmed
1/2 cup(s) mild salsa


Directions

1. In large bowl, with potato masher or fork, mash beans with mayonnaise until almost smooth (some lumps of beans should remain). Stir in cilantro, bread crumbs, cumin, and pepper sauce until combined. With lightly floured hands, shape bean mixture into four 3-inch round patties. Spray both sides of each patty lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Heat skillet over medium heat until hot. Add patties, sprayed side up, and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. With pancake turner, turn patties over, and cook 3 minutes longer or until heated through.
3. Arrange lettuce on pitas; top with burgers then salsa.

RO'S Barbecue Slaw

Personally, I think this is probably one of the nastiest tasting recipes I have ever run across. At the same time, it is a staple here in the Gaston County area. They sell it in the Grocers, Convenience Stores.....People put it on everything edible. The most sickening combination is with BBQ. It just so happens that I ran across someone that had a close connection with the family at one time or another and let the secret out. After comparing the two, I'd say you can't tell the difference.
