Apres Ski Burger Recipe

Apres Ski Burger Recipe

In a recent article that I wrote for www.mademan.com, I was asked to create a burger worthy of the title "The Kickoff Classic." Knowing that this burger had to reach epic proportions, I went right to the beer can burger category and began planning how I wanted to stuff this gargantuan hamburger.  Making a burger worthy of this title required more that just onions, mushrooms, cheese, etch. This burger needed something bigger so I went with pulled pork and macaroni and cheese as the fillings and it turned out pretty amazing. Having completed this project this past weekend, it dawned on me that this beer can burger is not just for a football Sunday and would also be a worthy apres ski meal. Filled with pulled pork and macaroni and cheese, it is the perect combination of protein and carbs that your body desires after a long day of gnar shredding.  Below are the recipes for the pulled pork and the macaroni and cheese. For the full recipe visit www.mademan.com.
