For lunch, I tried the Cracker Barrel sharp cheddar and bacon mac n cheese. It's miles better than Kraft but still meh

I love the Sharp Cheddar one.

Blackened tilapia, baked potato w/fixins & broccoli.

Made steak fajitas last night. Nailed the veggies. Steamed them for a few, then fried them. Then baked some banana bread.

Fajitas is one of my signature dishes. I love making them, and have just about perfected it.

My kids absolutely love fajitas. If you guys come back up to Denver, try Hacienda. They have delicious fajitas. The meat is cooked so freaking perfect!

I like fajitas as well but I prefer mine without banana bread.

What are butter burgers Gem? The video in the link wouldn't work for me.

Regarding fajitas: I coojked at a tex-mex place when I was young. I have been making magnificent fajitas ever since.

Turkey and all the fixins.

Let me see if I can get the recipe up here for you.

Ingredients

Compound Butter:
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh basil
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
Pinch cayenne pepper
2 large cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Roasted Garlic Aioli:
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
11 small cloves garlic, roasted and chopped

Burgers:
2 pounds fresh ground beef or four 8-ounce Angus beef patties
4 slices cheese
4 large burger buns
Directions

For the compound butter: Stir together the butter, basil, parsley, tarragon, cayenne and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap in a 6-inch-long mound. Fold the plastic wrap over the mixture to enclose it, and roll it to form a log about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
For the roasted garlic aioli: Blend the mayonnaise, lime juice, paprika, cayenne, cumin and garlic in a food processor until smooth.
For the burgers: Preheat the oven to broil.
Form the ground beef into 4 patties. Stuff a slice of the compound butter inside each and broil the burgers to the desired doneness. Add another slice of the butter to the top of each burger, followed by a slice of cheese. Broil briefly, just until the cheese melts.
Serve on buns with a small mound of the aioli on top of the cheese.

I still have 1 and a 1/2 of the compound butter left over, so you can cut that in half. I made 6 burgers. I also had a ton of the aioli left as well, but I've used it on other things like a turkey sandwich.
