Mainstays 1.5 L Grease Pot (Walmart)

Photobucket
I bought this at Walmart to use as a water heating pot for hiking and camping. It is lightweight aluminum. Seems adequately made. I think it was $6.

I just wanted something to put water in and heat it up on the trail. I acquired it back in late November of 2012, and promptly set it in a cupboard.

(I originally wrote this post back in March of 2013, but never posted it for some reason).

Guy Fieri Pepperoni and Mozarella Beef Patty

I was grocery shopping at Walmart earlier and saw these for sale. The pepperoni and mozzarella burgers were priced at $2.50 for six 1/3 pound burgers. The other varieties were a lot more.

However, since just regular hamburger is now more than $1.25/lb, I figured I would give them a try and bought a box.

I fried one up when I got home. Pretty darn good.

Only 4 carbs per patty.

Not much on the web about them. I did find this:

I snipped this from the above URL.

I haven't found any nutrition information for these on the web so I took this lousy cell phone camera picture of what the box says.

I have also noticed that the burger is thick enough that it does not cook all the way through when using the same heat settings as with regular 1/4 frozen burgers. I usually either cook it at a lower temperature or put it in the microwave and give it a partial cooking before frying it up.
