I bought the ingredients so I can cook this tomorrow. I've never bought fresh horseraddish. It looks like a big root. Should it? And do I grate or just chop up in small pieces?
This is in the oven right now...I'll let you know tomorrow if the wooshie fairy came...I actually made the recipe according to the original version except for the onions cause I forgot to buy them at the grocery store!!! LOL !
I'm by no means the worst cook in the world, and by that, I mean that I'm worse than the worst work in the world. I made this tonight, and maybe I made the patties too thick, but the middle of the pie was still pinkish, so it ended up having to get cooked an additional 25 mins. Anywho, It was ok...assuming I made the thing correctly (getting back to the worst cook in the world thing) I'm hoping for a whooshie tomorrow!
I dont use any measuring spoons but I estimate that I used about 2 rounded tbsp of chili powder, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp of cumin, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder for a 2.25 lb package of 93/7 ground meat. The cream cheese has about 2/3 cup plus 1 tsp oregano mixed in. I think next I will put a layer of roasted poblano peppers between the meat patties next time.
Next will be an italian version and maybe a kicked up creole version.
The hardware is a Infinity 38 super open gun. Infinity firearms is a very high end custom gunbuilder that specializes in custom competition guns. I was offered a position on the Infinity shooting team 2 weeks ago, so I am now an officially sponsered shooter now. Check out www.sviguns.com and you can see the hardware.
Since I am a bit of a cook myself I decided to make this recipe with a southwestern twist. I made my own taco seasoning with Chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and a little onion powder and mixed it into the ground meat. I mixed salsa (with no sugar) with the cream cheese along with some mexican oregano. I used a square baking pan and cooked it for 55 minutes like the original recipe calls for. I served it with a cup of salad with a little cubed avacado and a lime vinegarette dressing that I made. My wife topped hers with a spoon of sour cream that I skipped since I am on induction.
It was outstanding so give it a try if you like southwestern food.
Oooh, now yours sounds really good! Can I ask how much of each for your taco seasoning??
Also, off-topic...What have you got there for hardware in your avatar?

I may have gotten a nice weight loss from this recipe (1.5#) but I also ate more food which may have been a factor. I may not have been eating enough prior to yesterday.
What may work best is just cooking a hamburger pattie and topping it off with this mixture, then nuking it a bit. It'll be easier to figure out the amount I'm eating, too. Trying to add it to FitDay accurately was a pain. And I'm stuck with leftovers that I'm already getting sick of. One more meal out of it today.
I made this last night at 1st it was a bit strange by the 3rd bite i thought it was okay. I've never been nuts about horseraddish i think that's the thing it you did not like horseraddish you would not like this. I did use the sause as a pork rinds dip it was tasty. I CAN NOT stand mustard i made it without that. It is something I will make again. Don't know if i got a woosh from it won't weigh till tommorw.
There was a lot of grease from the meat swilling around and carried much of the cream cheese mixture with it. I think next time I'll bake the two patties, remove the "juice", then add the mixture to them. OR, after cooking the patties and removing the "juice", just top each one off with half the mixture, bake it a bit more, and then eat them.
It also needed more horseradish. I had added one more teaspoon than the recipe called for and I still wanted more "kick" to it.
As a note, the cream cheese mixture is close to a potato chip dip our mom makes. Much more horseradish as well as worchestershire sauce was added to it. From what I see on the bottle I have, worchestershire sauce isn't Atkins-safe.
In any case, that cream cheese/horseradish mixture would be good on celery!
Now to see if I get the "whoosh" from this meal...
