15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through him and for him.

17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.

2 lbs Pork butt, cut into chunks, fatty pork is best

1/2 t cinnamon 

1/8 c olive oil

1 T roasted Garlic 

1 T Salt

1/8 c Eagle brand condensed milk

1/2 small can Coke

Water to cover

Cover, bake 1-1/2 hrs on 400 degrees.

After 1-1/2 hours, may need to add more water if pork isn't tender enough and cook 30 minutes longer.

Crisp up in oven with lid off or on flat top.

The toppings are a must!!

This is on the sweet side in taste so it needs the saltiness of the cheese, the heat from salsa, the freshness from cilantro and the bite from the onions.

Chop, serve on fire roasted flour tortillas with fresh chopped cilantro, sliced red onions, crumbled Queso Fresco and salsa verde

Fried Eggplant Smashed Sirloin Sliders

Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways!  - Psalm 128:1

What can I say, delicious!! 

The taste is like a fried green tomato on a burger!

Sirloin meat, enough for 2 burgers, season with seasoned salt

Drizzle of olive oil

Toasted Slider Buns, I used Publix bakery dinner rolls

Fried eggplant 

Thin sliced Tomatoes and onions

Yellow mustard 

Melted Cheese placed on bun, I used sharp white cheddar

Mash the seasoned burgers, you want them to hang off buns. 

In a skillet, on medium high heat, fry in oil.

Heavily weigh down foil covered patties with a press or small cast iron skillet.

They cook really quickly. 

Assemble with trimmings!
