Recipe: Smash burger sliders with mac sauce

Ingredients: Ground beef, potato roll, cheese, mayonnaise, relish, yellow mustard, ketchup, sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt.

1. Smash your burgers to your preference in terms of thinness. I like to use a plate to smash them down.

2. Season your patties with salt and pepper. Make sure you use a healthy amount of each to add to the flavor.

flip continuously3. Grill your burgers. Since they are so thin, they will cook through fast, so either flip continuously or make sure you have each side timed exactly how long you would like. Add your cheese of preference and take them off the grill.

4. Once your burgers are done, you can start making your mac sauce. In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup of mayo, 2 tbsp of sweet pickle relish, 2 tsp of yellow mustard, 2 tbsp ketchup, 1 tsp pickle juice, 1 tsp granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp salt. Mix all together to get your mac sauce!

5. Drizzle your sauce on top of your grilled smash burger and you are ready to eat! Add your favorite toppings to go along with it!

Beer of the Week: Oberon APA

Oberon is a delicious APA brewed by Bell's Brewery in Michigan. Oberon has an ABV of 5.8% that has a smooth finish with mild fruit aromas. Another beer that has a pretty cool can and packs a bold flavor that is perfect to pair with the richness of a smash burger.

Prop bet of the week: Jordan Marshall 25+ rushing yards at -113.

I was wondering how I wanted to write my explanation for this bet, and there are a few different ways I could go, but ultimately, I am going to go with the simplest one.

The reason is that Jordan Marshall is too good to be having the kind of season he is having so far. I do not know what a running game with Jim Harding calling the offense is going to look like. but I do know that it cannot possibly be any worse of a fit for a running back than Jason Beck's offense was for Jordan Marshall.

Marshall has 88 carries for 323 yards and five touchdowns this season for Michigan football. That is an average of 3.7 yards per carry, and we are about to play the 10th game of the season.

Marshall is one of the best backs in America when he is put in a position to succeed by his coaches. Feed him early and feed him often, and we should see Marshall easily eclipse the 25-yard mark. Not only will we win our bet, but I think this gives a major spark to the team. Marshall is a team captain voted on by his teammates, and I think seeing him have a big day will help rally the team. Go Blue!
