Easy! Just tell her it&#8217;s for making dinner. I used grass-fed beef from <a href=\"http:\/\/interlakemeadowsfarm.com\" target=\"_blank\">Interlake Meadows Farm<\/a>\u00a0and to complete the Bloody Mary theme, horseradish cheddar from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bothwellcheese.com\" target=\"_blank\">Bothwell Cheese<\/a>. As for the hot sauce, a Louisiana-style sauce such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baumerfoods.com\" target=\"_blank\">Crystal<\/a> provides an excellent balance of heat and flavour. I don&#8217;t always drink vodka when I&#8217;m cooking, but when I do&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time: 25 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Serves: 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<address>2 Roma tomatoes \u2013 seeded and diced to \u00bc\u201d<\/address>\n<address>1 stalk celery \u2013 diced to \u00bc\u201d<\/address>\n<address>2 tablespoons vodka<\/address>\n<address>1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce<\/address>\n<address>\u00bd teaspoon kosher salt<\/address>\n<address>\u00bd teaspoon fresh ground black pepper<\/address>\n<address>1 pound lean ground beef<\/address>\n<address>1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce<\/address>\n<address>1 clove garlic \u2013 very finely chopped or crushed<\/address>\n<address>4 tablespoons cheddar cheese \u2013 grated<\/address>\n<address>4 small lime wedges<\/address>\n<address>\u00a0<\/address>\n<p><strong>Preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a suitable bowl, mix the tomatoes, celery, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, \u00bc teaspoon of the salt and \u00bc teaspoon of the pepper.<\/p>\n<p>Preheat a heavy cast pan on medium.<\/p>\n<p>In another bowl, knead together the beef, remaining \u00bc teaspoon each of salt and pepper, hot sauce and garlic, being careful not to over-mix. Form the mixture into eight equal patties. Place a tablespoon of cheese onto the centres of four patties.
