Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	PopEye would Love them The key to a delicious stuffed burger is making sure the filling doesnâ€™t ooze out during cooking. When you place the stuffing on a patty, leave a border so you can properly seal the burger. BURGERS 1 1/2 lb. ground beef chuck (80% lean) 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 2 cups firmly packed spinach 1 cup (4 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese 1/4 cup purchased basil pesto 4 large sesame hamburger buns, split 1 cup loosely packed arugula MAYONNAISE 1/3 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes 1 tablespoon grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese 1 tablespoon chopped capers 1. In medium bowl, gently mix together beef, salt and pepper. Using generous 1/3 cup per patty, shape mixture into 8 (3 1/2-inch) patties 1/2 inch thick. Refrigerate while preparing stuffing. 2. Place spinach in dry large saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat 1 to 2 minutes or until wilted, stirring occasionally. Drain; cool. Squeeze out any excess moisture. Chop; place in medium bowl. Stir in mozzarella cheese and pesto. 3. Mound about 1/4 cup packed stuffing in center of 4 patties; cover with remaining 4 patties, sealing edges by pressing firmly together with fingers. Gently press center of patties to eliminate mounding. 4. Heat grill. Place burgers on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals; cover grill. Grill 10 to 12 minutes or until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in center, turning once. 5. Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together all mayonnaise ingredients. Place buns on grill; grill 30 to 60 seconds or until lightly toasted. Spread each bun with 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise. Top burgers with arugula. 4 sandwiches PER SANDWICH: 785 calories, 51.5 g total fat (16 g saturated fat), 46 g protein, 33 g carbohydrate, 130 mg cholesterol, 1425 mg sodium, 2.5 g fiber -----signature----- Rudypu Candyass Lvl 250 3 School Tank UA "Talking to you is like watching a movie that doesn't make any sense"-Aimee Michael Scott LVL 103 Bow, Dwight K Schrute Lv 89UA Dexter Morgan LVL 64 Bill Compton LVL 27

	I tried the last stuffed burger recipe here (which was delicious) but none of the burgers would stay sealed. Any tips? ..and yeah they sound good! -----signature----- Lord of the Rings Online - Meneldor Server 65 Minstrel \| 65 Hunter \| 65 Champion 65 Burglar \| 5x Captain \| 4x Grd 4x Loremaster \| 3x Warden \| 1x RK Live/PSN: GydeonX

	Maybe try putting them in the fridge for a couple hours after stuffing. -----signature----- Dark Age of Camelot Galahad/Alb: Knights Who Say Ni Avrom : Arphaetus : Sallan : Eradic : Serososh WAR - Monolith/Order: Knights Who Say Ni US Navy

	Are you pressing them down with a spatula when cooking them? That would make it more difficult for them to stay together. I would never recommend that, either. Lets all the juices run out of the meat. -----signature----- http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/ "It's crazy that the board newbies think I am a Liberal and B_T is a neo-con." - Gustaive_MT "God left a very clear instruction to Adam.

	The last ones sat in the fridge for a few hours and no, no spatula. I would never force the juices out of anything I grill. I suspect, I overstuffed them.
