First couple of nights at the new house

Bow-tie pasta with Chicken
Anita was kind enough to cook the first night while we moved stuff in.
She did a chicken pasta with red sauce. Pretty standard. Pretty good. It was an Eva request. We've gone through pasta before. I'm sure you've made pasta before.

The second night I did hamburgers. I was wanting something simple and, luckily enough, Anita requested them at the same time I was thinking them. I did these a little special.

Blackened Inside-out Cheeseburger with Roasted Red Pepper and Sweet Potato Chips

Cut a red pepper in half, de-seed/vein, and place halves, skin side up, in oven on broil. Let 'em go til black. Remove from oven and place in a plastic bag or bowl covered in plastic for ~ 10 min. Remove skin and slice into strips.
While your pepper is in the oven:
Fine dice some onion and garlic. Add to the meat with salt, pepper, and a little more granulated garlic and onion powder. Mix well.
Form patties. Add shredded cheddar to the center of each pattie, fold over and reform so that now you have cheese on the inside.
Cover top and bottom of the patties with blackened seasoning.
Cook on stove-top to desired doneness.
After first flip, cover the pattie with roasted red pepper strips and cheese so it can melt over it while it finishes cooking.

Strips of avocado would have also gone nice with this, but they didn't have any ripe ones in the store.
Bacon would've been good too, but I was out. I did, however, have some bacon fat left over from when I cooked it that morning. Did I maybe douse the patties with a little while they were cooking? What do you think?
They were delicious.

Sweet Potato Chips
Peel and slice these bad boys as thin as you can however you can. I had an attachment to a food processor that did the trick. I had to cut them into funky shapes to make them fit through the aparatus. A little messy, but it worked.
Heat up some canola/vegetable/peanut oil on ~ medium heat. You're looking for around 325F. I don't have a thermometer that reads that high, so I always have to guess at my heat. Especially when I'm in a new house with a new stove.
Fry 'em in batches for a couple minutes til crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. eat.
