INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Lbs. ground sirloin beef (90% lean)
  • 2 pks. taco seasoning
  • 12 oz. beer

For The Potatoes:

  • Preheat oven to 400F.  Using a fork, poke holes in the potatoes.  Using as many pieces of foil as you have potatoes, spray each piece with non-stick spray.  Salt the foil then wrap each potato and bake for 1 hour.

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large saute pan, saute onion & garlic until translucent then add in the ground sirloin and brown (you won’t need to drain the 90% lean beef).

2. Add taco seasoning in the same pan the beef was cooked in along with beer and beef base.  Stir & simmer to incorporate.

3. For the fully prepared taters, prep with a sharp knife.  Cut an X in the top of each potato.  Press the ends of the potatoes toward the middle to open them up.

4. Top with cheese, taco meat, more cheese, onions, and garlic

5. Serve with salsa and/or sour cream, even guacamole would be an option.  Then you decide, go crazy!

 

Toppings

  1. Guacamole, chopped green onion, chicken/bacon/ranch, sour cream & chives, caramelized onions, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes.

Juicy Lucy 6 Pack

Juicy Lucy 6 – Packs, Sliders 6 at a time.

An original recipe from Chef William Cornelius & Buehler’s Fresh Foods

 

Juicy Lucy Video

INGREDIENTS

Pregame on the burgers:

  • 2 ½ Lbs. ground sirloin
  • 1 Tbsp. sea salt
  • 2 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 tsp. granulated onion
  • 2 tsp. granulated garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 12 – 1 ½” square chunks Deli American cheese, ¼” thick
  • 6 slices Muenster cheese
  • 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese

Bacon Burger Sauce:

  • 1 C. bacon crumbles, oven baked at 400F for 6 minutes, drain on paper towel, allow to cool for 10 minutes
  • ½ C. mayonnaise
  • ½ C. Thousand Island dressing

Build Da Burgers:

  • 12 brioche slider buns/snowflake rolls
  • 3-4 large leaves of green lettuce
  • 2-3 tomatoes, sliced thin (Roma tomatoes are perfect!), need 12 slices
  • dill pickle
  • *onion jam (optional)

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 450F.  Prepare a 13×9” non-stick sheet pan.

2. In a large bowl, combine the ground sirloin, salt, pepper, granulated onion, granulated garlic, Worcestershire sauce then mix well until all ingredients are completely incorporated.  Divide the mixture in half.

3. Press half of the ground sirloin mixture into a thin layer on the sheet pan.  For first layer of cheese use the Muenster then place 12 chunks of American in place where the center of each slider would be.   Leave room around the edges to press and seal the next layer of burger.  Cover with the remaining slices of cheddar.  Press remaining beef on a sheet of parchment paper to create the rectangle.  Do this by placing another sheet atop and pressing into desired shape.  Place top burger sheet over the cheddar then seal the edges.

4. It is a good idea to put a larger sheet pan below the slider pan before you are off to the oven.   Now bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until cooked through.

5. As the sheet pan burger cooks, mix together the mayonnaise, cooked bacon, and Thousand Island dressing to create the Burger Sauce then set aside.

6. Place bottom layers of slider buns on a cutting board and dress with lettuce then spread Burger Sauce on the inside of the top layer of buns.

7. When the burger is done cooking, drain off the oil.  Using a large spatula (or two) place the burger on the bottom buns.

 

Last Step For Sliders

1. Spoon a dollop of Onion Jam in the center of each slider then a slice of Roma tomato on top of the dollop.  I find it easier to cut the bottom and tops separately with a big ol’ knife.  After cutting bottoms with burger, give each slider a little room on the cutting board.  Top off your 6-Pack Juicy Lucy Sliders with a pickle topped bun using a sandwich pick to keep things together!

The Power of Cauliflower!

5 Ways to Enjoy the Power of Cauliflower

By Healthy Living Consultant Annette Maggi, MS, RDN, LD, FAND

No matter what eating plan you follow (plant-forward, low carb, Mediterranean Diet, Whole 30), cauliflower is the perfect vegetable to include with just 20 calories and 4 grams carbohydrates per half-cup serving. Buehler’s offers a variety of forms – everything from riced cauliflower to whole heads to tots and hashbrowns – making it easy to add this powerhouse veggie to your weekly menus. Here are five ways to enjoy the power of cauliflower:

Roast the Whole Head: Trim and clean a whole head of cauliflower. Mix garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper into a cup of non-fat, plain Greek yogurt. Place cauliflower on lightly greased baking sheet. Spread generously with yogurt-spice mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Taco Tuesday Tortilla Take-Over: Make veggie tortillas by first cooking about 4 cups of riced cauliflower (available fresh or frozen at Buehler’s). Put cooked vegetable into lightweight kitchen towel, twist towel to remove moisture from cauliflower. Mix cauliflower with two eggs, salt, pepper, cumin and Cheyenne pepper. Mound ¼ cup scoops onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper and use spatula to flatten into circles. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-9 minutes, flip tortillas and cook for another 8-9 minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite taco fillings.

Cauliflower Steaks: Trim and clean a large, whole head of cauliflower. Cut into 1-inch thick slices. Lightly brush each side with vegetable oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes, flipping once during process. Serve topped with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese, pesto, or chimichurri sauce.

Cauliflower Mac and Cheese: Cut head of cauliflower into florets. Toss lightly with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast on baking sheet at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until tender and crisp. Heat ½ cup 2% milk with one tablespoon butter just to warm. Slowly add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, stirring to create cheese sauce. Toss cauliflower with cheese sauce and serve.

Global Rice Options: For Greek-inspired rice, cook and cool cauliflower rice; add chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, onion, parsley, and feta cheese and top with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice. As a side for Asian dishes, cook cauliflower rice with garlic, scallions, red bell pepper, fresh ginger, frozen peas, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Add Sriracha for a heat kick. For a Mexican flare, cook cauliflower rice with garlic, jalapeno, onion, cumin, paprika, chopped tomatoes, cilantro and lime juice.
