Deano's Southwestern Jalapeno Bacon Cheddar Burger W/ Avocado and Mushrooms

This is as easy to make as a regular cheese burger. The crushed Deano's Jalapeno Chips give this burger a great jalapeno flavor without going over the top. Often when we cook with these chips the flavor is different than if you were to eat the chip by itself, it mellows out and gives you a very nice chili flavor and level of heat.

Ingredients

1 pound burger
1/3 to 1/2 bag of Deano's Jalapenos crushed (any flavor)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cheddar slices, we prefer a good Vermont cheese such as Cabot Cheddar, X-Sharp
4-6 slices of thick cut bacon, Vermont Smoke and Cure
1 Avocado
6 Button mushrooms,Sliced and Sauteed
2-3 fresh roasted green chili's if possible or canned
Lettuce, Tom and onion
Good hamburger buns

Pre heat your grill so it is nice and hot. A hot grill will sear the out side of the burgers and help keep the juices in. Warm grills are for slow cooking and melting cheese.
In a bowl mix burger and crushed Deano's Jalapenos pinch of salt and a quick grind of black pepper, mix well.

Place burgers on grill, at the same time I like to grill my bacon. This can be very tricky because the bacon fat likes to catch on fire. so you can make a plate out of tin foil with little side to keep the fat off the grill. It's much safer that way. If you are not good with a grill, DO NOT GRILL BACON.

Watch your bacon

Melting Vermont X-sharp cheddar and fresh roasted green chili's

As burgers are getting close to desired doneness turn down heat on the grill, place green chili's and cheese on the burgers. I like to grill my buns at this time as well. Warm up your sauteed mushrooms and slice your avocado. A little L,T,O. and your almost done. Put it all together and don't forget to put a couple of un-crushed Jalapeno chips on top for a one of a kind garnish. I doing this with a little Kraft mac and cheese. Stay tuned for our homemade Jalapeno mac and cheese If you would like to see how we roast our green chili's, here's a video of how we do it in Vermont. http://youtu.be/11io-JC_pIQ

Perfect!

Sheppard’s Pie

This is a favorite at our Restaurant, The Cactus Café in Stowe Vermont. We’ve adapted this recipe by using some items you can buy in the store in order to save time. Such as frozen corn instead of cooking fresh corn and cutting it off the cob or the beef gravy.

South Western Sheppard’s Pie:

Ingredients:

• 1-2 pounds of ground beef, you can substitute ground turkey
• 1 onion. diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, diced
• 10-15 mushrooms, sliced
• Beef gravy, homemade or jar or from packet
• 1 table spoon chipotle peppers in adobo’s sauce, diced
• pound bag of frozen corn or fresh cooked and cut off the cob, about 8 ears
• 4 potatoes diced
• 1 table spoon butter
• ¼ cup milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Shredded cheddar

Directions:
Cook ground beef and remove from pan. Leave fat from beef in to sauté the onions, garlic and mushrooms. Drain off any excess fat (or make homemade gravy with that). Combine beef and onion mixture with gravy and chipotle’s, mix well.

Boil a large pot of water and add potatoes. Cook until tender and mash with butter and milk. Salt and pepper to taste Cover to keep warm.
In a casserole dish with non stick spray add beef mixture then layer corn and mashed potatoes in that order top with cheddar cheese and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes add Cheddar cheese and Deano's Jalapenos Ranch flavored chips and put back in oven until cheese is melted.

At the Cactus Café our South Western Sheppard’s pie is made from scratch and we also serve it in a fried flour tortilla bowl with fresh greens tossed in olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper around the base.

Spicy, Crunchy Baked Salmon over grilled Aspargas by Chef 'n with Deano's Jalapenos

Spicy, Crunchy Baked Salmon on Grilled                                   
Asparagus                                                          

Here is a fairly simple recipe you can make with few ingredients.This is a light summery dish that looks and tastes great.

For salmon;
4  6oz.-8 oz.pieces of fresh salmon filet, or one large piece, boneless, skin on
2 Egg whites (you can substitute with a good mustard whole grain brown)
1 Bag of Deano's Jalapenos, any flavor
1 Cup seasoned bread crumbs

For Asparagus;
1# Asparagus, trim bottoms
2 Tbl Spoon  olive oil
Sail and pepper to taste
Boiling water to par cook Asparagus
3 Lemon cut in half

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees and set grill to med heat

Pat dry Salmon with paper towel and keep refrigerated.
Put Deano's Jalapenos and bread crumbs in a zip lock bag and crush jalapeno chips until fine, mix well. Put bread crumb mixture on a plate and spread evenly.Whip the egg whites until they have soft peaks. Lightly spread enough whites on skinless side of salmon to use a as glue for the bread crumb mixture. Take salmon filet and push egg white side into crumb mix and repeat with all pieces. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil or spray with food release. Place salmon on baking sheet skin side down and cook for about ten minutes. Rotate and cook until salmon until medium doneness is achieved. While salmon is cooking you can go ahead and start the asparagus. Par cook the asparagus in lightly salted boiling water for about 1-1/2 minutes depending on thickness, I prefer thin stalks, and cool under cold water or preferably in ice bath. When cool pat dry and sprinkle with olive oil until coated and salt and pepper to taste. Grill until they have nice grill marks, do not over cook. Use remaining oil and coat cut sides of lemon and grill until they have light brown grill marks. Arrange asparagus like a raft and place salmon on top and garnish with grilled lemons. Enjoy!
