Liven Up Your Next Cookout: Peach Bourbon Jalapeno Jelly Burger with White Cheddar + Caramelized Onions

Another burger recipe, because we just couldn’t NOT share it. So many asked us about the Kentucky Derby Winning Burger and I loved hearing how much you loved it once you made it! We all know Asa is the Chef behind everything and I’m the lucky one who gets to indulge in his creations after I take pretty pictures! For your Twinning Tuesday, we are sharing a new burger favorite: Asa’s Peach Bourbon Jalapeno Jelly Burger with White Cheddar and Caramelized Onions

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp Butter (separated)
Red Onion-Thinly Sliced
Good Buns (We prefer Pretzel or Brioche)
1 lbs Kentucky Cattleman’s Ground Beef
1 Cup Peach Jelly
2 oz of Bourbon
1 Jalapeno Minced
1 Cup Shredded White Cheddar
Salt and Pepper

HOW TO MAKE IT:

Start by putting your thinly sliced red onion into a sauce pan with 1 tbsp butter and a pinch of salt. Over medium heat cook until the onions are a deep brown color and fully caramelized. Stirring occasionally as the cook. This will take approx. 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium sauce pot, add 1 tbsp butter and jalapeño and sautéed over medium high heat. Add to that the jelly and the bourbon and whisk to combine. The jelly should be rather thin at this point. Continue cooking over medium high heat until the jelly has thickened and reduced. Approx. 5 minutes. Set aside and allow it to cool.

Portion out the Cattleman’s ground beef into three equal portions. Form into patties and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Grill over medium high heat until you have achieved your desired doneness. Add the shredded white cheddar to the top of the burger in the last minute or so to allow time for it to melt.

Assembly: Lightly butter and toast the top and bottom buns. Place the bottom bun, burger and cheese down. Top that with the caramelized onion. Add a generous portion of the peach, bourbon jalapeño jelly to the top bun and set onto.

You will definitely liven up your next cookout with this burger recipe! It’s savory, sweet AND spicy, and don’t forget to use Kentucky Cattlemen’s Ground Beef to make it! The quality of meat DOES matter and I promise your burgers will always be better with this brand. PS: nope, this wasn’t sponsored. We just love it that much ;)

The Best Layered Dip You Need this Summer

Don’t you love a good 7-Layered Dip?! It’s SO easy to make and everyone loves it. I mean c’mon, layers of creamy and fresh ingredients spread into a 9x13 pan, how simple can a recipe get? Throw some tortilla chips on the side and you have perfect dippers to pair alongside it.

This dip has seven (obviously) layers to it and creating them was super quick and easy. Here’s what the layers are:

• Refried beans

• Sour cream (mixed with cream cheese and our newfound friend Dano’s Seasoning [found at Kroger just like the rest of this!])

• Guacamole

• Salsa (drained)

• Cheese

• Green onions

• Olives or tomatoes

Jalapenos and cilantro are also great toppers for this Mexican 7 layer dip, you can simply get creative and have fun with this.

This dip was a hit in our household and I may or may not have taken a HUGE portion for lunch the next day and then had MORE the following night. This will be GREAT to take to family functions this summer, potlucks, holiday parties, you name it. All of our ingredients were found at our local Kroger, including the Dao’s Seasoning (which is SO good, Y’all!!)
