Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil.

  • If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using filets mignon or sirloin steaks, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

  • Add protein to meal as desired.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Place dried mushrooms in a heat-safe mixing bowl.

    Once water is boiling, transfer boiling water to bowl with dried mushrooms. Let sit, 10 minutes.

    Wipe pot clean and reserve.

    While dried mushrooms sit, cut potatoes into 1" pieces. Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave covered until tender, 4-6 minutes.

    Carefully remove from microwave.

    While potatoes microwave, cut button mushrooms into 1/4" slices.

    Mince chives.

    Peel and mince shallot.

  2. 2

    Cook the Button Mushrooms and Shallots

    Return pot used to boil water over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add button mushrooms, shallots, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pot. Stir occasionally until mushrooms are tender, 4-6 minutes.

  3. 3

    Start the Chowder

    Add flour to hot pot and stir occasionally until no dry flour remains, 30-60 seconds.

    Add dried mushrooms and mushroom water. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Finish the Chowder

    Once simmering, add mushroom base, 3/4 the creme fraiche (reserve remaining for garnish), and garlic salt to hot pot. Stir occasionally until combined, 1-2 minutes.

    Add potatoes and stir occasionally until chowder is slightly thickened, 3-5 minutes.

    If too thick, add water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Broil Flatbread and Finish Dish

    Evenly spread half the softened butter (remaining is yours to use as you please!) on flatbread. Place flatbread on prepared baking sheet and evenly top with cheese.

    Broil under hot broiler until cheese is melted and flatbread is toasted, 3-5 minutes.

    Don't text and broil! Keep an eye on oven as cheese and flatbread may burn easily under broiler.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping chowder with remaining creme fraiche and chives. Quarter flatbread, if desired. Bon appétit!
