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

  • If using 20 oz. ground beef, follow same instructions as 10 oz. ground beef, making four burgers instead of two and stacking to serve.

  • If using ground turkey, follow same instructions as ground beef in Step 3, cooking until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes per side.

  • If using Impossible burger, follow same instructions as ground beef in Step 3, cooking until burger is heated through, 4-6 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut potatoes into 1" dice.

    Coarsely chop cilantro (no need to stem).

    Peel and halve shallot. Slice thinly.

    Halve poblano pepper lengthwise, seed, and slice into 1/2” strips. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

  2. 2

    Roast the Vegetables

    Place potatoes on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 tsp. olive oil. Spread into a single layer on one side.

    Place poblano on empty half and toss with 1 tsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt. Massage oil and salt into poblano. Spread into a single layer on their side. Roast in hot oven until starting to brown, 10-12 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven and gently toss both vegetables. Sheet will be hot! Use a utensil. Roast again until browned and tender, 15-18 minutes.

    Toss or gently combine roasted potatoes with seasoning blend until coated.

    While vegetables roast, cook burgers.

  3. 3

    Cook the Burgers

    Form ground beef into two evenly-sized 4"-diameter patties. Season both sides with ¼ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tsp. olive oil and patties to hot pan. Cook until browned, 4-6 minutes on one side.

    Flip patties, and top with cheese. Cook until cheese is melted and patties reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Remove burgers to a plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shallot

    Return pan used to cook burgers to medium-high heat.

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil and shallot to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tender, 3-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Toast Rolls and Finish Dish

    Place rolls directly on oven rack in hot oven and toast until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping bottom roll with burger, shallot, poblano, bacon, BBQ sauce, and top roll. Top potatoes with cilantro. Bon appétit!
