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 ground beef, break up until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add pepper and onion mix and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tender, 5-7 minutes.

    Transfer vegetables to a plate. Keep pan over medium heat; no need to wipe clean.

  2. 2

    Cook the Turkey

    Add ground turkey, garlic salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Break up meat until no pink remains and turkey reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 7-9 minutes.

    Stir in BBQ sauce, tomato sauce, and vegetables until combined, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While turkey mixture cooks, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Toast the Rolls

    Place another large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Working in batches, add rolls, cut sides down, to hot pan. Toast until slightly browned, 1-2 minutes.

    Reduce heat to medium. Transfer rolls to another plate. Wipe pan clean and keep over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Make Cheese Sauce and Finish Dish

    Add bacon to hot, dry pan used to toast rolls. Stir occasionally until crisp, 1-2 minutes.

    Add cream base, green hatch chiles (to taste), and 2 Tbsp. water. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir in cheese until melted and combined, 1-2 minutes.
