Hot 'N' Nasty

Plug It In And Rock Out!

(Scroll down to "The Playlist" and hit play before reading... works better that way!)

Remember when you first had "Rock'n Roll to go"... 8 tracks baby, Yeah! 

There was nothing better than flying down the road, rockin' out to your favorite tunes while you were blowing out your rear dash-mounted speakers. The louder the better because you couldn't do this at your parents house. 

So, in honor of the freedom of rock'n roll we're whipping up some "Hot 'N' Nasty" Chipotle Burgers, a little Bourbon Rocks and a speaker melting playlist.

Crank it up!... The pots are on!

The Plate... 

Hot 'N' Nasty Chipotle Burger 

Grab your Chipotles and let's Rock!  These little red and smokey jalapeños add a special kick to anything, so why not a burger? Add a little pepper jack cheese and your ready to roll. Oh course, if you really want to kick it up to the "Hot 'N' Nasty" level, add some grilled Poblano peppers. Now you're rocking'!

What you need... 

1 1/2 lbs of ground beef (80/20)
1/3 cup grated onion
3 chipotle peppers / minced plus 1 tbsp of the adobo sauce (available in can from your local store)
Salt and pepper
1 tsp cumin
6 good hamburger buns
6 slices of pepper jack cheese
2 advocates, sliced
1/3 cup cilantro / chopped
2 poblano pepper, roasted, seeded, peeled and sliced

What you do...

Mix up your ground beef, grated onion, chipotles, adobo sauce, salt, pepper and cumin in a large bowl.

Form into 4-6 patties.

Grill the burgers over medium heat for about 6 minutes per side.

When the burgers are almost ready place a slice of pepper jack on each one.

If you want to do the Poblanos roast on the grill ahead of time then place in a freezer bag for about 20 minutes to steam and loosen the skin. Take out of bag, scrape the skin off and take out seeds. 

When the burgers are ready place them on the buns and top with avocado, poblanos, and a little cilantro.

The Playlist... 

Hot 'N' Nasty

Ah, the three cord wonders of rock! Of course you did have some of rock'n roll's great guitar slingers... Johnny Winter, Alvin Lee and Robin Trower. Those guys really knew how to tear up a fret board. 

Always loved the intro Johnny Winter laid down on "All over now". Blew a few car speakers cranking that one up. And how about Sammy Hagar's first big break... heading up the band Montrose.

He still plays "Bad Motor Scooter" in his shows today.

We also have the classics... Zeppelin, Mountain, Nugent, Sabbath, and the kings of "three cords", Grand Funk.

Of course these are best played at maximum volume. Just be careful... they tend to make you drive faster... just saying!

The Bar... 

Bourbon Rocks

There's only one way to "Rock"!

Purists like to drink it neat, meaning that the bourbon is at room temperature, and without ice.

If you like it a little chilled try bourbon whiskey on the rocks, or with a few cubes of ice. Pour yourself a finger or two of whiskey over ice. A finger is an informal measure, and is generally considered to be about three quarters of an inch or so. Larger cubes of ice will help chill and not dilute the bourbon. 

So, choose your favorite Bourbon and rock out!
