Hello My Hy-Vee Friends!
With the cooler weather finally beginning to appear, my
wanders to pumpkins, falling leaves and of course, tailgating! I never did understand the appeal of football (my college stopped playing football in
1923) but tailgating is another matter! Sitting with family and friends,
eating, laughing, grilling...now that’s something I can get into!
While tailgating can be elaborate, it doesn’t have to be. You can purchase a few of my signature dips such as Jalapeno Popper or Crab Rangoon,
grab some of our tasty mini gourmet cupcakes, make a few simple sandwiches (like the one below) and you are good to go!
Roast Beef, Bacon and Blue Cheese Sliders:
1/3 cup horseradish sauce
8 (3-inch) Hawaiian King slider buns, sliced in half horizontally and toasted
8 ounces thinly sliced Dilusso roast beef
1 cup caramelized onions
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
Divide the
horseradish mayonnaise among the tops and bottoms of the buns (about 2 teaspoons
per bun). Divide the roast beef among the 8 bottom buns. Top each slider with
caramelized onions, blue cheese, bacon and place the top bun on.
Happy tailgating my friends. And as always, praise the Lard!
-Chef Alex
