Instructions

1) Kick back and open a bag of Synder's of Hanover Jalapeno Pretzel Pieces while enjoying a glass of your favorite Sutter Home Wine. After all, we are taking a trip to the "Bayou." Be sure to reserve the 1/3 cup of Jalapeno Pretzel Pieces from the bag before they totally disappear! 2) To make Bubba's Crunchy Remoulade Sauce, combine the crushed Snyder's of Hanover Jalapeno Pretzel Pieces with the celery, scallions, fresh flat leaf parsley, Grey Poupon Deli Mustard, mayonnaise, chili sauce, garlic, horseradish root and spicy cajun seasoned salt in a medium sized mixing bowl. Whisk well and chill. 3) Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. 4) To make Bubba's Burgers, combine the ground chuck, Boudin Sausage, garlic seasonings, flat leaf parsley, and spicy cajun seasoned salt. Mix well avoiding over handling and compacting of meat mixture. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form into patties that approximate the size of the rolls. 5) Prepare and reserve on a separate plate the tomato slices, roughly chopped romaine lettuce leaves and sliced Monterey Pepper Jack Cheese. 6) When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. 7) Place the patties onto the oiled rack, cover and allow to cook until they are brown, approximately 3 minutes. Turn the patties over, cover and allow them to cook until they are brown, approximately 3 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, add the cheese slices, cover and allow the cheese to melt. Once the cheese has melted, place the rolls, cut side down on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly. 8) To assemble the burgers, place 1 Tbsp. of Bubba's Crunchy Remoulade Sauce on top half of each toasted roll and 1 Tbsp. of Bubba's Cruncy Remoulade Sauce on the bottom half of each roll. Add a Bubba Burger to each of the toasted roll bottoms, place a tomato slice on top of each burger patty with equal portions of the roughly chopped Romaine Lettuce on top of each of the tomato slices. Add the roll tops and serve immediately. Makes 6 Big Bubba's Bayou Burgers.
