I love a flavor balance of sweet, smoky and a hint of spice. And this is why Pomegranate Chipotle Sauce is one of my absolute favorite products from Tastefully Simple. It is the first sauce I can honestly say I tried on a whim prior to becoming a consultant and fell in love with it. The forward notes of the pomegranate lead to the smokiness of the chipotle and then the finish of a little kick to the throat. Yes, that is all good in my book.
Every once in a while, I will make a meal completely centered on a particular flavor or product and most recently, this was about the aforementioned Pomegranate Chipotle Sauce. We fired up the grill for some classic burgers (seasoned simply with Garlic, Garlic and Onion, Onion); cut sweet potatoes into thin slices for a "chip" effect, baked them in the oven with Ultimate Steak Seasoning; and tossed together some romaine lettuce and grape tomatoes. By now you are thinking, where does the sauce come in? That is where it gets real good, the sauce topped each item off!

This was once again a very simple and quick meal to pull together. Burgers: take preferred ground meat for burgers, mix with Garlic, Garlic and Onion, Onion to taste (I used 2 Tbsp of each for 2.5 pounds of ground beef), patty to about 1/3 pound and grill. Sweet potato chips: slice sweet potato into 1/8 inch slices, spray with cooking spray or drizzle with Roasted Garlic Infused Oil, sprinkle Ultimate Steak Seasoning on both sides, bake at 350 degrees until done. For the salad, toss together your favorite ingredients that make a light side to a summer meal. And again, finished each as pictured above, with the Pomegranate Chipotle Sauce.
