Before You Cook

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 antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. 

  • If using sirloin steaks, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 8-10 minutes

    Remove from burner. Drain pasta in a colander/strainer and set aside. Reserve pot; no need to wipe clean.

    While pasta cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Garlic Pepper Butter

    In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and garlic pepper. Set aside.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions.

    Pat steaks dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steaks

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add steaks to hot pan and cook until steaks reach desired doneness, or 3-4 minutes per side for medium/medium-well.

    Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

    Remove from burner. Transfer steaks to a plate and cover with foil. Rest, 3 minutes.

    While steaks cook, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Return pot used to cook pasta to medium-low heat.

    Add cream base, cheddar cheese, quesadilla cheese, 1/4 cup water, and ranch seasoning to hot pot.

    Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Add Pasta and Finish Dish

    Once simmering, stir cooked pasta into hot pot until combined and sauce is slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

    If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping steak with garlic pepper butter and slicing steak, if desired. Garnish mac and cheese with green onions. Bon appétit!
