What's up with today's title? I must confess, being as I'm a good "Catlick" and all, that I have strayed from my first spice love. Please don't tell Mr. Tony. It would only hurt him! Y'all who keep up with the recipes here know I'm always touting Tony Chachere's as the be all/end all of spicy deliciousness.
Well, today a new, younger, hunkier, tastier spice has crept in the kitchen door. Although I have trouble hanging my head too low in shame, I'd like to introduce you to the new man in my spice rack -- blawgin' buds, please say hey to Diesel!
I'll always love me some Mr. Tony, but every girl needs a little new spice in her diet, and we all know variety is the (say it with me) spice of life! Now, really, can you blame me for straying?
I thought not! :D There's room for all three of us in the kitchen, right? The Diesel's seasoning is silky fine, and left a nice little afterburn on the tongue without choking off my airway. LOL. In other words, it is goo-ooooo-oood!
Besides being the son of fellow blogger Karen Evans, here's a little more about the man behind the Diesel's brand:
Diesel's Seasonings was created by Dave "Diesel" Evans who earned the nickname Diesel while serving in the Marine Corps. He started his passion for mixing ingredients while serving overseas and eating the same old MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) day after day. Dave started experimenting by mixing different items from different MREs to create new and better meals for him and his fellow Marines.
After leaving the military, Dave "Diesel" Evans continued his pursuit to make better food and is currently attending culinary school to further his foodie passion. He has tapped into his Cajun roots to help bring out the best spice and herb combinations to go with every meal. With permission from his beautiful wife Melissa, he created Diesel’s Seasonings.Hooooweeee! See what I mean? Now, on with the recipe using Diesel's Hamburger Spice Blend. {My vegetarianistical friends, you know you can substitute tofu, TVP or ground turkey, so don't tell me no comments about the venison. LOL}
Diesel Injected Bambi Burgers
1 lb. ground venison
1/2 lb. ground pork (or pork sausage or ground beef)
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup fine chopped onion (Vidalia or purple, if possible)
1 teaspoon Diesel's Hamberger Spice Blend
A drop or two of Liquid Smoke
