Chipotle Butter

By Vanetta

A dab of this spicy, creamy butter on a tender steak, burger, or corn on the cob is all you'll need for super flavor! Even slather on crusty bread and grill or broil until golden for your family - they'll love it.

I use this on everything. Fish, veggies...and just got a brainstorm to put it on popcorn. Woohoo!

(Adjust the heat by adding or taking away some of the pepper.)

Ingredients

• 1/2 c butter, softened
• 1-2 canned chipotle peppers, diced (seeds removed, if desired)
• 2 Tbsp sauce that comes with the peppers
• 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 Tbsp chopped, fresh cilantro
• Dash garlic powder

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl whip the butter, with an electric mixer, until smooth and fluffy. Add the minced peppers, chipotle sauce, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic powder. Whip until incorporated. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover and chill. (The longer it sits, the deeper the color and richer the flavor.) Just before serving put a teaspoon of the cold butter on cooked steak or burgers and allow it to melt over the top. For bread, leave softened for easier spreading.
