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.)
