St. Paddy’s Irish Nachos, we love nachos for appetizers, snacks and sometimes for dinner. Our friend Peggy Fairweather came up with the idea of combining nacho toppings over potatoes. She knows Ken is a meat & taters kind of guy. So, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day we made nachos with some of our Shredded Chuck Roast, French fries and a topping of food coloring green tinted sour cream. Tasty and festive! Grate for tailgating too…

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme.  Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

Backyard BBQs
A Wood Pellet Grill Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes at 400 degrees (205c)
Grill: Green Mountain Grill/Smoker
Pellets: Green Mountain’s Texas Blend BBQ Pellet

Ingredients: St. Paddy’s Irish Nachos

• 2lbs. smoked chuck roast, shredded
• Swimmin’ in Smoke “Booty Shake” Rub & Seasoning
• 24 ozs. bag frozen steak fries, cooked
• 2 ½ cups Colby-Jack cheese, shredded
• Green onions, to taste, sliced
• Fresh avocado, sliced
• Sour cream, tinted green with food coloring, optional

Directions: St. Paddy’s Irish Nachos

On lightly greased cast iron individual skillet layer potatoes (seasoned with Swimmin’ in Smoke). Top with shredded smoked chuck roast. Sprinkle on cheese and you’re ready for the GMG. Keep in mind that you are just melting the cheese so you’ll be on the grill for about 15 minutes @ 400 degrees (205c). When your cheese is nicely melted pull your skillets and top them off with your cold goodies. Simple, easy and really good!

Note: We did the roast before hand on the GMG, you can use a crook pot, also.

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

Cooking In the Oven:

We have been getting requests for recipe conversions for the Oven. I tell folks all the time that cooking on a Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker is just as easy as cooking in your oven. Just about anyone can do it and do it well. Think about it. You set your control knob to the temp you want, put your meat in and leave it for a set time. It is the same thing, time and temperature is what it is all about. The Green Mountain grill is just like your oven except it uses wood pellets and has wheels. I do 15 minutes here at 400 degrees (205c)

About our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion and Do What You Love,
Ken & Patti
