Our Tenderloin Burger Alabama Style is an adventure in Hamburger Heaven! Tender and juicy served with our Alabama sauce then topped with a pile of Cole slaw. I don’t have any idea why they call this a “Tenderloin” burger because it is a slice of “Pork Butt” about an inch thick, tenderized, battered and grilled. We did these on our Green Mountain Grill using…
Costa Rican Coffee Glazed Pork Skewers is like a trip to the tropics, but without the cost or the sunburn. Brewed coffee is a great tenderizer for any cut of pork or beef. It also makes a rich, savory marinade and sauce with notes of rum (or extract) and molasses plus a whisper of chocolate. With a “Kiss of Coffee Smoke” from a Wedgie.…
Red, White & Blueberry Tart will make you stand up and cheer. It’s a perfect time for lots of luscious summer fruit. We used fresh strawberries, blackberries and blueberries. You can use whatever berries you like. Or, if you prefer, this would be great with sliced peaches or plums. Ken loved the streusel topping and both whipped cream and/ or vanilla ice cream. Patti…
Chipotle Orange Pork Tenderloin because the tart sweet orange in this sauce just jumps out at you followed with a smoky kiss from the chipotles and smoked garlic. We did an overnight marinade in our Chipotle Orange Sauce for a delicious, simple and easy cook with this tender pork! A great dish with a “Kiss of Smoke” for tailgating and having friends over for…
Cranberry Pecan Bread Pudding, this is a perfect dessert for camping and tailgating for those of us with a major sweet tooth. This bread pudding features the tartness of cranberries and pecans plus a sweet, crunchy topping with a mellow brandy sauce with the smoky kiss of pecan. All made even better on our Green Mountain Davy Crockett Tailgater. Patti and I have set…
Date Night Country Ribs, Patti got country style pork strips on sale and they were boneless, too. It was a great time to try out our Butcher BBQ Premium Rub. It was a little sweet, a little kicky and a ton of flavor with no MSG or gluten. We sauced these with Country Bob’s BBQ sauce and dinner was just right. Patti and I have…
Tomahawk Cheese Steaks and Lobster because Patti is originally from Philly where they supposedly know all about cheese steaks. Not anymore. We took 2 Tomahawk steaks (about 4lbs. each and 3 inches thick) and stuffed them with Mozzarella cheese, then we topped them with sauteed mushrooms and onions and then a nice "Kiss of Smoke". Ken loves his taters, but we served the steaks…
Baby Back Ribs 101, Everybody is always asking us how to do ribs. People think that there must be some kind of magic or secret recipe. The problem is that most folks tend to over think BBQ. So, we ask, what is BBQ? BBQ is when you cook Low and Slow. Grilling is Hot and Fast. No matter your heat source BBQ is LOW…
Buffalo, BBQ and Lemon Pepper Wings!!! We wanted wings this week and we both wanted something different. (As Usual) I like them on the “Zippy Side”, Patti likes them more on the “Savory Side”. I love Lemon Pepper Chicken so we did a batch of wings that way, too. Putting our new Green Mountain Prime to the test we did a cook loading it up…
Potluck Smoked Ham & Cheese Gratin was an idea of Patti’s. A friend of hers wanted an Easter dish for lots of people coming for dinner after Church. And it had to be put together the day ahead, so they could just pop in their Green Mountain Grill in a snap. I used Ken’s famous smoked cheese for an extra layer of flavor with a “Kiss of Smoke”.
Our Smokey Bourbon Bacon KC BBQ Sauce is sweet with a hint of spicy heat, a kiss of Smokey bacon and a splash of bourbon. This is a thick and rich sauce that is good on beef, pork, chicken and your fingers! Kansas City BBQ sauce is a delicious, super simple and beautiful sauce that goes well with anything on the grill. There is…
NUTAPENOS A game day Must!!! Patti’s best girlfriend, Peggy just loves our different stuffed jalapenos, especially our “rattlesnake eggs” and "armadillo eggs”. Over lunch last week she suggested, knowing how much Ken loves peanut butter, to just stuff some in a jalapeno. So, Nutapenos were born and it’s easier to say than peanut butter poppers. Wrapped with Zaycon Fresh bacon they made a fun and…
