Smoked Bacon Onion Rings, this is our fourth time in making these Bacon Onion Rings. Not only are they good just as they are as appetizers. We are topping burgers and steaks with them and filling the ring with other goodies like sautéed mushrooms. Next week we are doing Filet Mignon steaks and topping them with Bacon Onion Rings and filling them with blue…
Maple Bacon Glazed Pork Breakfast, one of the things I have always loved to do was create AWESOME and hearty camp meals that will be remembered for years. This is most definitely one of those. I have to laugh because thinking about camp meals I can remember eating a cold can of chili in pouring rain, and liking it… Pork sirloin are a camp…
Chile Relleno Burger combined Ken’s love of big burgers and southwestern food. We made these using chile rellenos from our favorite taco shop grilled on our Sawtooth Grill along with 1/3 lb. hamburgers and seasoned with our Chef of the Future Southwestern Seasoning. Topping them with our own Zesty Guacamole and Salsa Verde. Pure Burger Porn!!! We served our Chile Relleno Burger with homemade…
Pork Loin Chops with Creamy Mushroom Sauce, we found some nice pork loin chops. We had all the things we needed to make a creamy, delicious mushroom sauce and the addition of Chef of the Future Seasoning was just the perfect seasoning for the chops. Gave them a "Kiss of Smoke" then served with a creamy mushroom sauce and mashed potatoes…you’ll want to try…
Chipotle Beef, we love good rich beef flavor, then add the smoky influence of the Southwest. I am in heaven. The tortillas were tougher than the beef. In a sauce made from fresh peppers, onions and tomatoes from the Murrieta Farmers Market along with chipotle peppers it was multiple layers of awesome. Hot enough for Ken and mild enough for Patti. There are so…
Green with Envy Chili Verde, Ken has been a chili cooking expert for well over thirty years! We usually make it red and hot. But, we were craving a green chili with the heat of Serrano, red pepper flakes and jalapeno peppers and the tangy goodness of lots of tomatillos. Of course, we added plenty of fresh garlic. Pork sirloin made the meat especially…
Poblano Stuffed Chicken, we love Mexican style food and anything covered with enchilada sauce and cheese, Poblano Stuffed Chicken. The only question is tangy green sauce or zippy red sauce. As just about everyone we always have boneless, skinless chicken breasts on hand when friends drop unexpectedly in for dinner. Patti bought a tub of jalapeno cream cheese and built this recipe around it. Both…
Buffalo Chicken Nachos, we made a new Buffalo sauce and have been thinking I need to do some nachos. Here’s the story… I took some boneless chicken breast a shredded it. Then placing it in a bag with some Buffalo sauce to get happy for a day. Then onto a HOT griddle to sear it for some nachos. Topping it with salsa, guacamole, 2…
Uncle Bubba’s Texas Terror Meatballs, on the Zippy side of things and you can experience the terror of Uncle Bubba’s Texas Terror BBQ sauce. A little zippy with a "Kiss of Smoke" and a lot addictive. Great as a tailgating treat or camping and the big game with your beverage of choice. Patti and I have set one night a week just for us.…
Piggy Pops!!! Oh Man These are GOOD! I just wish we had thought of these when we were cooking at the Farmer’s Market. I know we would have sold out of these every week!!! Patti made a lemon pepper sauce that was an awesome “Dipping” sauce and was a great marinade. We took some chops, cut them in half and put them on lollipop sticks…
Pepper Crusted Rib Roast was Ken’s idea of a Father’s Day treat and our furry kids agreed. Patti ordered a 4-bone 8 ½ pound rib roast from Texas Steak Warehouse. So, we all knew it would be tender, juicy and delicious. We seasoned it with a thick pepper crust, and we served it with "Ken’s Chuckwagon Baked Beans". A celebration dinner that would be…
Garlic Pie, if you LOVE garlic this is for you. This pie is packed with 3 cups of garlic, ½ pound of bacon and almost a pound of cheese… All the major food groups, you can serve it as a main dish or as a side with a good steak. I like doing them on GMG pellet grill so I can set it off with…
