Raider Red Fajita Fries because we had friends over with their little ones and the kids think of everything as finger food. And Raider Red Marinated Fajita meat always grills up tender, juicy and full of flavor. Plus, this was so easy and quick to prepare which was good because they were eaten up quickly. I did these on an old griddle tonight just do something…
Double Stacked Stuffed Burgers, we smoke garlic all the time on the grill and tonight I took some of our chipotle smoked garlic and ground it up into a paste. I used that with more bacon and Swiss cheese really stuffing these burgers full of flavor. These half pound Stuffed Burgers were stuffed with smoked garlic, onions and bacon with more bacon and then…
Chorizo Dump Chili because we had 2 pounds of Raider Red Chorizo and wanted to do something delicious. Spent the week thinking of all the different things to do with it and I kept coming back to a “Dump Chili”. I love chili and have been making it from scratch for over 45 years. Over the years I have picked up many books in my…
Bacon Wrapped Apple Pork Loin slow smoked for 4 hours, succulent and delicious. Thanks to Raider Red Meats for the best in boneless pork loin. We stuffed it with apple pie filling and wrapped it in a bacon weave and seasoned it to perfection with Butcher BBQ Honey Rub. With just a few ingredients we created a meal guests will love. Patti and I…
Alabama Blue Burger because we love blue cheese mixed in our burgers and nothing is better than having a big, beefy burger robed in our Alabama white sauce. Patti wanted to call this our patriotic burger because it was red (onion & tomato) white (our Alabama white sauce) and blue (cheese). Plus, we topped it with American cheese. I love Big Burgers and this is…
Down & Dirty Prime Rib because most folks think this cut of meat is way too expensive and way too difficult. Patti was at the market the other day to buy hamburger which was $4.35 a pound, next to it was prime rib roast at $4.77 a pound. A definite “no brainer”. Plus, our gas grill has a rotisserie. Perfect! We used our Date Night…
Bison Cheddar Burgers, I love Big Burgers and these are on the top of the list, tender and juicy with our Green Mountain Pellet Grill/Smoker. These were big and juicy burgers with lots of sizzle thanks to Green Mountain Sizzle rub. We mixed in shredded cheddar with the meat adding more than a little extra layer of flavor. Patti served it with the usual…
Shredded Roast Beef, we love the Big Beef flavor of chuck roast. There are tons of recipes you can do with shredded, smoky roast beef. There was a lot of beef here -16 pounds- that we smoked for 7 hours. It was so big that I cut it into 3 large roasts that I smoked at the same time so I didn’t need to do…
3 Ingredient Smoked Ham 3 Ingredient Smoked Ham, we've had requests for an extra easy ham dinner. So, we made a ham with just three ingredients including the ham! It was extra simple and extra delicious. The sweet comes from brown sugar. The spicy comes from the mustard. Ken prefers the horseradish or jalapeno mustard, Patti likes the spicy brown or Dijon. Patti and I…
Orange Cranberry Rotisserie Turkey on your Gasser. We brined our turkey in an Orange Cranberry Brine overnight and then we put it on the rotisserie with a wedgie for a “Kiss of Smoke”. Four and a half hours later we had an Orange Cranberry infused Turkey that was moist and delicious from the rotisserie on our gas grill. ” Slow smoked and seasoned to perfection…
Our Big Mouth Burger because you’ll open wide and say “ahhh that’s good”. We did these “Animal Style” this time. What this means is that these are done on a griddle instead of a grill grate. Then, the burgers are brushed with mustard as they go onto the “Hot Griddle”. This is a fast cook, so we gave it a quick “Kiss of Smoke”…
Petunia’s Enchiladas were to honor Petunia Pig coming for dinner and she was delicious. Two of Patti’s beautiful friends were coming over and we wanted to fix them something special. So, we cubed a lot of our smoked pig and our smoked cheese to make an easy dish you can make the day before. Patti and I have set one night a week just for…
