Cast Iron Blueberry Coffee Cake because it’s triple digits in the shade. But we still wanted a sweet treat after Church. Plus, big beautiful blueberries are at their peak. Using our Green Mountain Grill and a can of biscuits Patti had an “aha” moment. Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something…
Cowboy Up Brisket Beans Cornbread, this week Patti brought me a beautiful 12 pound brisket. Brisket is an area where I have needed more practice. I think my problem is that I have been over thinking it. My last one was my best so far and this passed it with even more rich beefy flavor, tender and running down your chin juicy. Patti loves…
Bacon Bourbon Pork Sirloin Chops, Off the Hook!!! Patti picked up these beautiful chops and I wanted to try something a little different. Thinking I would put a cast iron griddle on the grill and see what happens. The Bourbon Bacon sauce caramelized nicely, adding a ton of flavor to these moist and tender chops. We did these on our Louisiana Grill/Smoker with Mountain Maple…
Smoked Garlic Skillet, I love smoked garlic, and it only gets better with sweet onions and bacon. This is a recipe you can only do if you are slow smoking. The garlic takes an hour and a half to cook. I have been doins a “Garlic Skillet” for some years now and I find I like it best just as a simple side. I almost…
Carne Asada, Let’s Roll, I love anything you can wrap in tortillas and Patti found some marinated carne asada at the Mexican market on sale and I could not resist. The thing I like most about doing carne asada is that you can go in any direction you can dream of with different salsas, peppers and cheeses for topping. Patti and I have set one…
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…
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”…
Video Southwestern Chicken Skillet because we had friends visiting and they wanted something different made with chicken, cheese and bacon. Patti and I kicked this recipe around for about a week. Doing different skillets, pans, peppers and sauces. When we came to what we wanted to do I was a bit excited to “Get er Done”, thinking this was going to be good! Using…
Patti’s Pot Licker BBQ Beans, I will never admit that there are baked beans as good or better than mine. That said, Patti put together some BBQ beans this week that will make the strongest of us a “Pot Licker” … These are good both Hot or Cold and would be great tailgating or camping. She took some Raider Red Chile & Cheese…
Simple Seafood Mac & Cheese was perfect for a potluck we were going to. It will also work for a delicious Lenten recipe! We used three different kinds of seafood, you can use a combination of your favorites in any amounts you like. To make it really interesting we used Butcher BBQ Savory Pecan Seasoning and a “Kiss of Smoke” with Pacific Pellets Mountain Maple.…
Barnyard Meatloaf because meatloaf is one of our best loved recipes and we couldn’t decide on what meat to use, so we used all of them. A combination of beef, pork and lamb and so the chickens didn’t feel left out we added an egg. We did this as a tailgating recipe on our Green Mountain Grill Davy Crockett Tailgater, so much more interesting than…
Chicken Tenders "Guest Chef Saffron". Although some people think its too much effort in breading/crumbing, personally I think it is totally worth the effort to make your own camp chicken tenders. They are easily cooked in a skillet over fire or gas chicken tenders are a great camping or tailgating choice, and can satisfy the fussiest, fast food loving kids. Originally it is likely that…
