Garlicky Stuffed Patty Melts are the ultimate garlic lovers treat. We always enjoy a good burger and we love Ken’s Garlic Lovers Grilling Sauce. Patti loves patty melts because it’s not a plain old burger on a plain old bun. We made these patty melts stuffed with cheese and Garlic Lovers Grilling Sauce, then topped with more cheese and grilled onions. For another blast…
Sriracha Burger, nothing says Big Beef Flavor more than a burger made with lots of tender, juicy shredded beef. This tops the chart with the OMG factor. The Sriracha Burger is piled high with Southwestern Shredded Beef covered with Pepper Jack cheese, tomatoes, feathered red onions and drizzled with Sriracha sauce. OFF THE HOOK !!! We get a large Chuck Roll every month that…
Jalapeno Bacon Jam because everything is better with bacon! Our jam is a pound of jalapeno bacon slow cooked with apples, onions, smoked garlic, and jalapenos in to a sweet and spicy topping. Rich and savory with a little sweet heat that makes a great appetizer, topping on cheese and crackers, dogs and, of course, burgers. Awesome on scrambled eggs or toast with your…
Mom’s Texas Red Chili, Ken’s Mom loved chili and being this beautiful and awesome lady was from Texas, this was her recipe. It had just the right amount of spicy zing for Ken with lots and lots of meat. Over the years Ken has zinged it up a bit. Patti, as usual, needed to add a bit of sour cream to hers. After all, she…
Swedish Style Meatballs, the weather here has been gray and wet calling for something tasty and hearty from the stove. Our friend Brian shared a family recipe for Swedish meatballs and with his outline we added some of our magic like SteakBurger ground beef, and came up with a creamy and satisfying main dish. SteakBurger ground beef guarantees your meatballs recipe will be lean…
Taco Taters Casserole, I love Tacos, I love Taters. My love of "South of the Boarder" foods is where our "Skillet" Dinner came from, a grate one pot camping or tailgating meal! Lot's of tater tots covered with Uncle Bubba’s Shredded Beef!!! This week Uncle Bubba made some of his Shredded Beef. One of the things I like about camp is camp cooking and…
Beef Stroganoff Alfredo, the rich beef flavor of smoked tri-tip with a "Kiss of Smoke". Smoked sirloin works beautifully as well. To make it extra easy we used jars of garlic Alfredo sauce, to make it extra delicious we used Cluck & Squeal Beef Specific Seasoning. No sugar, just the right amount of herbs and spices to compliment your beef. Awesome. Plus, there’s not…
Honey Mustard Tuna Steaks were a light dinner after lots of ribs and burgers. It was a quick and easy entrée using mostly ingredients we had on hand. Patti served it with a box of cheesy broccoli rice made according to package directions but added a handful of sliced green onions for color and a few extra shakes of Loubier All Purpose seasoning for another…
Pulled Pork Breakfast Biscuit, we love nice fluffy warm, sweet and soft biscuits; with a kiss of pecan smoke they’re even better. Then, to make a “Pulled Pork Breakfast Biscuit” is just Biscuit Heaven. Truly a gift from the Biscuit Angels. Our Sawtooth Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker makes it so easy to do! Patti and I have set one night a week just for us.…
Slow Smoked Carnitas, we love anything you can wrap in a tortilla and when Juan Carlos showed us some awesome pork for .99 a pound. A dream is born… Slow Smoked Carnitas with a citrus kiss. We bought 20 pounds of Juan’s pork and used about 5 in our Slow Smoked Carnitas that we smoked for about 5 hours. It was all I could…
Southwestern Frito Pie because at our house Taco Tuesday isn’t just about tacos. We were invited to a southwestern themed tailgating party and we wanted to make something a little different and not spending much money. Plus, most of these ingredients we had on hand. Ken likes the chili cheese Fritos and Patti likes the regular, so we used both. A nice thing about…
Pepper Glazed Pork Chops were a hit! We cold smoked our chops then sealed them up and let them get “Happy” for a few days. What a treat! Pork’s mild flavor lends itself so well to rich coffee smoke and the savory pepper glaze that Patti made for us. We seasoned our chops with Loubier Italian Seasoning that just brought all the flavors together…
