Uncle Bubbas Texas Chili, a full, rich and savory chili. With a “Kiss of Smoke” and cocoa. The meat was so tender that Patti said, “You could cut it with a look”! Lord, women scare me to death! Uncle Bubba took his “Smoke Daddy Cold Smoke Generator” with “mesquite” pellets and smoked the seasoned beef for 2 hours, then a 5 hour cook the…
“Poor Man’s” Burnt Ends are “Off The Hook”! Burnt ends are Meat Candy. Burnt Ends are normally made from Brisket and that can be very expensive. But, as Larry Wolfe showed us you can use chuck roast. Patti got me an 8 pound Chuckie, that’s a lot of good meat for the smoker. Patti and I have set one night a week just for…
NY Strip & Shrimp we were planning on just throwing a NY Strip on the grill then I learned it was National Shrimp Day. So, Patti made up some skewers to go with our steaks. We did up some smoked garlic and onions in our Lodge personal skillets and grilled avocado to round things out. Patti and I have set one night a week…
Texas Sliders, Honey Bourbon Brisket, with spring coming and folks gearing up for Tailgating and camping we wanted to come up with something to “Knock Your Socks Off”. Well, we did it. What do you think about a Honey Bourbon Brisket slider? Thought we would go big with a Texas Slider. It’s rich, meaty and off the hook good. We took a 14 pound brisket…
Southwestern Beer Can Burgers, we have been seeing folks post their beer can burgers for the last few weeks, all of them looking good. We wanted to take it to the next level by adding a “Southwestern” twist to it. We started with the very best ground beef: Zaycon Fresh ground sirloin and blending that with some beef chorizo for 1 pound burgers with a…
BBQ Chuck Roast Sliders, we love the BIG BEEF flavor of a chuck roast with a "Kiss of Smoke". With game day and tailgating season coming up BBQ Chuck Roast Sliders sounds like a “Win Win” to us. This cook was fun because I got to use a 10-cent yard sale treasure, Grandma’s old roaster. Big beef flavor in a slider with smoked garlic,…
Smoked Chuck Roast, a few weeks ago we did some Burnt Ends and Pieces, it’s been on our mind ever since. They were so good I had to make them again. Patti got me a nice “chuck roll” and I cut an 8 pound roast off of it. We put it in the Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker for 5 hours along with some grill…
Zippy Jalapeno Burgers, Ken loves big beefy burgers with a spicy bite. So, Patti came up with Zippy Jalapeno Burgers with a southwestern flair. It was easy with canned, pickled jalapeno slices and our Chef of the Future Southwestern seasoning. This was a ½ pound burger topped with pepper jack cheese, a bacon square and drizzled with Jalapeno Green Salsa. It was a “Big…
Brisket Tacos, brisket was on sale this week. So, we picked up about 35 pounds of Big Beef Brisket! We thought we would step away from the traditional smoked brisket you see everyone doing. We wanted to show how you can do so much more with all that “Big Beef” that will have everybody coming back for a second helping. You can feed a…

We even came up with a “Tex-Mex Seasoning” and a sauce that you’ll love on many things all with a…
Uncle Bubba’s Taco Bowl. We did these on a camping trip, but they are great for tailgating or friends over for dinner. You can spice these up or tone them down as each bowl is individually put together. We went “South of the Border” with these. Note: You can do your “Shredded Beef” at home and bag it up for easy camping and tailgating…
Brisket Mud Pie, I love pot pies, the flaky crust a rich sauce with “Big Chunks of Beef”! Add a “Kiss of Smoke” to that and I am speechless… We used our little GMG Davy Crocket tailgater to make a camp meal every will remember… We thought we would step away from the traditional smoked brisket you see everyone doing. We wanted to show…
