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…
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…
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…
Chocolate Pecan Bacon Candy! Like the other bacon candies we have done this stuff is CRAZY GOOD and will be ILLEGAL when the food police hear about it! Got the idea of adding pecans from talking with Bret at Earthwork’s Supply, (Bull Racks). This is a special treat. Bacon Candy is so simple to make: sweet and smoky. Just melts in your mouth. Patti…
Simple Smoked Baloney, an easy flavorful treat for the whole family. We took a 10-pound chub of baloney and placed it on a Bull Rack tray for easy handling then brushed it with Country Bob’s Hickory & Brown Sugar BBQ sauce. We gave it a two hour “Kiss of Smoke” in our Green Mountain Davy Crockett Tailgater. Then slicing both thick and thin slices…
BBQ Kielbasa Tailgating with Davy Crockett. Who doesn’t like Kielbasa? This is a simple crowd pleaser that everyone will love. It’s great for tailgating and parties or just backyard BBQ. It’s easy to serve on buns, in a tortilla or just on a plate, not much hope for leftovers. You can make this at home and bring it with you or it’s easy enough…
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…
Smokey Pulled Pork Enchiladas were Patti’s brainstorm after Ken came home with a huge piece of pork. Ken had lots of great ideas, but Patti wanted Mexican and we both love enchiladas. With Ken’s famous smoked pulled pork and just a few other ingredients we made a great meal with lots and lots of layers of flavors. With a "Kiss of Smoke". Patti and…
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…
Easy Cheesy Potatoes with Spinach, One of Ken’s favorite meals is to throw a hunk of meat on the grill. Patti specializes on sides. To add color and make it healthier Patti added a pound of steamed spinach. Tomorrow I think we’ll use the leftovers as a base for Ken’s omelets. Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s…
