Chipotle Nachos
Patti and I have been working on a few treats to serve at a Super Bowl party. Sounded like some fun with plenty of good beer involved so we jumped right on it.
Thinking something smoked off the grill would be a good start for anything we came up with like Chipotle Nachos made with a smoked beef roast. Patti says I put too many chipotle peppers in the cheese sauce. You must know my reply to that by now: “never happen”. So, we had his & hers cheese sauce.
I seasoned the meat after stringing it with Jac’s Tailgaters Smoken Dust Chipotle Seasoning, nice touch.
For this recipe I am not going to tell you how to do your meat, just that it needs to be shredded. I found both beef and pork do well on the grill or in the crock pot. Season the nacho cheese and “you be styling”. Do this to taste, I did 3 peppers to two cups of cheese. It was good, zippy for Patti’s taste. But for me I think I do 4 or 5 peppers.
Quick, easy and gooooood, either for an appetizer to share or a main course.

About Our Recipes
We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Louisiana, Green Mountain, Memphis, Royall, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.
The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can even do some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.
Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste.
Take it and run with it….
Live your Passion,
Ken & Patti
