Braised Short Ribs On the Jim Bowie This recipe post is an older post in honor of my friend Tony, a Vet who is still with us in spirit... This week our friend Tony came down and we wanted to do something special for his birthday. We haven’t seen Tony for about four months and he was starving for some good “Q”. Sailors are easy…
Chocolate Bacon Caramel Cheesecake, those of you that know us know that we like bacon, a lot. We saw a picture of a Bacon Cheesecake last week and have thought of nothing else. They didn’t have a recipe so we worked out one that we liked. Or let me say that everyone loved. Our crash test dummies this week were Jessie and Marcos and…
Bacony Sauteed Cabbage, Patti made this as a side for our corned beef, but Ken loves it with anything and he’s not a cabbage sort of guy. It helped a lot that Patti added bacon and Cindy Lou's Big Kahuna Seasoning. Cabbage was a great price and we knew it would be fresh and top quality because we got it from the Murrieta Farmer’s Market.…
Southwestern Stuffed Pork Burgers Southwestern Stuffed Pork Burgers, I love BIG BURGERS and thinking about doing something with pork. We found some ground pork on sale and Ken had a hankering for burgers. But, he wanted spicy and Patti wanted smoky. We stuffed these pork beauties with lots of bacon and cheddar. But, before we stuffed them we divided the meat in half and seasoned…
All American Burgers This 4th of July we wanted to do something simple All American Burgers and really tasty. We were given some seasoning rubs from Pirate Jonny’s. We found that Pirate Jonny’s Scorched Pirate Rub was a really excellent addition to our burgers. We grilled some bacon, tomatoes and sweet onion slices alongside the burgers to add more of that rich smoky flavor to…
Southwestern Mac & Cheese Southwestern Mac & Cheese, we have to laugh, of all the recipes we get asked for from gourmet to down home, what we get the most requests for is macaroni and cheese. Our date night was coming up so I asked Ken what he was in the mood for thinking he would say steak or ribs. Nope, he wanted a creamy…
Pork Tenderloin Stuffed Portabellas Pork Tenderloin Stuffed Portabellas, the pork tenderloin is one of our favorite cuts, tender and juicy. One of the only things that can make them better is having them wrapped in bacon. To our delight that’s just how they come from Zaycon Fresh. Each tenderloin is 5 ½ ozs. making for consistent cooking times. So, it’s easy to cook them to…
Western Bacon Cheese Burger Pizza Our Western Bacon Cheese Burger Pizza was another perfect marriage because one of us wanted pizza and the other had to have a western bacon cheeseburger. Patti really put the cheese in cheeseburger with a full pound of shredded Mozzarella cheese added to the two pounds of lean ground beef. Ken likes his bacon cheeseburgers with BBQ sauce so we…
P B & J Burger P.B. & J. Burger… Think about a thick, juicy burger with a square of bacon, smothered with a peanut jalapeno sauce, then topped with cheese. Oh dang, those are some very nice thoughts we’ve been having all day. We love our Char-Griller’d burgers here and are always trying new flavor combinations. The one folks complain about the most until they…
https://youtu.be/bGAFB1c6wlM Double Stacked Stuffed Burgers This is one of our "Older Videos", please be kind. It still gets the point across. Check out our newer videos, much better. New cameras, lights, skills and software... We smoke garlic all the time on the grill and tonight I took some of our chipotle smoked garlic and ground it up into a paste. I used that with more…
Smoky Mini Quiches Smoky Mini Quiches were super easy using our “Bull Rack System”. Patti needed to make a lot of them for her Women’s Ministry potluck. Our ‘Bull Rack System” let her do all of them at once. Perfect. Instead of fussing with making dough circles she used ready made crescent rolls because they were just the right size for her muffin cups. Using…
Smoky Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf How about a Smoky Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf when the days are drizzly and cold we need comfort food and nothing says comfort like a big beefy meatloaf. And nothing says ground beef that’s good enough for us than Zaycon ground beef. It’s extra lean 93/7, grass fed and fresh, never frozen, with no chemicals or additives. You can really taste the…
