Big Beefy Wet Burritos We had a silly thought of going out to dinner for Mexican food. Why ever would we do that when we do it so much more to our taste! Using our Zaycon Fresh ground beef we knew we’d make the best extra lean, meaty, top quality big beefy burritos. Filled with all the goodies we love including the carne asada seasoning…
Radical Short Ribs Radical Short Ribs, we found some beef short ribs on sale and that was all we needed to make our mouth water. Patti picked up 3 pounds of them and the rest is delicious history. Thinking we would do a long braise with a bit of a Hawaiian twist with crushed pineapple and Dr. Pepper for the sweet, plus a little pecan…
Date Night Bacon Cheeseburgers Sometimes when you think of your meal choices only a big, juicy bacon cheeseburger will do. Ken really, really wanted this for our date night. Patti could have not agreed more! This time we used good old American cheese, but we love the options of Swiss, blue, Cheddar, provolone…any flavor you like works. We also like a lot of crispy bacon…
Grilled Chimichangas We love southwestern style food, all the heat, colors and flavors. Plus, we just enjoy the word chimichanga. (Say that fast 3 times) Lol. Patti found a package of a variety of coarse ground meats. So, we made chimichangas with pork, beef and chicken using Chef of the Future Southwestern Rub & Seasoning for medium heat and huge taste. We used some of…
O’Brien’s Corned Beef Casserole We love big dinners with friends. For this St. Patrick’s Day Patti made three corned beefs, one just for the leftovers for this casserole. This is one of our “Love the Second Time Around” recipes. Most of it can be made ahead of time and makes a great brunch as well as dinner. Using our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven makes it…
A Chipotle Orange Glazed Bacon Wrapped and Stuffed Pork Loin, Off the Hook We had friends drop in that we hadn’t seen in sometime. Well before long we were talking about BBQ and what’s for dinner. Patti had just picked up a couple of packages of pork tenderloins so that is what we ran with and definitely scored a touchdown. This is a supper main…
SteakBurger Stuffed Potatoes Our friend and crash test dummy Robin was coming for dinner and it was raining. We wanted to do a “Rainy Day Recipe”, something quick, delicious and kid friendly. So, when our nephews come for dinner, we’ll be ready. You can make everything ahead of time and just pop it in the oven or grill until hot. Huwa Reserve, our friends and…
Reverse Sear Rib Eye The Louisiana Sidebox Cold Smoker puts an easy twist on “Reverse Sear” grilling. It is a clean addition to any of the LG and Country Smoker Series of Louisiana Grills/Smokers. It is very easy to set up and start your smoking. Just start the grill, set the damper until you get the smoke flow and temperature you are looking for. Too…
Onion Bacon Burger Chipotle Cheese Topping How about a great burger packed with bacon and smothered with grilled onions and topped with a zesty Chipotle Cheese Sauce? Patti made up some burgers and mixed chopped bacon into them. Just added tons of that smoky bacon flavor. Tonight, to add a little more “special”, we made a little Chipotle Cheddar Cheese Sauce. Hamburger Heaven! Onion Bacon…
London Broil with Creamy Peppercorn Sauce Twice Baked Potato and a Garlic Skillet There is nothing like the rich beef flavor of a good London Broil. We know that this is a low cost cut of meat that folks tend to over think when trying to prepare. Patti and I love the juicy, robust flavor. After a hard day of work this is as quick…
London Broil with Bacon Gravy Nothing says huge beef flavor like a good London broil. On sale this week and Patti picked up a big thick one. A lot of folks have trouble with this cut and it comes out tough. But it is a simple cut to grill. Simply put: it needs to be grilled, “Hot and Fast”. We made bacon gravy to top…
Patti’s Firecracker Chili We had 3lbs. of stew beef and a few ideas. Stew, for instance, but that included veggies Ken doesn’t like. I suggested chili and was scoffed at because Ken is the chili master…a well deserved title. But, today I actually impressed him with my first from scratch chili. Woo Hoo! Lots of smoky heat and tender meat. Excellent. Patti and I have…
