Hasselback Potatoes, we love these sliced, baked potatoes with cheese and bacon. We bake the potatoes and cool them ahead of time so they’re easy to quickly prepare. These are fancy enough for special dinners and convenient enough to mostly prepare the night before. They’re a different and delicious version of a twice baked potato. You can use any flavor of cheese. This time…
Hickory Smoked Sirloin Steak Sandwich, a trip down memory lane. This is the recipe that started it all in 2009. Five cameras ago and lot's lights, Patti has lost her dinning room, it is now a photo studio. You can see how we've grown!!! By now some of you have heard us refer to “Love the Second Time Around”. What we talking about is…
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…
Swiss Onion Stuffed Pork Chops, we love how versatile pork chops are. We cut these about 3 inches thick just for stuffing. We gave these a “Kiss of Smoke”. This is a simple recipe that looks like you have been cooking all day. Great for family and friends and a big hit camping and tailgating. We get a whole pork loin every month just…
Citrus Pepper Bacon Chicken Cheeseburgers because Ken loves cheeseburgers or anything with cheese and bacon. Patti wanted to make the burgers a little healthier and she loves chicken. These were super simple and full of flavor. A definite for our next camping or tailgating adventure. I think the Briggs Citrus Pepper Seasoning just set these on Fire! They were so good that I have already…
Cranberry Apple Bacon Jam, I was wanting a stuffing for a Christmas pork loin. Not the Ho-Hum, same old, same old stuffing. But something different. I can say that Patti and I knocked it out of the park with this one! It is so good, but everything is better with bacon! Our bacon jam has a pound of bacon slow cooked with apples, smoked onions,…
Cowboy Queso we can imagine cowboys or “New York City” cowboys sitting around the campfire enjoying this meaty, cheesy queso on chips or whenever you like a really good dip/sauce on. We used some of our favorite smoked cheese in this, but you can use your favorites. We arranged all the ingredients in an aluminum pan. You can mix them altogether in any oven…
Smoky Minced Garlic we use a lot of garlic here. We like the smoky minced garlic when we want a bit of garlic and a "Kiss of Smoke" into our dish. The garlic is still raw and will sweeten as it cooks and brings a nice smoky flavor into anything you cook. Every month we cold smoke 3 or 4 pounds of garlic that…
Simple Pulled Pork with just 3 ingredients, pork butt, Butcher BBQ oil and our “Date Night Butt Rub”. Patti and I love pulled pork, we use it for all sorts of things besides “Pulled Pork Sandwiches”, think about pizza, burritos, enchiladas, tacos, chili, omelets or biscuits and gravy for example. We get lots of “How To” questions on how to make pulled pork. I…
Pulled Pork Tacos! We really enjoy pulled pork and all the things you can do with it. I was wanting some tacos and we had a “Mexican Themed” potluck coming up after Church. So, pulled pork sounded good. You can season it to go in any direction your taste buds are craving and at $1.39 a pound you can make a lot of it.…
Old School Pork Spareribs! If you are ever lucky enough to visit a “Real Old School” BBQ shack you will notice that they do the whole rack of spareribs. They do minimal trimming and you end up with bigger meatier ribs. You waste a lot of good meat when you cut these down into “Saint Louis” style ribs. Just cut the chime bone off,…
Lemon Pepper Brined Chicken was special treat, tender and juicy with the savory flavors from the tart and peppery brine with a “Kiss of Maple Smoke” from a “Wedgie”. Topped off with a Lemon Pepper finishing sauce. Great for dinner with friends. We Spatchcocked these, you can do yours any way you like, whole, halved or quartered. The brine is simple to make and…
