Blue Cheeseburger Meatloaf With all this blustery weather we’ve been requested (a lot) to make a big savory meatloaf. Patti loves cooking with blue cheese because of its unique flavor, Ken just wanted hearty and beefy. He loved it and of course can’t wait for his cold meatloaf sandwiches for days to come. Plus, we used Cattleman’s Grill Steakhouse Seasoning because it has all the…
Guest Chef G's ROASTED BABY ARTICHOKES I recently saw packaged baby artichokes in the grocery store and decided to try them. I'd never eaten or cooked them before, so this was a perfect opportunity to learn something new. The verdict: I LOVE THEM! I did a very basic preparation that really celebrated the wonderful flavor of this vegetable. In the future I might do something…
Marsala Pork with Sautéed Mushrooms Ken’s butcher buddy Juan Carlos showed us some beautiful 2” thick pork chops at a great price, 99 cents a pound. Of course we had to get some (20 pounds).

"Guest Chef" Chef G's HUEVOS RANCHEROS VIDEO: HUEVOS_RANCHEROS_01.mp4 2.4 MB While grocery shopping recently, a small cooking pan caught my eye. It was a little IMUSA mini 6-inch egg casserole.

Grandville’s Bacon Cheese Burger This week I wanted to put a different twist on our bacon cheese burger. I like the bacon in the burger. And what can be better than bacon, chipotle and cheese with some of Steve’s Grandville Gourmet BBQ Sauce. (We just used the beef to hold it all together.) The bacon flavor just jumps out at you and the smoky flavor…
Easy Sausage Pierogi Bake Ken wanted macaroni and cheese made meaty with sausage. Patti had an “aha” moment because frozen pierogies are something we always have on hand, plus Ken just cold smoked lots of our favorite kinds of cheese. To make it extra easy we used jars of Alfredo sauce and to make it extra tasty we used Swimmin’ in Smoke Booty Shake Seasoning.…

Things like Mac and Cheese, Stuffed meatloaf and burgers are crazy good picking up the smoky flavors of the grill. Not even talking about sauces and dips. Cold smoking cheese is so easy to do.…
Smoked Shredded Beef Enchiladas We smoked a big, beautiful chuck roast because Patti wanted to make big beefy enchiladas to have for our weekend.

We seasoned the roast with Cattleman’s Grill Carne Asada Seasoning and used more in the enchiladas to make it extra good and Ken’s smoked cheeses to make it…

You can make the pierogies either thawed or frozen and with a few…
