"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. I already have a couple of pans that size, but this one had a lid. That was my excuse to buy it. When I got home I found a recipe inside the pan for Mini…
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.…
Smoked Shredded Beef Enchiladas We smoked a big, beautiful chuck roast because Patti wanted to make big beefy enchiladas to have for our weekend. They were perfect: zingy enough for Ken and not too hot for Patti. 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…
Potato Cheddar Pierogies Au Gratin Ken loves pierogies, Patti loves how easy they are to buy frozen and fix in lots of different ways. We planned on having simple bacon cheeseburgers for dinner with the pierogies as a side dish. Well, they were so good we had them as the main dish. You can make the pierogies either thawed or frozen and with a few…
Spinach & Swiss Twice Baked Potato For date night we were having a simple, but delicious, sirloin streak for dinner. To add a special side Patti made a twice baked potato full of Swiss cheese, of course bacon and spinach to make it healthy. We microwave the potatoes until soft, then spoon the insides into a bowl with some of our favorite goodies and finished…
Steak & Egg Frittata One of Ken’s favorite meals is sirloin steak; one of Patti’s is playing with leftovers. So, we made two big sirloins for date night. The next day we had friends coming for brunch and what’s better than steak and eggs? A big cast iron skillet of steak and eggs smoked to perfection, seasoned just right with our Cattleman’s Grill Steakhouse Seasoning…
https://youtu.be/CxZJzCwULcY Stuffed Burger Dogs Video It’s the time of year for burgers and hot dogs! Hence the burger dog, but no wieners were harmed in this recipe. Patti wrapped her Chef Of The Future seasoned hamburger around a 2oz. log of extra sharp cheddar cheese, rolled it into a hot dog shape and served it on hot dog buns with our favorite hot dog condiments…which…
Twice Baked Garlic Potatoes We love twice baked potatoes because there’s so much you can stuff them with, leftover meat, veggies or whatever. There lots of goodies for stuffing so we have lots of opportunities. Patti decided to use a garlic sauce in the potatoes and loved it. She used it instead of the usual butter, sour cream and milk. It worked really well. They’ll…
Guest Chef G's BEST HOMEMADE PANCAKES I'm not a breakfast person, so the only time I cook pancakes is by request. And when I do, I make the batter from scratch. And for this batch I used what is now my new favorite, very versatile pancake recipe that I found at the Foodies’ Kitchen website. What I like about these are the subtle sweetness, and…
Italian Sausage Mac & Cheese It’s amazing how many recipe requests we get for macaroni & cheese. That’s fine with us, it’s quick, easy and has unlimited variations. We used Ken’s favorite hot Italian sausage along with lots of his cold smoked cheddar and Patti insisted on fresh broccoli to keep it healthy. Being it was 101 here today we were more than happy to…
https://youtu.be/-b1ZNJkXnAA Cold Smoked Cheese Video We really enjoy smoked cheeses, we eat them as snacks and Patti uses them in different recipes. Patti made a nice Caprese salad with some of the Mozzarella Cheese and I used some on our Fiery Cowboy Pizza. Off The Hook!!! Cold smoking cheese is so easy with our GMG loaded with Bull Racks and smoke from the Wedgie. We…
