Pepper Glazed Pork Chops were a hit! We cold smoked our chops then sealed them up and let them get “Happy” for a few days. What a treat! Pork’s mild flavor lends itself so well to rich coffee smoke and the savory pepper glaze that Patti made for us. We seasoned our chops with Loubier Italian Seasoning that just brought all the flavors together…
Uncle Bubba’s Zippy Taco Burgers is another camp meal Uncle Bubba made with his “Shredded Beef”. He went “South of the Border” with a 6-hour slow smoke until he had a mountain of “Fork Tender Spicy Shredded Beef”. One night he made us “Zippy Taco Burgers” topped with his “Cowboy Queso” and we ate burritos in one style or another along with tacos and…
Fiery Piggy Balls, an extra spicy appetizer wrapped in bacon, of course, for game day. Happily we just got some wonderful and extra zingy sauces from All Spice Café, so we knew we could put their Cayenne Habanero Sauce to good use. This is a variation of our “Chipotle Bacon Bombs” using hot sausage balls instead of ground beef. You can use mild sausage…
Mickey’s Mac & Cheese was made in honor of our dear friends Mickey & Fred’s anniversary. It was super easy with a base of jar Alfredo sauce, plus lots of smoked cheese and frozen thawed broccoli for color and to make it healthy. Then, Patti added chopped bacon because everything is better with bacon. Then that “Kiss of Smoke”. Patti and I have set one…
https://youtu.be/4OS-47DMVbM Zippy Beef Jerky Zippy Beef Jerky, we have always liked jerky and have wanted to make our own for years. This jerky is packed with flavor. A bit zippy with lots of black and red pepper mixed with Green Mountain’s “South of the Border rub”. Then, I pulled it off the smoker while still a little tender as jerky goes. I didn’t want to…
Sweep the Kitchen Calzones, and that is what we did. We went threw the kitchen and pulled out all kinds of good meat and veggie stuff including some Smoky VooDoo sauce. Piled high with our own smoked mozzarella cheese and Canadian Bacon, bacon, ham, sausage, Raider Red Stuffed sausage, pepperoni, onions, garlic, olives, mushrooms and jalapenos with carrots. Not sure if I missed anything…
Grilled Avocado with Salsa Fresca. Our Salsa Fresca, sweet from the sweet peppers and Tomatillos with just a hint of jalapeno heat, nice. Now, put it into a grilled avocado. Warm, soft and creamy with a "Kiss of Smoke". We always enjoy cooking at the Murrieta Farmer’s Market. The people are great and we always come home with lots of fresh fruit and veggies.…
https://youtu.be/vp5VVwtqZsY Armadillo Eggs Go Tailgating Video Armadillo Eggs Go Tailgating Video, Armadillo Eggs are a stuffed jalapeno, wrapped in a ¼ pound of spicy sausage. Not for the faint of heart, but just a little zippy! I love these things, but they are not for everybody. Patti makes them for me, and she can’t eat them. This is a great Tailgating and party recipe. We…
Pizza Night at our house has a whole meaning. Our new Green Mountain Pizza Oven has changed everything! A Beautiful, Hot, Bubbly BBQ Chicken Pizza in about 3 minutes using our own smoked mozzarella cheese. We don’t think we ever order out for pizza again. Our pizza oven is so easy we set up a “Pizza Bar” and had some friends over. Everybody got…
Texas Chili Brats and Tots is one of our “go to” recipes when we go camping or tailgating. We just load up our Green Mountain Davy Crockett Tailgater and go. We’ve been known to double the recipe when our fellow campers smell our cook and it is easy to add some heat to this one depending on who’s eating.
Voodoo Drums, a smoky garlic treat off the grill. Voodoo Drums is one of our “Smokin on our Gasser” recipes. We mixed Cindy Lou’s Voodoo Rub with our garlic sauce and brushed it generously over chicken drumsticks. We gave our Voodoo Drums a “Kiss of Smoke” using a Wedgie loaded with Pacific Pellets Rancher’s Mesquite.
Mongolian Beef on the Green Mountain Grill! We had been in the mood for some good Mongolian Beef. A spicy sweet Asian dish that you can take in any direction you like from no heat to Extra Spicy HOT. There is no “One” way to make it. We had a nice flank steak that we did on Dad’s old griddle which helped make it…
