Tailgating Tri Tip Tex-Mex Style is taking tailgating to a higher level. For us tailgating on our Green Mountain Grill/Smoker isn’t always just hot dogs and burgers. We love steak and taters so why not when we go camping and tailgating! We did a reverse sear on a chipotle rubbed Tri Tip. Served with grilled peppers and onions with a pile of taters. Then,…
Buffalo Onions, there is no one way to do them and they are super easy to do. They can be a different grilling adventure every time you make them! Our Buffalo Sauce recipe is better than most, on the mild side but packed with flavor. Easy to zip it up but as is it was a bit zippy for Patti. The only thing that…
Chipotle Bacon Bombs are a good meaty snack or appetizer for parties or tailgating. A great start for anything we come up with. How about Chipotle Bacon Bombs on a Stick? We let our “Crash Test Dummies” try these out and they were a huge hit. There were no survivors…and no need for the main course. We all could have just eaten these for hours.
Buffalo Bill Burger, I LOVE BIG BURGERS! This is a ½ pound of lean ground Bison topped with a crisp bacon wrapped onion ring filled with white queso (cheese) sauce and drizzled with our Smokey Bourbon Bacon KC BBQ Sauce to kick the flavor up even more. Grilled with a “Kiss of Smoke”. Patti and I have set one night a week just for…
https://youtu.be/k6z-Fv4a21I Video Dr. Pepper Ribs, amazing ribs in just 3 ½ hours. We have been wanting to do some ribs and My Baked beans. So, we thought we would do some for date night! The ribs had just a “Kiss” of Dr. Pepper, tender and almost falling off the bones. My beans as always were great! I love these beans and have been doing these…
Our Golden Pile of Drummies was made with a drumstick/chicken wing hanger. Using a hanger you don’t have to turn the chicken, you get even cooking all around. We both love kitchen gadgets and this will be fun to use on chicken wings next time. They had a little sweet honey taste from our Butcher BBQ Honey rub and were perfectly seasoned with our…
Uncle Bubba's Brandy Peppercorn Glaze is another one of his delicious sauce/glazes. super simple and beautiful glaze. A Kiss of Brandy, smoked garlic with a hint of black pepper in a glaze made with honey. You’ll love this one! Remembering how my grandfather used to make this: a bit spicy and sweet that’s great on any pork or chicken. Patti and I have set…
Chipotle Pepper Brined Roast Beef packed with tons of BIG BEEF flavor. We took a 7 pound beef shoulder roast and brined it for two days in our Chipotle Pepper brine. Big Beef Roast- Texas Style. We love “Big Beef” and today we took it a few steps farther with 2 days in a Chipotle/Pepper brine and smoked it for 5½ hours in a…
Garlicky Spatchcock Hens, Garlic lovers heaven for our Date Night dinner. Patti and I both love garlic (good thing) and our Garlic Lovers Grilling Sauce is CRAZY GOOD. If you don’t like garlic don’t even think about this sauce, it is very garlicky to say the least! Garlic sweetens as it cooks and adds wonderful garlic flavor to whatever is on the grill. Game hens…
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…
