https://youtu.be/v5mRHi4kxYc Cold Smoked Cheese in the Pacific Living Outdoor Oven Video We love smoked cheese and we use it in our recipes to add a whole new layer of flavor. 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. 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…
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…
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…
Carne Asada Burrito “Ready to Roll” Tonight was the first night after the rains totaled our patio roof that we could get back outside. We didn’t need one, but I built a fire anyway. I call it “Fire for Effect”. And Patti’s tiny and always cold. I found citrus marinated carne asada at the Mexican market on sale and I could not resist. With the…
Simply Delicious Roasted Chicken It’s hot here and tonight we wanted something simple and without a lot of fuss, but delicious. What can be easier than a chicken on the Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker? I think pecan smoke in just magic on chicken along with a splash of “Big Dick’s” BBQ sauce. It made for a nice evening. Simply Delicious Roasted Chicken A Wood Pellet…
Kamado Tri Tip Packed with “Big Beef” Flavor Tonight’s dinner was packed with “Big Beef” flavor with a wonderful peppery crust and a kiss of smoke flavor. We love the taste of big beef flavor and nothing says ‘Big Beef” better than Tri-Tip. Tri tip is a very tender cut of beef and full of rich beefy flavor; to give it another layer of flavor…
Coffee Injected Chuck Roast, Fiesta Potatoes and a Garlic Skillet We have done a few big chuck roasts now, because they taste great. What I like most about doing these big roasts is that someone always has them on sale. This is a big 8 ½ pounder that Patti found for less than $2.50 a pound. We ate roast beef burgers, BBQ beef sandwiches with…
Smokin’ Hot Meatloaf Today has been a long week and comfort food was mandatory. For us that also means something on the barbecue. We both love meatloaf and it sounded like the perfect plan. Served with Patti’s garlic mashed potatoes, of course. We picked up some nice sourdough bread, and meatloaf sandwiches will be on for tomorrow’s lunch. Ken thinks that’s the best reason to…
Lemon Ginger Chicken Strips Ken wanted teriyaki chicken strips, Patti promised to do it better, and she did, without all the sodium of bottled teriyaki sauce. She had all the help she needed with Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts (this one chicken breast was over 2lbs.) cut into strips, and a marinade including Big Dick’s “Big Kahuna” Seasoning and Country Bob’s Honey Habanero All Purpose Sauce.…
South of the Border Fatty We had 4 couples and a few stray friends from our Church over for dinner. I had it all planned out. We would do 8 styles of ribs, plated real nice with a little card that explained what kind of rub and the style I was trying to create. Well, that didn’t work. We had so many ribs that I…
https://youtu.be/qSynbfkXF2E Bacon Candy Bacon Candy! This stuff is CRAZY GOOD and will be ILLEGAL when the food police hear about it! For a special treat think about this. Bacon Candy is so simple to make, only 3 ingredients. Sweet, smoky and just melts in your mouth. Patti and I came to the conclusion that Bacon Candy is just plain Dangerous in a really delicious way.…
