Green Chile Stuffed Pork Loin w/ Creamy Chipotle Sauce came as a 4:30 a.m. conversation. We wanted pork loin for our date night, but couldn’t come up with a way we both wanted. We did very well. Easy with a stuffing that started with box rice and a creamy chipotle sauce made with three ingredients. We gave it a “Kiss of Smoke” . Patti and…
Easy Smoked Potatoes Au Gratin because a friend of Patti’s wanted a recipe for scalloped potatoes with cheese. That’s what au Gratin potatoes are. She also wanted a recipe she could make a day ahead without the potatoes turning black. So, we cooked the potatoes first and layered them the next day into our creamy cheesy sauce. Then, we topped them with more cheese and…
Pecan Scotch Pie was born because pecan pie is Ken’s favorite. We already have a wonderful recipe for pecan pie with chocolate, so we wanted something different. Patti had an ‘aha” moment and remembered we had butterscotch chips from a recipe we apparently forgot all about. This pie turned out crunchy and creamy with an extra whisper of pecan smoke because we used Mountain Maple pellets in a wedgie for that “Kiss of Smoke”.
Stuffed Jalapeno Burger, we were in the mood for a BIG Meaty Burger and grill fries tonight. I started looking around the kitchen to see what I could find to make this big boy. A Burger was born, cheese, sweet onions, chili, sliced jalapenos, and Country Bobs Apple Chipotle Sauce. Think about it, what is a Chipotle? It’s a smoked Jalapeno. Perfect… These were…
Southwestern Chicken Skillet because we had friends visiting and they wanted something different made with chicken, cheese and bacon. Patti and I kicked this recipe around for about a week. Doing different skillets, pans, peppers and sauces. When we came to what we wanted to do I was a bit excited to “Get er Done”, thinking this was going to be good! Using 3…
We love Dump Chili and have been making it from scratch for over 45 years. Over the years I have picked up many books in my research on the history from the very beginning. The oldest known chili recipe in print dates back to 1700 and it belonged to a Spanish priest. That said I wanted a good smoky chili to warm us up…
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…
Smoky Garlic Onion Pork Chops are so tender and juicy. Who says that camp cooking is boring? We have always loved creating AWESOME and hearty tailgating and camp meals that will be remembered for years. This is another one of those. Smoky Garlic Onion Pork Chops are easy on our Green Mountain Grills Davey Crockett Tailgater and adds that “Kiss of Smoke”. With hunting…
Hawaiian Burger, Ken loves his food extra, extra spicy. But, Patti wanted something a little sweet for date night. We both wanted some seriously flavorful. Hawaiian Burger is a big, beefy burger, topped with ham, smoked Gouda, and pepper jack cheese with a grilled slice of pineapple. The perfect seasoning for both was Swimmin’ in Smoke Booty Shake and Grandville’s BBQ Jam Pineapple flavor.…
Our Grill Grate Fajitas! The fajita is best served when the meat is brought to the table sizzling loudly on a cast iron skillet with the tortillas and condiments on the side. The smell and sound of the meat and peppers sizzling is a delight. We have taken the fajita so far from its humble beginnings that folks don’t remember what it was or where…
Bacon Bourbon Beanie Wienies adds a little distinction to a simple classic that’s loved by kids of all ages. We used the best wienies we could find: Raider Red Beef Franks. Everybody loves Ken’s baked beans; after all he’s been working on the recipe for over thirty years. The difference with these is we added a whole bottle of Briggs True Bourbon Bacon BBQ…
