Cowboy Surf & Turf is a big steak stuffed with Patti’s seafood stuffing. We used our Green Mountain “Davy Crockett” to show use just how easy it is to go big on a little pellet grill made for tailgating. A great little grill that you can set up anywhere!!! Cowboy Surf & Turf is our first new recipe since moving to Oklahoma. We truly…
Carne Guisada, since we’ve been selling BBQ’d tri-tip roasts at the Murrieta Farmer’s Market, it’s become one of our favorite cuts of beef. Super lean and full of flavor, plus it’s so versatile. Tonight we cubed up a three pounder, tossed it with seasoned flour and some of our favorite Mexican spices. Then, off to the Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill for some smoky flavor…
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 break any teeth.…
Just Peachy Poppers came about because Patti’s pal Harriett brought over some smoky spicy peach salsa on the same day we were talking about a new and different popper. They are such a hit for tailgating parties and appetizers. Stuffed jalapenos are fun to make with so many versatile choices for stuffing. And, of course, wrapping them with bacon makes them just peachy! Patti…
Our “Smoky Stuffed Chicken Alfredo” has a subtle nutty flavor of almond smoke. This is one of those that is just fun to do, not mention good for dinner. The weather here is perfect for cold smoking, so that is just what we did. We used “Smoke Daddy’s” cold smoke generator and smoked the chicken and sliced almonds in almond smoke. We stuffed our chicken…
Buckboard Bacon, our new love is makin’ bacon. It’s very easy to do and better than any store-bought bacon we’ve ever had. That said there is no such thing as “Bad” bacon, just some is better than others. A beautiful, buckboard bacon is made from pork butt. There is something special about making your own bacon. It’s Bacon Candy that your friends will love…
Rusty Meatballs are a great Tailgating recipe that can be eaten out of hand or as meatball subs. They can do double duty as appetizers and are always a hit. We took our Chipotle Bacon Bombs and generously brushed them with our Rusty Mustard Carolina Style BBQ Sauce and voila Rusty Meatballs were born. Too easy and with just three ingredients, make a lot…
Al Pastor Game Day Tacos because we love tacos. So many ways you can do them and they’re all good. “Al Pastor” is always special. Juan at the El Toro market thin sliced 8 pounds of pork for us, an overnight marinade with a dusting of Briggs True Texas Chili Mix put us in Taco Heaven! We gave it a “Kiss of Smoke” with…
Smoked Tri Tip, 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 meals. This was about a 4 pound tri-tip that we smoked at 225* (107 c) for about 2 ½ hours or so. For tonight’s dinner we went by meat temperature…
Our Sweet Jalapeno Glaze is a flavorful glaze that is great on Pork and Chicken. Sweet with no heat that makes it a perfect glaze with cooking for everyone. Or you can easily “Zip” it up a bit for the “boys”. When friends of ours knowing Ken loves anything zippy gave him a jar of jalapeno jelly. Guess what? The jelly was really sweet…
Quarnitas Tacos, a great quarantine meal for the whole family. Rich and delicious fork tender pork carnitas for tacos, burritos or enchiladas with a “Kiss of Smoke” on our 7-year-old Green Mountain Grill Davy Crockett tailgater. This is a great little grill and it’s perfect tailgating and camping cooking also! We had more than a few meals this week and the neighborhood smelled wonderful for…
Smoked Chuck Roast, Patti was going to do a pot roast in the oven. I got to thinking I was going to miss my grill time this weekend and I didn’t like that idea, at all. I had never heard of anyone doing a roast on the grill before and got to thinking, what did folks do before they had nice ovens in the house.…
