Cranberry Apple Bacon Jam, I was wanting a stuffing for a Christmas pork loin. Not the Ho-Hum, same old, same old stuffing. But something different. I can say that Patti and I knocked it out of the park with this one! It is so good, but everything is better with bacon! Our bacon jam has a pound of bacon slow cooked with apples, smoked onions,…
Cowboy Queso we can imagine cowboys or “New York City” cowboys sitting around the campfire enjoying this meaty, cheesy queso on chips or whenever you like a really good dip/sauce on. We used some of our favorite smoked cheese in this, but you can use your favorites. We arranged all the ingredients in an aluminum pan. You can mix them altogether in any oven…
Smoky Minced Garlic we use a lot of garlic here. We like the smoky minced garlic when we want a bit of garlic and a "Kiss of Smoke" into our dish. The garlic is still raw and will sweeten as it cooks and brings a nice smoky flavor into anything you cook. Every month we cold smoke 3 or 4 pounds of garlic that…
Simple Pulled Pork with just 3 ingredients, pork butt, Butcher BBQ oil and our “Date Night Butt Rub”. Patti and I love pulled pork, we use it for all sorts of things besides “Pulled Pork Sandwiches”, think about pizza, burritos, enchiladas, tacos, chili, omelets or biscuits and gravy for example. We get lots of “How To” questions on how to make pulled pork. I…
Pulled Pork Tacos! We really enjoy pulled pork and all the things you can do with it. I was wanting some tacos and we had a “Mexican Themed” potluck coming up after Church. So, pulled pork sounded good. You can season it to go in any direction your taste buds are craving and at $1.39 a pound you can make a lot of it.…
BBQ Chuck Roast Sliders, we love the BIG BEEF flavor of a chuck roast with a "Kiss of Smoke". With game day and tailgating season coming up BBQ Chuck Roast Sliders sounds like a “Win Win” to us. This cook was fun because I got to use a 10-cent yard sale treasure, Grandma’s old roaster. Big beef flavor in a slider with smoked garlic,…
Old School Pork Spareribs! If you are ever lucky enough to visit a “Real Old School” BBQ shack you will notice that they do the whole rack of spareribs. They do minimal trimming and you end up with bigger meatier ribs. You waste a lot of good meat when you cut these down into “Saint Louis” style ribs. Just cut the chime bone off,…
Lemon Pepper Brined Chicken was special treat, tender and juicy with the savory flavors from the tart and peppery brine with a “Kiss of Maple Smoke” from a “Wedgie”. Topped off with a Lemon Pepper finishing sauce. Great for dinner with friends. We Spatchcocked these, you can do yours any way you like, whole, halved or quartered. The brine is simple to make and…
Smoked Jalapeño Hot Sauce, I love a good Jalapeño Hot Sauce and have been thinking of how I can take it a step farther than store bought sauce. Being a child of the 60’s I’ll smoke anything. So, the next thing you know I’m smoking jalapenos, garlic and onions to make my sauce. We used the Bull Rack System on our Louisiana wood pellet grill…
Brisket Tacos, brisket was on sale this week. So, we picked up about 35 pounds of Big Beef Brisket! We thought we would step away from the traditional smoked brisket you see everyone doing. We wanted to show how you can do so much more with all that “Big Beef” that will have everybody coming back for a second helping. You can feed a…
Tex-Mex Shredded Brisket, we thought we would step away from the traditional smoked brisket you see everyone doing. We wanted to show how you can do so much more with that “Big Beef” flavor that will have everybody coming back for a second helping. We even came up with a “Tex-Mex Seasoning” and a sauce that you’ll love on many things all with a…
Mumbo Sauce, in my research of regional BBQ and Grilling Sauces in America, I discovered this quick and easy sauce from Washington, DC. Who would have guessed that they would have their own sauce! This is a simple sweet-and-sour sauce that is even good on a spoon! D.C. claims this sauce as their own, but it looks like it migrated from Chicago where it…
