Our South of the Border Burnt Ends and Tips were a bit zippy. I nailed it! These were like a ZIPPY meat candy. Note: Ken’s idea of zippy is a true tongue scorcher. Depending on your heat level you may want to tone these down. Patti and Rat (our little dog) couldn't eat them. For me, off the hook and jam packed with all the…
Horsey Mustard Rib Roast was the perfect dinner for a special birthday party. This big boy was over 8 ½ lbs. of juicy, tender perfection. Patti made a Horsey Mustard Sauce with just a hint of fresh rosemary made even better with our own Smoked Garlic Sauce, Date Night Heat and Briggs True Texas Mustard Sauce and with a “Kiss of Smoke”. Patti and…
Smoked Prime Rib Roast, we did 2 Prime Rib Roasts. We live in a senior’s community and we were able to have a few of the folks over to share dinner with us. They left smiling and happy and full. That makes us happy and thankful that we could add a little family and fellowship to their lives.
Uncle Bubba’s Texas Terror Chili is not for the light of heart or taste buds. This Texas chili is spicy, thick and packed with big smoked beef flavor. I love chili with big chunks of tender smoky beef and lots of chili flavor. The sauce was made from dried chipotle and ancho peppers, Texas chili powder, smoked garlic, tomato sauce, with chocolate and coffee…
Reverse Seared Tomahawk Steaks for Date Night!!! These were so good and tender with a “Kiss of Smoke”. We let these hang out in the smoke at 150* (65c) for an hour before removing them and cranking up the heat! Then, about 12 minutes at 450* (232c) for these beautiful steaks. They were fork tender and bone gnawing good!!! We seasoned these with “Loubier…
Brisket Machaca con Huevos, my mom made this for me as a kid. It has always been one of my favorites and have always loved “Big Beefy Burritos” because of her machaca. We used a few pounds of our smoked Tex-Mex brisket that we shredded and added onions, tomatoes, peppers, and eggs. Mom would have loved this one… Big, Tender and Juicy. Note: Machaca…
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…
Jalapeno Guacamole Bacon Cheeseburger. Have I said I LOVE BIG BURGERS? This BIG BURGER is piled up with everything I love, a half-pound of beef, pepper jack cheese, guacamole and a ton of thick sliced pepper bacon topped with grilled jalapenos. Stacked up on lettuce, tomatoes and a slab of sweet onion. Then, Smoky Garlic Pepper Mayo… All with a “Kiss of Smoke”. Pure…
Jammin Jalapeno Bacon Burger, a BIG half-pound burger seared on a Hot griddle, topped with Havarti & Pepper Jack cheese and a pile of our sweet and savory Jalapeno Bacon Jam, served on garlic Texas toast!!! Have I said that “I LOVE BIG BURGERS”? A “Hot” griddle sears a nice, caramelized crust onto your burger for a unique flavor. And I enjoy any chance…
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…
Reverse Sear what is it? After talking with a few folks there seem to be 2 schools of thought here. 1. Do a sear on your meat then smoke it. 2. Smoke your meat, and then do your sear. I got 1000’s of responses on both options so I thought I would do some research on it. I am not going to go into the…
Taco Tuesday Blackened Steak Tacos because we love tacos just about any way they are made. I have been craving tacos and had some beautiful sirloins from “Texas Steak Warehouse”. The beginning of a love story. I wanted these to be special. So, I made a Smokey Creamy Jalapeno Sauce. It is a light green sauce that you see on almost every food truck…
