https://youtu.be/UJuX9PsIm8o Smoked Jalapeno Poppers Video This is one of our first videos done with our old camera. Almost embarrassing compared to our videos now. But it does get the message across... We enjoy Smoked Jalapeno Poppers or ABT’s ( Atomic Buffalo Turds ) as they are referred to in the BBQ world. We have been doing them at the Farmer’s Market and folks have been…
https://youtu.be/vaumUsewWlc Twisted Piggy Burnt Ends Last week I was talking with Jim Olson, one of my Facebook friends, about our “Poor Man’s Burnt Ends”. He said that he has used pork strips as another cheap alternative to brisket. Well, that got me to thinking and we all know that is a painful process to say the least. So, thinking on it for a few days…
Pretzel Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops We don’t eat much fried food, but oven fried pork chops sounded good. Patti took it a few steps further. Instead of a fry pan we used our Green Mountain Grill. Instead of plain old bread crumbs Patti crushed hard pretzels mixed with parmesan cheese and with Green Mountain Grills Pork Seasoning. Perfect. Patti and I have set one night…
Southwestern Cabbage Rolls Patti’s family emigrated from Eastern Europe and she had fond memories of these cabbage rolls that were called one thing in German and another in Polish. But, Ken being from Texas we made them a little zippier. Patti made them extra easy using an instant brown rice, bottled tomato sauce and some of our favorite southwestern seasonings. Plus, you can put it…
Smoked Pastrami Pin Wheel We love pastrami sandwiches with hot mustard, cheese and dill pickles. Happily corned beef has been on sale and smoked corned beef is pastrami! To make it the perfect sandwich roll size we butterflied the corned beef, smeared it inside with mustard, layered on slices of Swiss cheese and rolled it up, generously sprinkling inside and out with Legg’s BBQ Seasoning.…
Smokin’ Nuts We wanted a healthy snack, at least healthier than our usual. Our favorite market had bulk nuts on sale and using some of our favorite seasonings made them yummy and a lot cheaper than already smoked seasoned nuts. Plus, we could pick our favorite mix of nuts and seasonings. I was talking with Josh Cary of All Things BBQ and this is a…
Smoked Cheese Burger Meatloaf It’s been rainy and gray outside…comfort food was mandatory. One of our favorite (and yours, too) is a hearty meatloaf. We made it even better by using lots of Ken’s smoked cheese that Patti shredded. We used smoked cheddar, but you can use whatever shredded cheese you like. To keep it moist we used Country Bob’s All Purpose sauce and to…
Salsa Verde Burgers We both had to have Ken’s big beefy burgers. With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner Patti suggested doing something green. Ken wanted something south western. We came up with a delicious compromise. Ken topped ½ lb. burgers with grilled jalapenos and green salsa. Patti likes the salsa verde because it’s tangy but not hot. Ken added to the southwestern theme with…

Things like Mac and Cheese, Stuffed meatloaf, lasagna and burgers are crazy good picking up the smoky flavors of the grill. Not even talking about sauces and dips. I have been thinking…

Almond Crusted Chicken We love chicken legs and we wanted to do something a little special. Using Ken’s antique nut crusher we got from his Grandmother we crushed some whole, raw almonds and used them for a crunchy coating for our whole chicken legs. Patti used panko bread crumbs seasoned just right with Chef of the Future Honey Garlic Seasoning Rub. Almond Crusted Chicken Outdoor…
