Cedar Planked Spicy Nacho Cheese Doritos

It’s great to be in control. It seems sometimes a rare thing in our lives. Well, when you make some cedar planked spicy nacho cheese Doritos you’re in control. You decide how much of that cedar aroma you want. And how much flavor the cedar is going to bring. You even get to decide how roasted crunchy the chips end up. You’ll love the results of your efforts, believe me. Control never tasted or felt so good!

Cedar Planked Spicy Nacho Cheese Doritos

Best Easiest Snack Ever

There’s nothing complicated going on here. You do have to be careful you don’t go crazy nuts and leave the chips on the grill too long. The process for making cedar planked spicy nacho cheese Doritos is simple. These are great snacks for your next grill party. You can make a lot of them, and quick. Do like I do and make some cool ranch Doritos too. And some regular nacho cheese for sure!

Doritos Rock. So Do Other Chips.

I bet you’re thinking… Can I do this with other chips, too? Why sure! You can place any chip onto planks and grill them. But, watch out! Thinner chips, such as potato chips, will cook a lot faster! You might want to do a ‘test run’ with a few chips first to get a feel for the amount of time you want to grill them.

Easy Irresistible Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

I was going to call these easy irresistible mozzarella cheese sticks just ‘easy mozzarella cheese sticks’. But no, that’s just not enough. It doesn’t tell you just how good they are. Eat two? Three. Yeah right. Not me at least. I’m not that strong. They have a power. The power of a crunchy, flavorful coating. Ooey gooey melty cheese. Perfect. Irresistible!

Easy Irresistible Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

The Keys To Cheese Stick Success

These easy irresistible mozzarella cheese sticks are easy. But there are two things to remember while you’re making them. First is get the cheese well coated in the flour. Don’t forget the ends, either. Our goal here is the perfect breading, everywhere. Every inch of the cheese stick.

Second, is make sure you get the cheese stick nice and coated in the egg. Beating the eggs well will help with this. And again, make sure you get the ends too.

After that it’s a walk in the park. Just get the breadcrumbs all over. And yep, get the ends again. Then fry until golden brown. Oh and resist eating them hot out of the fryer. Trust me on that. Let them cool a bit regardless of how tempted you might be!

I get out my big deep fryer when it’s time to fry a large batch of food. It comes to temperature quickly and it maintains that temperature perfectly. It has a built-in oil filter and storage unit so I can re-use the oil several times.

Instructions

  • Cut the mozzarella cheese sticks in half in the middle to make 24 shorter pieces.
  • Heat 2-3" of oil to 350 F in a Dutch oven or deep fryer. While the oil is heating, make the cheese sticks.
  • Place the breadcrumbs into a shallow bowl or small pie plate. Stir in the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Dredge each mozzarella stick in flour, Get each side of stick, including the ends, coated well. Shake off any excess flour.
  • Beat the two eggs and place in a small bowl.
  • Dip the sticks into the eggs and coat well. Get the ends of the cheese sticks, too. All of it. Don't miss a spot!
  • Transfer the sticks to the breadcrumb mixture. Roll them to coat, pressing down on them as you go. Also get the ends. Don't rush this. You want the breadcrumbs to coat them completely and evenly.
  • Working in batches if needed, fry the sticks for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack over a baking sheet or a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Serve with warmed marinara for dipping.

Cedar Planked Cool Ranch Doritos

Yep. Cedar planked cool Ranch Doritos. “Now what in the world is he up to now?” It’s ok if that’s what you’re thinking. My wife certainly thought the same thing. Then she tried them. Then she she knew. They’re fantastic! She doesn’t doubt me any more! Well, at least not when it comes to grilled tortilla chips!

Once you have soaked your board you’re only minutes away from enjoying these delicious chips. They take truly almost no time at all. You can easily feed a small crowd with just a few planks and a few bags of chips.

Cedar Planked Cool Ranch Doritos

Not Just For Show

Cedar planked cool Ranch Doritos look cool. I think they did. It’s not every day that I see a load of chips going onto the grill. Well, not until I did them at least. Now I see it all of the time. They’re the perfect snack. Or side. The cedar aroma and flavor is not overpowering. It’s subtle. You still get the classic chip flavor. But it’s more pronounced. Stronger. Better. And the chips are crunchier.

These little bites of deliciousness are fantastic hot off the grill.

Homemade Old Bay Goldfish Crackers

We were on vacation in Sevierville TN when we had to swing by a Publix grocery store for a few items. I always make sure I peruse the snack and wing sauce aisles of grocery stores when I’m out of town. I never know what I might find. Well, this time, the food gods were shining down on me because I found Old Bay Goldfish crackers. But when I returned home, I could not find them in our stores. That one little bag I had bought did not last long. I needed more. So I made homemade Old Bay Goldfish crackers instead! Just as good, and actually a bit better.

Homemade Old Bay Goldfish Crackers

Better. Much Better.

Why are my homemade Old Bay Goldfish crackers even better than the stuff in the bag? Because I added a lot more Old Bay seasoning is why! I’m addicted to that stuff. I loaded my crackers up big time. Heck yeah, they were finger-licking good! I didn’t let any of the seasoning go to waste, that’s for sure.

Get Your Crunch On

Just a little note. These crackers come out of the oven still a bit soft. Good, but not quite crunchy. They will be. Just let them cool a bit. Resist eating them and let them cool. Or don’t resist.

  • Using a spatula, stir the crackers until they are all coated in the seasoning.
  • Dump the crackers out onto a large baking sheet and spread out evenly.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Stir or shake the tray and bake another 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool before serving. Crackers will get crunchier as they cool.

Slow Cooker Ranch Corn Chips

Well, that was embarrassing. I’m guessing that these slow cooker Ranch corn chips were supposed to last at least a few hours. Heck, it says ‘makes 12 servings’ in the recipe. So much for that idea. They’re just a little too good to sit around. They didn’t last long and I’d be tempted to say it’s more like 4 servings…. or 2. Packed with Ranch flavor, you can’t beat this simple snack recipe. The fact that I’m addicted to Ranch flavors didn’t help me with my self-control. Again.

Slow Cooker Ranch Corn Chips

The Search For Corn Chip Perfection

The recipe for slow cooker Ranch corn chips calls for a single 9.75 ounce bag of chips. I found that our bag had about a cup of crumbs at the bottom. You can’t use those in this recipe. I recommend that you grab 2 bags and sort through them, only using the best chips you find. Save the crumbs to grind and thicken chili. Or sprinkle them on top of salads in lieu of croutons or bacon.

I would point out that the recipe does say to let the chips cool before serving. You’re probably going to find that difficult to do. “The waiting is the hardest part” as Tom Petty once sang.

Instructions

  • Place the chips in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter and the dip seasoning.
  • Pour butter mixture over the chips, gently stirring them with a spatula as you pour so they get covered.
  • Gently stir until the chips are well coated with the butter mixture.
  • Place chips in a slow cooker on high, uncovered, for 2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes or so.
  • Spread the chips out on a large piece of wax paper and let cool before serving.

Notes

You might need to grab 2 bags of chips so that you can get enough perfect chips to make a batch. Our bag had quite a few crumbs in it so we ended not being able to use a good cups worth of them.

Cedar Planked Nacho Cheese Doritos

I had a big time hankerin’ for some Doritos the other day. I was craving that classic crunch and flavor. Well, sorta. I was craving a little something different too. So I made some cedar planked nacho cheese Doritos. I didn’t go crazy with the cedar. After all I’m not making salmon here. I just wanted to add a little crunch and to kick the flavors up a bit. And boy did I ever get what I was lookin’ for!

Cedar Planked Nacho Cheese Doritos

Flavors And Crunch Enhanced

Cedar planked nacho cheese Doritos get a nice little roast, and little char to them. The cedar aroma is there, but it’s light. Perfect. There’s just a slight taste of cedar to the chips. The nacho cheese flavor that we all love is still there but it’s stronger. Better. Hot off the grill, these little bites of heaven disappears in seconds.

Make Extra. You’ll Need Them.

You’ll definitely want to make several planks of these. Nice thing is that they take only minutes too make, so you can always just toss some more chips on the same plank over and over. I think you can get at least four good batches of chips on a single soaked plank before needing to soak it more.

Baked Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

These baked bacon and cheese stuffed mushrooms are the perfect baked appetizer. Tender mushrooms that still have a little ‘bite’ to them. The cheese mixture is fantastic. Three different cheeses and a little seasoning combine with bacon and bell pepper for bite after bite of deliciousness. I say ‘bite’, but if you use small mushrooms you can pop these little treats into your mouth like popcorn. Sure, I did.

Baked Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

Make Ahead For Easy Party Treats

You can pre-make these baked bacon and cheese stuffed mushrooms by doing steps 1-8 then refrigerating the mushrooms for later. Then, when you’re ready to finish them, remove them from the fridge and let come to room temperature for 30 minutes before transferring to a hot oven to cook and heat thoroughly. I’ve found that you can make them up to 24 hours ahead of time and they’ll be fantastic. Of course you can easily double or triple the recipe if you’re serving a larger crowd.

I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.

French Onion Dip Popcorn

Now that it’s a bit cooler out, Sunday afternoons have become our ‘movie time’. We curl up on the sofa and find a classic movie we’ve both always wanted to see. And that means we need a snack to go with it. This French onion dip popcorn was the ideal bowl of crunchy delicious goodness for our latest film choice, Rebel Without A Cause. Quite frankly, I’m not sure which was better. The popcorn or the film!

French Onion Dip Popcorn

Better Than The Dip

You betcha, French onion dip popcorn is packed with that classic dip flavor. A little onion flavor. A little beef bouillon. A bit salty. But hey, don’t stop there. You need more crunch! More onion flavor! Oh yes, bring in the French fried onions! And don’t be shy with them!

Oh. It probably doesn’t need to be mentioned but, yeah, you’re gonna have onion breath.

Old Fashioned Shrimp Dip

I absolutely could not get enough of this old fashioned shrimp dip. My wife made this for the Superbowl. When she brought it out I admit I might have made a face. That ‘what is that?’ face. But I grabbed a cracker and dug in and wow! What a great dip! Fantastically creamy rich, but with the tang of cocktail sauce, this dip packs in tons of flavor and of course my favorite, shrimp!

Old Fashioned Shrimp Dip

Classic Greatness

I think this old fashioned shrimp dip is perfect just as it is. And it’s perfect for a crowd, too. You could, though, substitute crab for the shrimp. I’d be ok with that. Specially since I’m a crab addict in addition to being a shrimp addict. It’s a great dip either way. Just grab lots of crackers!
