Grilled Scallion Sweet Potatoes

You could always make these fantastic sweet potatoes in the oven, but if you have it full of food (such as a Thanksgiving turkey), just toss them on the grill like these grilled scallion sweet potatoes. I often cook sides on the grill, especially if I’m cooking them at a family get-together (you never know if there will be room in the oven when you get there!).

Grilled Scallion Sweet Potatoes

Totally Different

These grilled scallion sweet potatoes are tasty and sweet, with a nice hit from the green onions. We really liked them. Sweet potatoes are an often-overlooked side dish. They shouldn’t be, they’re fantastic! I had never thought about combining them with green onions. But that onion bite really offsets a lot of the sweetness. Without hiding it. It’s a great combination.

Pig Shots

Pig shots (and variations) are a common treat at BBQ competitions. I’ve never tried them. So I thought I’d give them a shot throw a few on my smoker when doing my last smoke. Sausage, bacon, cream cheese and seasonings make for a great treat. It’s important to have a few little treats to snack on as a day’s worth of smoking goes on. A lot of these little delicious morsels became cook’s treats. Those are the bites that the cook gets to take before everyone else. That’s one of the best things of being the cook.

Pig Shots

Easy To Make. Even Easier To Eat.

Pig shots are incredibly easy to make. You can use different combinations of creamed cheese and rubs to make your own flavors. You could even have a ‘pig shot’ flight. A combination of savory, sweet and spicy ones! That’d be awesome!

Instructions

  • Heat your smoker to 225 F.
  • Cut the bacon pieces in half in the middle.
  • Cut the sausage into coins that are half as thick as the bacon is high when stood on edge.
  • Wrap the bacon around the sausage and secure with a toothpick. You want the bottom of the sausage to be even with the bottom of the bacon. This will form a level edge on the bottom, and a little ‘cup’ at the top for the remaining ingredients.
  • Spoon some cream cheese into each 'cup'.
  • Sprinkle with brown sugar and your favorite BBQ rub.
  • Place on smoker until the bacon is done and just starting to crisp up.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

Best served immediately.

Grilled Hobo Packets

I was surprised as to how well these grilled Hobo packets came out. The first time I made them, they were a little bland, so I made a few changes the second time and they turned out great! This does not have to be a follow-the-recipe recipe. You can pretty much go with whatever ingredients you have available. Use dark meat chicken instead. Or smoked sausage. Don’t like squash? Leave it out. It’s just not that picky of a recipe and it’s hard to make it come out tasting bad.

Grilled Hobo Packets

Dinner In A Packet

These are very easy to make and cook (I made them on my trusty Weber grill!). They’re perfect for a hot evening when you don’t want to heat up the house – everything is in one simple packet. The flavors all meld and get happy inside as they cook. You can leave out what you don’t want and add more of what you do want. Just don’t forget the Cajun seasoning. And depending on how much liquid cooks out of your vegetables, you might find yourself adding a bit more of the dressing. Just be careful opening the packets, as the steam is hot (it is steam after all!).

Smoked SPAM

I fired up my smoker the other day. I was going to smoke a big chub of bologna. I figured I might as well throw a few bricks of SPAM on there too. There was plenty of room. I’m a big fan of not wasting space on a smoker. It’s already lit, why waste it? I haven’t had SPAM in like 100 years, and I’ve heard that smoking it makes it even better, so I figured… why not? Well, believe me, smoked SPAM is awesome!

Smoked Spam

A Blank Canvas For Flavors

I tried this two ways. One I just scored the SPAM and sprinkled it with Dizzy Pig Swamp Venom before putting it onto the smoker.

The other SPAM was scored in a checkerboard pattern. It expanded sort of like a Bloomin’ Onion. I then inserted some pineapple chunks and onto the smoker it went! Yum! Either way is fantastic. You can’t go wrong with smoked SPAM.

  • Heat your smoker to 225 F.

  • Score the other block in a checkerboard pattern. Sprinkle with rub.
  • Smoke for 2 hours. Insert pineapple chunks into SPAM with the checkerboard pattern.
  • Smoke another hour.
  • Slice the SPAM without the pineapple and serve on sandwiches. (You can also brown them a bit in a skillet or on the grill first).
  • Serve the SPAM with pineapple as an appetizer with crackers.

Notes

I used regular SPAM but other flavors would be great too!

Spiraled Hot Dogs

Just tossing a few dogs on the grill is a quick way to get dinner done. But those plain-old looking dogs can get mighty boring after a while. Of course you can put all sorts of fancy toppings on them (my favorite is the Chicago dog or just chili, onions and cheese). Another simple way to visually jazz them up is to score them in a spiral pattern, making spiraled hot dogs. This not only looks cool, it also gives your condiments a way to hold on to the dog.

Spiraled Hot Dogs

Easy Once You Get The Hang Of It

To make the spiral, just start on one end with a sharp knife held at a 30-to-45 degree angle (the sharper the angle, the less spirals you’ll get) and start to rotate the dog. I find it’s easier to do with the dog standing up on one end. Start at the top with the knife, rotating the dog until the knife gets to the bottom.

For an extra flash, score the ends with a ‘+’ sign, 1/4″-1/2″ deep.

Grill the dogs until they puff up pretty and golden brown!

Smoked Bologna

Sometimes you want to change things up from the usual smoke – ribs, pulled pork and the like. I was feeling that way the other day when I fired up my Weber Smokey Mountain Charcoal Smoker. So, I ran down to the grocery store and picked up a 5 pound roll of bologna. The woman behind the counter wanted to know how I wanted it sliced. She looked at me rather puzzled when I told her I wanted the whole thing as-is. I told her I was making smoked bologna and that it was going to be a happy day.

Smoked Bologna

I’m Scoring Challenged

Scoring the bologna can be challenging, but you don’t have to worry if it doesn’t come out perfect. It lets the smoke in a bit better and gives the BBQ sauce a place to hold on to. You can see my Red Chile smoked bologna for further proof you don’t have to get all fancy when you score your bologna.

The Best Sandwiches Ever

Sliced thin, smoked bologna is the best bologna you’ll ever have. It has a light smoky flavor and makes for absolutely excellent sandwiches. I used Cashman’s BBQ sauce on the bologna and really liked it. Our neighbor’s daughter brought it to us from Defiance, OH. I wish we had it here in Indy! (I think they no longer exist, so substitute your favorite sauce!)

Meatloaf TV Dinner Part 1: The smoked meatloaf

My wife and I picked up some old lunch trays at the antique mall recently. Ever since then we’ve been wanting to make a TV dinner-like meal. We settled on this outstanding combination of smoked meatloaf, scratch mashed potatoes with gravy, fantastic herbed peas and carrots, and a light apple pie wonton crunch.

The Star Of The Show

In this part 1 of our dinner, we’ll make the meatloaf. This was made on the smoker. You could also make it on a grill (over indirect heat), or in your oven. The original recipe came from a Texas BBQ Rub newsletter. You should try their rubs – they’re great! And sign up for their newsletter. It’s always full of great recipes, like this one!

Grilled Turkey Breast Po Boy

I picked up a 3 or so pound boneless, skinless turkey breast the other day. I was going to smoke it and use it in turkey salad sandwiches, but instead I grilled it and sliced it thin for po boys, which I made two ways. Nothing beats a tender, juicy grilled turkey breast po boy on fresh bread with fresh toppings.

Grilled Turkey Breast Po Boy

You don’t have to make these grilled turkey breast po boys the same way every time. I didn’t.

The first time, I served up on a hoagie roll with Southern broccoli slaw. I’ve always liked slaw on pulled pork sandwiches, and have found it goes just as well on any grilled meat sandwich.

The second po boy (ok, more a sandwich) was served up on a hamburger bun with Kaw-Cajun comeback sauce (recipe courtesy Chez John), lettuce, red onion and tomato. The perfect sandwich.

Grilled Chinese Long Green Beans

The produce section at Jungle Jim’s in Cincinnati is fantastic. The last time we were there I noticed they had Chinese long green beans, so I picked up a pound. I’ve seen them used on cooking shows on TV, but I’ve never cooked them. I figured I’d try out some grilled Chinese long green beans. And I’m glad I did!

Grilled Chinese Long Green Beans

Add Some Contrast

I decided to make these grilled Chinese long green beans along with some sliced radishes and minced garlic. I liked the slight heat from the radishes. And of course garlic and green beans were made for each other. Grilling adds that extra flavor you’re just not going to get on the stovetop.

These beans have great green bean flavor that you are used to. Plus they’re fun to look at. They are over a foot long!
