After I finish writing this post I will curl up in front of a big bowl of these tangy pit beans and go to town on them. I love baked beans, and this is a very, very good variation on the theme. They are not boring. They have just the right amount of tang. And … Continue reading “Tangy Pit Beans”
That’s it. I’m done. There’s absolutely no need for me to ever make any other hamburger patties besides the ones on these Tex-Mex bacon cheeseburgers. Sure, the cheese sauce is amazing (it’s actually a bit beyond amazing, and would also be fantastic on hot dogs), but the patties are the star of the show. Any … Continue reading “Tex-Mex Bacon Cheeseburgers”
I love a spicy bean dip. Served up with a big ole bowl of warmed tortilla chips. Melted cheese, refried beans, spicy sausage, and lots of heat. I made this Mexican bean dip on the Char-Broil Big Easy in no time at all. You can make it in your oven too, just as easily. But … Continue reading “Mexican Bean Dip on the Char-Broil Big Easy”

They are truly one of my favorite foods. I like my potatoes done perfectly, with a slightly crunch skin. If … Continue reading “Baked Potatoes on the Char-Broil Big Easy”

Much higher than you would normally run a smoker so you have to adjust the cooking times. Of course, but the rest … Continue reading “Mini Habanero Meatloaves on the Char-Broil Big Easy”
I doubt I’ll ever make mashed potatoes the ‘old way’ again after making cedar planked Cajun mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes on cedar planks on a hot grill are incredible. The cedar flavor (and aroma) is not overwhelming, but it adds a wonderful new dimension to mashed potatoes. Add some Cajun butter and you have what … Continue reading “Cedar Planked Cajun Mashed Potatoes”
Also known as Canadian steak seasoning, this Montreal steak seasoning mix is perfect on burgers, steaks or potatoes. Or on my favorite, smoked habanero meatloaf. This is a great mix to keep on hand in the pantry at all times. Make It Coarse. Or Fine. The original recipe for Montreal steak seasoning (as stated below) … Continue reading “Montreal Steak Seasoning”
I served these fantastic deluxe onion burgers three different ways over three nights. Two were on buns, and one was bun-less. All three versions were absolutely fantastic. The patties have a nice kick to them, thanks to the spicy V8 juice and some sassy Russ & Franks BBQ sauce (substitute your favorite if you can’t … Continue reading “Deluxe Onion Burgers”
