Cajun Corn-on-the-Cob on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

The Char-Broil Big Easy is a fantastic all-around cooker. And as much as I use it to cook poultry, that’s not all it does perfectly. This Cajun corn-on-the-cob on the Char-Broil Big Easy is just another great side dish. As with just about anything on the Big Easy, it’s no-fuss and as easy as can be. The corn comes out packed with spicy buttery goodness, cooked perfectly.

Light On Heat, Heavy On Flavor

There is a nice little kick to Cajun corn-on-the-cob on the Char-Broil Big Easy. If you’re worried it might be too spicy (it’s really perfect to me), cut back on the cayenne and red pepper flake. I wouldn’t eliminate them completely. That little heat balances well with the sweetness of the corn. This corn goes great with my Cajun Creole chicken on the Big Easy.

The bunk bed basket lets you double the amount of cooking space you have on your Big Easy. And it’s easy to take in and out of the cooker too!

Grilled Marinated Sausage and Vegetable Medley

We were both blown away by just how wonderfully tasty this grilled marinated sausage and vegetable medley was. The perfect dish for a nice (but kinda warm) spring day here in Indiana, it couldn’t have been any easier. We just grilled a few vegetables and a little smoked sausage, tossed them all into a pan along with some broth and balsamic vinegar, and in no time we had a complete dinner. And yes, like us you’ll want to drink the juices out of the bottom of the pan. It’s divine. It’s what gives all the vegetables such a wonderful flavor.

Grilled Marinated Sausage and Vegetable Medley

No Matter What You Use, It’ll Be Fantastic

There aren’t any rules to making a grilled marinated sausage and vegetable medley. Use whatever meat and vegetables you desire or can find fresh. I went with a no-thrills smoked sausage ring, sliced into rings, and then just grilled a few of our favorite vegetables. Zucchini would also be great in it, along with squash (I love grilled squash and grilled Tuscan vegetables).

Any time you use a disposable pan, make sure you support it from the bottom. I like to slide my grill spatula underneath and lift it up just a little. I then slide a more rigid sheet tray between the pan and grill to support it.

Instructions

  • Fire up your grill for direct and indirect cooking.
  • Grill the sausage then cut into rounds.
  • Toss the potatoes with just a splash of oil and grill (I use a grill basket) until just starting to get soft.
  • Remove.
  • Also place the corn onto the grill.
  • Rotating often, cook until starting to char.
  • In a large deep disposable aluminum pan combine all ingredients.
  • Place back onto the grill over indirect heat and let cook another 30 minutes-1 hour or until the potatoes are completely done and the onions are softened. You don’t want the broth to boil, but a light simmer is ok.
  • Serve hot with plenty of the broth from the bottom of the pan.

Notes

Serve with garlic bread for soppin’.

Crab Cake Po’ Boy

Oh how I do love po’ boys. Guaranteed great bread, with a crunchy crust and soft insides. Fresh toppings that always pack a little kick. And a bag of Zapp’s chips. The perfect meal. This crab cake po’ boy more than hit the spot. Tender, flaky crab cakes on a homemade po’ boy roll, topped with a killer spicy lettuce mix.

Crab Cake Po' Boy

Oh, The Creamy Lettuce Mix!

The lettuce mixture on this crab cake po’ boy has become my standard po’ boy dressing. It has just the right amount of kick for me, and a little crunch. I pick up a head of iceberg lettuce, shred and chop it, and stuff it into a baggie in the fridge, always on hand when I need to make a po’ boy, which is quite often.

I made the bread myself, using a dough recipe that uses a bread machine. The bread is perfect in flavor and texture. But I admit, my dough rolling technique needs work. Sometimes I get perfect loaves, sometimes I don’t. I could substitute French bread,  but honestly it’s not quite the same texture. Close, but not quite. Close enough in a pinch, I’d say.

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Grilled Black Radishes

This is not my first time grilling radishes, but it’s definitely the first time I’ve grilled black radishes. ‘Normal’ little ole red radishes are absolutely delicious when grilled, and they’re something very different. When I came across black radishes I had to grab them even though I had no idea what to expect.

Grilled Black Radishes

Nice And Mellow

My first bite of a raw black radish was spicy. Very spicy. Much hotter than the hottest red radish I’d ever had. But grilled, the black radishes took on a wonderful sweetness. They were no longer overly spicy, instead they were deliciously tame.

I recommend that you use a grill basket when making this dish. It makes cooking easier and you don’t have to worry about anything falling through the grates. And cleanup is easier too!

I would make these again and again. I found the radishes in a specialty market, but hopefully they’ll become more mainstream in time because they are really awesome, and not just grilled. They really weren’t much more expensive than ‘normal’ mushrooms, and they were were worth the extra expense for something new and different. They would be great on sandwiches or salads… yum!

Also try my grilled radishes with gorgonzola butter.

Copycat Firehouse Subs Battalion Chief Sub

I’ve never been to Firehouse Subs. So, I can’t really say for sure that this is a 100% copycat of Firehouse Subs Battalion Chief sub (then again, I don’t see it on the menu any more). But I can say I thought this was a fantastic sandwich and if the rest of the menu at Firehouse Sub’s is anything like this, I need to get on over there and make up for lost time.

Copycat Firehouse Subs Battalion Chief Sub

Great Bite After Bite

Cheese, horseradish, roast beef and lettuce all on a nice toasted roll. Oh, and the surprise? Crunchy fried onions. Oh yeah.

I’m not as big a fan of horseradish as my wife is, even though it does go very, very well with roast beef. But, since finding The Mustard Man’s Simply Horsey mustard, I’ve become a bigger and bigger fan. Simply Horsey combines just the right amount of horseradish with creamy mustard and bit of mayonnaise. It has the perfect consistency for topping this copycat Firehouse Subs Battalion Chief sub.

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Well now, these were different! I’d never thought of making chili-stuffed mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy. Not even in my dreams, where sometimes odd food things can happen. I have to say, they’re quite the addicting little bites. Further proof that the Char-Broil Big Easy isn’t just for poultry (but let’s face it, it does one heck of a good job at that!).

Chili-Stuffed Mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Kick ‘Em Up!

You could definitely spice up your version of chili-stuffed mushrooms on the Char-Broil Big Easy. Use a spicy chili (you probably saw that coming) and shredded habanero jack cheese. Top the mushrooms with jalapeno just before serving. That’ll get the party going!

  • Fire up your Big Easy.
  • Combine the chili, cream cheese, and 1/4 cup of cheddar. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Spoon mixture into the center of the mushrooms. Push it in (gently) to fill the cavity. It’s ok to mound it up a good bit too.
  • Transfer the mushrooms to the Big Easy basket and the Bunk Bed Basket.
  • Place into the Big Easy and cook until the mushrooms are starting to soften, about 15 minutes.
  • You can add the cheese now and return the mushrooms to the Big Easy to melt it, or remove them, transfer to a platter and sprinkle with more cheese.

Notes

Add in a little pepper jack cheese for a nice little kick.

Porkburgers

I never need an excuse to make a recipe that Dave posts on Old Dave’s Po-Farm. That’s why when I saw these porkburgers I was all over them. I knew they’d be as fantastic as Dave said, and they were that and more. You’ll totally re-think the old beef burger for sure. Tender, juicy and packed with flavor. This recipe makes 12 burgers, which might seem like a lot but they’ll be gone so fast you’ll probably want to double it.

Porkburgers

Don’t Hide The Patties

I didn’t go crazy with toppings for our porkburgers. The patties are so flavorful that I didn’t want to hide them. Just a bit of lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo and yellow mustard and that’s it. No cheese required. Nothing that overpowers the fantastic pork patties. They are the start of the show.

Do make sure that you mix the ingredients for the patties and let them sit in the fridge overnight. You’ll get a lot more flavor if you don’t rush your porkburgers.

Buffalo Cowboy Caviar

My wife can attest to my (somewhat) shocking addiction to all things Buffalo wings. So, she wasn’t surprised when I served up this Buffalo Cowboy caviar. What was surprising, though, was just how much we both absolutely loved it. Beans, peas, tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, all good things. But the crunch of the corn and the smoothness of the avocado, along with spicy Buffalo wing sauce pushed this side up a few notches on the ‘love it’ scale.

Buffalo Cowboy Caviar

Surprisingly Good

For a twist, use corn-on-the-cob that has been roasted on a grill or under the broiler until lightly charred. Cut the kernels from the ears (or better, use a corn peeler!) and add to the caviar. You’ll need 3-4 good sized ears to make Buffalo Cowboy caviar.

Meijer Sweet Chili Wing Sauce

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

“Blown away” were the first words that crossed my mind when I took my first bite of chicken wings (cooked using a Vortex) tossed in Meijer’s Sweet Chili wing sauce. With no artificial flavors, I found the sauce to be nothing but pure goodness.

The sauce has a nice heat level, not too much and not too little. A little sweetness and the perfect consistency. Not too gloppy, but perfect for sticking to wings and your fingers. Better than many top shelf wing sauces and a whole lot cheaper.

Meijer Sweet Chili Wing Sauce

My wife’s favorite eat-out wings are the Thai’R Cracker wings from Quaker Steak and Lube. She said that the Meijer sweet chili wing sauce is at least as good and maybe a bit better. That’s saying a lot.

Corn Mashed Potatoes

I love mashed potatoes, any way, any time. Grilled on cedar planks, made with roasted garlic, packed with Boursin cheese, it doesn’t matter how they’re made, I’ll eat them. Adding sweet corn takes potatoes to a new special happy place. That great sweet corn pop with the creaminess of the potatoes makes for the perfect combination. These corn mashed potatoes made for the absolutely best side dish.

Corn Mashed Potatoes

Try Roasted Corn Instead

For a little twist on these corn mashed potatoes, use corn on the cob instead. You’ll need 3-4 cobs depending on the size. Roast the corn first on a grill or under the broiler. Once charred, remove the cobs from the oven and let cool. Then scrape off the kernels and use them in the potatoes.

I use a knife or a peeler to get the kernels off my fresh corn. It makes my life easier when I have a bunch of corn to do!
