These Hasselback potatoes have been pretty popular across food blogs for some time now. We couldn't resist the opportunity to cook them on the grill and add a couple of our own personal touches in the process. If you're new to the idea, the Hasselback potato is a potato that has been cut into vertical slices, though not all the way through so that the potato holds together while it bakes. We're adding two different cheeses, butter, cream and more for that scalloped potato flavor that we all love!
Chef Tom walks you through our process for trimming, seasoning, smoking and saucing competition style ribs. This is our recipe for every KCBS competition we cook (when we have time), and has done well for us landing us in the top 10 on more than one occasion.
The Big Game is just days away, but, for once, all of you master procrastinators who have no idea what you’ll be cooking are in better shape than most. That’s because this dessert is better than most, and an ideal addition to your game day spread. Think chunky Nutella meets salted caramel on a flakey, buttery crust. Now clean the drool off your phone or keyboard and check out this recipe!
We’re less than a week away from Fat Tuesday, so why not whip up a Cajun favorite in celebration of Mardi Gras?! Certainly, there are plenty of culinary traditions to choose from, but when a sandwich is an option, you can bet I’m picking the sandwich. The Po’ Boy is a classic with so many variations that it’s hard to choose just one. That’s how we ended up with the Fried Oyster AND Hot Link Po’ Boy! And the beauty is, by utilizing the versatility of the Napoleon Prestige, you can do it all on the grill. And we did.
I’m not sure where I came up with this recipe, but I’m glad I did. Tater tots, our favorite Wing-Time Buffalo Wing Sauce, three kinds of cheese and some jalapeños combine to make an awesome dish that is perfect for dipping a hefty tortilla chip in.
Spatchcock chicken and Mexican food, two of our favorite foods, come together in this recipe for a sweet and savory twist on quesadillas. And, as always, it can be done start to finish on the grill!
Spaghetti is good. Pizza is awesome. Spaghetti Pizza (Spaghizza) is epic! I feel like most people would make pizza at home more often if it wasn’t for the headache of making the dough from scratch or having to go out and find a quality pre-made dough. It’s not even that it’s all that difficult, but it does require some time and planning.
Enter spaghetti crust. Most of us have spaghetti in the pantry. You might even have some leftover in the fridge. With the addition of a couple of ingredients, you can turn that spaghetti into pizza crust. Check it out!
We’re packing big flavor into this simple four ingredient recipe for bacon wrapped green beans! You could put Smoke on Wheels BBQ Marinade, Cattleman’s Grill Tri-tip Seasoning and bacon on just about anything and it’d taste great, so why not green beans?
We may all be wrapping up football season, but that doesn’t mean we have to wrap up tailgate food! I love this recipe because a good deal of it can be done ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to party! You may have seen something like this floating around the internet. There have been some fried versions out there that have gone a bit viral, but you know that we had to give it a BBQ twist! It’s the fire from a hot grill and the BBQ sauce glaze that set this one apart. If you’re a fan of The Sauce, we’ll bet you prefer the grilled version as well!
One of the things I love about cooking on the Yoder Smokers pellet grills is the versitility of foods that they allow me to prepare. I’m not limited to just smoking pork butts, or only grilling steaks. These cookers have the range and consistency to do it all! It’s that temperature consistency that makes even baking a cinch. Whether it’s dump cake out of a box, made from scratch pound cake, or cheesecake bars, I can count on the smoker doing the job as well or better than the oven inside the house.
If your New Year’s resolution is to eat more cheese, then you’re in luck. We’ve got cheese. Creamy, delicious Brie smothered in raspberry jalapeno jam and wrapped up in buttery, flaky puff pastry. You know you want it.
If there is one thing as popular as smoked meats here at All Things Barbecue, it’s peppers. It’s not an accident that we stock the store with all kinds of chile-centric marinades, rubs, sauces, glazes, salsas and more. Our love for all things peppers is why we keep tinkering with jalapeño popper recipes. This time we’ve managed to jam more green chile into this green chile than ever before.
Molasses Roasted Carrots and Fennel adds a touch of sweetness to your roasted root veggies this winter to really round out your holiday (or any other day) meal. This side goes great alongside steak or pork chops AND you can prepare it on your grill!
Chef Tom breaks down our method of preparing competition chicken thighs. This is the recipe we use in KCBS competitions and incorporates tips, techniques and methods we have learned from competition barbecue pitmasters like Andy Groneman of Smoke on Wheels Competition BBQ (Kansas City) and “BBQ Brian” Misko of House of Q (British Columbia, Canada).
Moink balls (that’s “moo” and “oink”) are beef meatballs wrapped in bacon. If there is one BBQ appetizer that you need to know about, it’s the moink ball. It’s beef, it’s pork, it’s awesome!
Chef Tom takes a classic Mexican street food and puts a twist on it by using a quesadilla as a bun for our bacon wrapped Creekstone Farms Uncured Pork Franks. Topped with chipotle mayo, avocado, cotija cheese and some jalapeños.
Certainly, there is more than one way to bake a cake, but this technique is unlike most. Don’t worry, it’s not any more involved than a typical cake, and the hot fudge like sauce that is created in the process is totally worth putting the box cake aside and giving it a shot!
