One of our favorite dishes around here is Chef Tom’s Smoked Green Chili Mac and Cheese. This dish is crammed full of flavor, and is the perfect side for your next big cookout.
Just when you thought we’d run out of ways to use bacon… We’re employing a brand new (to us) technique that might change all kinds of classic foods (like turning regular chicken wings into Bourbon Bacon Chicken Wings!). It’s bacon paste!
Summer is coming to an end and we're quickly approaching tailgate season. It's the perfect time to be outdoors and enjoying the good food with good people. Steak Modiga might just be the perfect addition to your late summer or game day cookouts! We're pounding out sirloin steaks, marinating them and breading them with cheese and breadcrumbs before rolling them up and placing them on skewers. It's almost like a pinwheel version of chicken fried steak!
One of the most beautiful things about potatoes is that there are SO MANY ways you can enjoy them. So, if you’re tired of baked or mashed or whatever your potato rut may be, dive into this killer Pesto Potato recipe.
Chef Tom cooks up the famous bacon bite recipe from BBQ Brian Misko’s “Grilling with House of Q” cookbook. A slab of cured bacon, cut into large strips and smoked, and then direct grilled before being sliced into cubes. Delicious!
Jalapeño poppers are a favorite appetizer around here. We’re always looking for ways to tweak our poppers to make them new and exciting again, so when Steven Raichlen visited us and shared his bacon wrapped snow crab jalapeño poppers from his book Project Smoke, we couldn’t wait to share them with all of you!
Pizza is a lot of people’s favorite food. Make sure yours is the best it can be with a killer dough recipe and the tips and techniques we show off in this video.
It's heating up out there. Cool off with this refreshing recipe for Asian inspired grilled pork loin, pineapple and onion skewers on a bed of cool crisp cucumber noodles, smothered in a sweet, salty and spicy peanut sauce!
Chef Tom smokes up some amazingly tender dry style baby back ribs. Rubbed with a little Plowboys BBQ Yardbird and Cattleman's Grill 8 Second Ride, they had the perfect balance of sweet and heat while retaining an amazing texture.
Chef Tom uses our Napoleon Grills P500RSIB to its full potential. He fries chips on the infrared side burner, grills chicken over charcoal and cooks up veggies on a cast iron griddle.
If you're looking for a fun way to spice up your grill life, check out these cheeseburger dogs. They're essentially a cheeseburger morphed into hot dog form. Oh, and they're stuffed with cheese!
It's not exactly the meatloaf you grew up eating. It's wrapped in bacon, cuddled up to cream cheese and beer battered onion rings and kissed with chipotle ketchup, all before getting a bear hug from a sweet slider bun. I don't want to say it's better than what your Mom made you as a kid, but it is.
Sticky, sweet, salty and spicy ribs! These have a great flavor profile, but the magic is in the cooking technique. We're slicing the ribs BEFORE smoking them, which allows for more cooking surface which means more rub which means more flavor. Not to mention, the cooking process takes a fraction of the time.
