Chef Tom shares two unique recipes for How to Make Ketchup; Classic Ketchup made from canned tomatoes and Fire Roasted Habanero Ketchup with fresh tomatoes and a fiery kick!
Looking for some cold weather comfort food? Chef Tom's got you covered with his Smoked Pork Ragu. Boston Butt pork shoulder smoked on the Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill, then braised in a rich San Marzano tomato sauce and served on a bed of pappardelle pasta!
Chef Tom fires up the Clementi Wood-Fired Oven and bakes an amazing Wood-Fired Calzone, featuring scratch-made dough, mouth watering filling, cheese for days and a red sauce for dipping!
We all love Chili Frito Pie! Chef Tom makes a few adjustments to his Smoked Tri-tip Chili to utilize freezer and pantry staple items for that party snack that everyone loves, hello grilled Frito Chili Pie!
Sloppy Joes with a barbecue twist! These are as easy as comfort food gets, and you probably already have everything you need to make them in your pantry!
Chef Britt fires up the grill for a big batch of Chicken Tikka Masala: a flavor-packed curry with char-grilled chicken! This dish is a surefire winner!
Chef Tom brings you a Midwest spin on this Italian classic, braising segments of oxtail in a rich flavor base of tomatoes, veggies, herbs and wine in a cast iron dutch oven on the grill. Oxtail Osso Buco served on a bed of creamy polenta is the winter warmer you’ve been waiting for!
If you like the idea of a cocktail that features the most outrageous garnishes you can imagine (bacon? slider? smoked beef jerky?!) and is designed to be consumed before noon, then please read on. We present to you our take on bunch’s favorite cocktail. This is the Bloody Mary with scratch-made smoked beef jerky!
It’s not thin crust, and you probably won’t be folding it, but you are going to love the OTHER New York Style Pizza. This is a dish that Italian grandmas on Long Island have been whipping up for decades. It’s a style not often found outside of New York, but it’s time to spread the word. This is Grandma Pie.
Spring is upon us, so hopefully everyone who hasn’t been grilling and smoking all winter long is dusting off the smoker and ready to kick out some killer tacos! This is a recipe that you’ll want to try now, because it’s going to be a hit all Spring and Summer long! Check out these Brisket Tacos with Smoked Salsa, cooked on the Yoder Smokers Pellet Grill.
This baked version of the Italian American classic dish, Chicken Parmesan, is easy enough to pull off on a weeknight, but has such impressive flavor that you’ll be cooking it to impress at parties for years to come!
Chef Tom cooks up a lasagna from scratch starting with homemade noodles, meat sauce, and a béchamel before layering it all together and baking it with a blend of two cheeses.
Ratatouille, the classic French dish of stewed vegetables is elevated here by first grilling the vegetables before combining them with canned San Marzano tomatoes in a cast iron dutch oven for a creamy finish.
We love Chili around here, and the season is right. Instead of ground beef, we take a page out of the competition chili handbook and swapped to tri-tip as it is lean, and will continue to stay tender when braised without falling apart. Enjoy!
Chicken Parmesan is a lot of folks' favorite Italian dish. This recipe combines Chicken Parmesan with pizza (who doesn't love pizza?!) and transforms them into a party perfect pinwheel of finger food excellence!
