Super Bowl Menu

[RiversideSm0ker]

So I’m looking for suggestions for my gameday smoke. I already have a brisket that I will be making for the big game. Can I get some suggestions for things to go with it? One thing that is highly likely will be my wife’s homemade mac n cheese. I’m eager to get this planned. Looking forward to a great cook and hopefully a great game.

For snacks/appetizers: I'd go with the stuffed shrimp and bacon wrapped onion rings recipe highlighted on the home page of the Forum.
Main Course Serving Idea: Grill some pita type breads (think gyro here), slice them, stuff with NYC Dirty Water (Push Cart Style) Onion in (tomato) Sauce and add your brisket to serve as a handheld meal for game time.
Side: The Mrs. M&C and some kosher or polish style pickles or peppers for a contrast flavor.
Here is a link to the recipe I like for the Sauce: https://sassytownhouseliving.com/copycat-sabrett-pushcart-style-onions/ Have fun at game time. And keep in mind, the game outcome is nothing compared to the great meal you are providing!

Shrimp is good. 2 pounds of frozen, shelled, and de-veined raw shrimp. Thawed, rinsed, and dried with a paper towel and into a foil pan. One sprig of fresh rosemary. Half pound of salted butter. 6 cloves of diced garlic, a liberal sprinkling of Savory, and a lot of grated Parmesan cheese. On the grill or smoker @ 275 degrees for 20 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink. Which ever comes first. Very few things that I smoke that I don't throw a foil pan of this shrimp in the smoker with it.

Serving this on cooked linguine with it is pretty good also.

Down under we have this thing called beer ; )..... you also might like to add some home made cornbread https://www.charmate.co.nz/recipes/charmate-cornbread or how about some jalapeno poppers https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/20858/best-ever-jalapeno-poppers/

Pork shots! Great app while awaiting the main event. I'll second those bacon wrapped onion rings too.

 

[RiversideSm0ker]

So pig shots definitely got my attention. I made this once and recall how great they were. Can I get a few suggestions for your favorite versions? I have lots of smoked sausage already and believe I even have the bacon. I just need to decide what to stuff them with. Keep the suggestions coming. I'm loving everything so far.

I third that. I should be smoking bacon next Wednesday or Thursday.

I will be smoking Moinks. bacon wrapped meatballs that I sprinkle with rub and glaze with bbq sauce. We will have a smattering of stuff but haven't decided on the rest yet. Link to previous cook of Moinks below.

Moinks 2 ways. BBQ beer and Raspberry Chipotle. + Pork Tenderloin

This is my first contribution to this forum. I have used this website numerous times in the past for help. It has been extremely useful and I finally got around to providing a cook of my own. First, I decided to do some moinks. Just store bought meatballs wrapped in thin cut bacon. I added...

I hope you served this early on before the game. After eating the plate you put out, I'd be joining the pup as well for that afternoon food crash?!

Brisket, Mac n cheese, and slaw is a plated perfection.

ABTs , plus smoked shrimp cocktail, for appetizers.

Blender-made frozen banana mock ice cream shakes for dessert.

I hear that Jim. Mine doesn't like PP much, so we only get to have 2-3 times a year, if I'm lucky.

 

[JLeonard]

Wurstmeister No sad face.....Not as much left overs and can come up with more pregame snacks and etc.
MJB05615 She likes pulled pork but she really likes tenderloin as do I....So no biggie.

You all have some great ideas. It’s just me and Kenna so I can’t get too crazy with tons of food but those moinks are sounding awesome right now. Maybe I could do those on some different day. Cream cheese and jalapeño stuffed chicken thighs could be another good option for variety but I’m just not sure yet. You guys are totally psyching me up for this cook.

I typically do the following: half and half cream cheese to either cheddar or 4 cheese mexican blend (not seasoned). I probably actually do more shredded cheee than cream cheese. Add in some diced jalapeño and some rib rub. Using thick cut bacon will make it much easier to wrap and stuff. I just use a decent kielbasa for the sausage. Even if you don't want them hot, I'd add a bit of jalapeño unless people are really intolerant and then I'm simply add jalapeño to some. I've made with and without at the same time and the with wins among my friends by a mile ;) Pretty much like Jeff's recipe but I use less cream cheese in my ratio.
