Super Bowl Sunday - What's on your menu?

[gmc2003]

I’m going with three racks of baby backs on my OKJ and some Sam’s Club pterodactyl wings on the kettle with the vortex. I’d love to make more but we aren’t having guests. I’m taking leftover ribs to work the next day. My wife is going to make her mac n cheese. We haven’t decided on other sides yet though. If I can find some decent avocados then I’ll definitely make some guacamole. There will most certainly be some various chips and dips. It’s going to be around 80 here so the land that winter forgot will have no issues with smoking weather.

Sounds like another match made in heaven. I bet your gonna have some happy co-worker even if the chiefs win. Assuming you guys are rooting for the 9ers.

I was going to go find me some beef ribs but started drinking the whiskey early so maybe tomorrow if not I got chicken breasts bone in for the 560. I do have taco stuff made already but that will probably be gone by sunday hehe.

Sounds like a good option. Like I said earlier I'm not well versed in Mexican, but I do like the little I've tried. Smoked chicken breast are a favorite around our house. I'm not a liquor drinker, but have been in that situation with my PBRs. Wifey wasn't to happy.

Ummmmm How about you place forty plastic Dixie cups on a table. Fill each one with your favorite beer, and write the name of a rub on the bottom of each cup. Bounce a ping pong ball into the cups. Drink the cup the ball lands in, and toss that cup into the trash. Repeat until there is only one cup left, and thats the rub you use.

Iv alway had a hard time making decisions. Not just in bbq all kinds of things. Now I know what to do. Lol! Learn something new here every day. ....now ...what to have for dinner?

I just finally ordered the vortex. How do you do vortex beer can chicken with it?

Flip the Vortex over so the big opening up facing up. Surround the Vortex with charcoal and lite. Put your chicken on a beer can full of water(no sense wasting good beer, as it doesn't really add any flavor) or you can use a chicken stand. Put a disposable pie pan down in the center of the Vortex and stand the chicken on the pan. Pretty simple and it works well.

Make sure you have plenty of options to start with.

Not a problem chris, hard to screw up, especially with your superb decision making. So 1st off feel free to drink a beer or two before and after each step.
2 lbs of burger
1 block velveeta cheese
2 (16) oz jars pace salsa

Brown the burger with some onion and drain then put in crock pot. Cube up velveeta and add to crock pot along with salsa. Now we don't add all the cheese and salsa at once. When adding the cheese stir occasionally and check the consistency as you add. By not adding all cheese and salsa you can make it to the consistency you like and flavor, can always add more. Now you can use any salsa you like and add any seasonings, this is my wife's grandma's recipe and we like it as is. Would be easy to customize it to your liking

Thanks Ryan, That sounds really good. I probably won't get to make it this weekend but it's bookmarked for future gatherings.

I forgot to ask if this was part of grandmas directions? If it was then that's my kind of Granny.

Nice, I have about as much a chance at finding TT around here as I do finding a live wholly mammoth.

Chris, probably not that grandma...went to her house once for Christmas and walked into her saying " whew! Its warm in here and fanning her face", her glass of wine was about the size of a shot glass. But on the other hand, her liquor cabinet is pretty well stocked...I believe she's 89 now

Nice! $2.99 is the lowest they go here in So Cal. Whenever I see that price I buy as many as I can. My wife absolutely loves tri tip smoked on my OKJ.

Pretty fatty cuts ...trimmed them both up and it took me a while but for the price not gonna whine :<).

 

[clifish]

$8.99 untrimmed..kind of steep. I think paid $7.99 for trimmed. But even at $8.99 it is still worth it for the taste.

Thanks to this site, we're having lox with veggie cream cheese on pumpernickel, beaver tail, and chili. The lox recipe is the best I've found. The beaver tail is a few flank steaks that were marinated for 2 days, dried, cold smoked for a few hours, and then sous vide the next day. The chili is a strange recipe that is healthy. One of the ingredients is canned pumpkin. It adds lots of body and you're not able to even taste it. It also has lots of dried Hatch red chili powder. A good chili that's good for you. Hope you all have a good one.

I am so sad, I was planning on stuffed Poblanos wrapped with bacon, But my smoker had an element short while smoking candy nuts on Monday. It took out the solid state relay (SSR) on the smoker. I'm in the process of rewiring, and getting the SSR in, but I won't be done in time to prep and cook the meal.

Sounds good Cueinco, I often serve lox on those mini pumpernickel loaves you can get at the grocers. What are you marinating the flanks in? We use Teriyaki sauce but only for a few hours then flash grill them over an extremely high heat. I've heard of adding pumpkin to things for a thickener, but have yet to try it out. Enjoy sounds like a good time.

Well isn't that a total bummer - Classic Murphy's law. Are you going to do poblanos in the oven instead? Let us know when your back in action.

Tri tip for us!
I just found out yesterday that our local Publix is going to be stocking Tri tip all the time now so I just had to pick one up. They are a bit pricey, I think I paid $7.49 lb. But I haven't had one in years, so it's worth it to me!

When I lived in Elk Grove I used to score tri's when they came on sale for $2.99lb, untrimmed. I weighed the fat I trimmed off and it worked out to where I paid about $3.75lb. I'm still waiting to find a decent price here in AZ. RAY
