Sweet and smoky, thick and saucy, packed with bacon crumbles, these Semi-Homemade Slow Cooker Bourbon Bacon Baked Beans will be the best and easiest side dish in recent memory…I promise!
These easy Slow Cooker beans use a can of pre-mixed baked beans as a base, adds a ton of crispy bacon crumbles, bourbon, brown sugar, and the perfect spice mix to make the most in-demand side dish you may have every created!
…These Grilled Homemade Italian Meatballs come together in minutes. Traditional in technique, incredibly tender, packed full of Italian flavor and parmesan cheese, these meatballs are then grilled to caramelized barbecue-grill perfection!
These melt-in-your-mouth meatballs are everything a meatball should be. Made with equal portions ground beef and pork, the Italian herbs and cheeses are combined with garlic and light and airy panko bread crumbs for a tender inside and a perfect exterior crust creating the ULTIMATE meatball recipe!
…Smoky, crazy juicy, super flavorful, these Garlic Parmesan Grilled Spare Ribs will knock your socks off! A simple, flavor-packed marinade tenderizes them to perfection, hands-off grilling, and then a drizzle of the most luscious, garlic-butter with a sprinkle of salty parmesan? Ummmmmm….Yes, please!
Is it a sacrilege to put cheese on ribs???
…Rubbed with a smoky, chipotle brown sugar rub, this Smokey Brown Sugar Crusted Pork Tenderloin is grilled to juicy perfection. A squeeze of fresh lime juice perfectly compliments each bite of sticky, crusty and perfectly moist lean pork.
Pork Tenderloin is a great weeknight grill choice. I feel like pork tenderloin (and pork loin) is vastly underused. It can be incredibly juicy, tender, takes marinades and rubs well, is low in fat and therefore a health conscience choice, and relatively inexpensive per pound.
…Envision a luscious cube of ham wrapped in candied bacon; bacon with a crispy, bubbly, bourbon brown sugar glaze. These Bourbon Bacon cubes of magical deliciousness are interspersed with fresh pineapple, colorful pieces of tender crisp bell peppers, red onions, and then grilled to perfection! That, my friends, is Bourbon Bacon Ham and Pineapple Kabobs on the Grill.
I love this twist on kabobs for several reasons. The obvious is the Bourbon Candied Bacon!
…Fresh Green Bean Casserole from Scratch has tender, crisp green beans, caramelized mushrooms and shallots, smokey prosciutto, fennel and a garlic cream sauce all topped with a golden, buttery panko and parmesan crust.
Ok, truth. This is not the easy-peezy, green bean casserole from a series of cans.
This Green Bean Casserole is a slight pain in the you-know-what to make to be perfectly honest. But, in my humble opinion and for whatever it is worth, it is THE BEST one you will ever eat. I would even go as far as to say think Can-O-Spam verse a perfectly cooked beef tenderloin.
The fresh ingredients brought together in the spirit of this iconic dish, but in a most updated and foodie fabulous way, takes this formerly canned side dish to the surprise Super-Star of the meal.
…Pasta on the grill…Say what? Grilling the ingredients for this simple pasta dish ups the flavor ante in a way you won’t believe! Grilled Salsiccia Pasta uses classic Italian ingredients that are roasted to sweet and smoky perfection on the barbecue and then blended into an easy, simple pasta sauce.
Roasted red peppers, garlic, and onion pair beautifully with zesty, grilled Salsiccia Italian sausages. Grilling them really makes the flavors shine and intensify as they reach caramelized perfection on the grill.
…This easy Barbecued Pulled Pork recipe is slow roasted in the oven to fall-apart, melt-in-your-mouth, fork-tender perfection.
Seasoning is everything. A pork shoulder, or pork butt, is covered with a brown sugar and spice rub and roasted in a flavor-packed, tenderizing beer bath until it literally is falling apart. Choose to add sauce or go naked, it’s amazing either way!
Barbecued Pulled Pork is also a great make-ahead dish for parties and tailgating and a secret weapon on weeknight dinners. It can be used in countless meals like Pulled Pork Sandwiches with my favorite Pineapple Slaw, pork tacos, pork nachos, in pasta, on pizza, the list is endless!
…These Bourbon Candied Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers have the spicy bite of fresh Jalapeno filled with creamy, smooth cream cheese, all wrapped to perfection in a bourbon, candied, crunchy, salty piece of thick-cut bacon!
Was there every a more perfect party appetizer?
