Last week we had friends come over to celebrate Ava Grace's Birthday. It was the first time having people over since moving into our new house.

This is a great recipe if you also find yourself with leftover pulled pork. Let me show you how easy they are to make yourself. Ingredients: Pulled Pork Sliced Red Onion BBQ Sauce 1 can of Black Beans Tortillas chopped Cilantro Shredded Cheese (I used Cheddar Jack and Queso Quesadilla) Start by draining you can of Black Beans.

While that heats up add your Tortillas to warm them up as well. Flip over and begin to fill. Start with the pulled Pork and red Onion mixture. Add some Cilantro on top, and then some of the Black Beans. Finally top with your shredded Cheese. Fold and cook until the Cheese has melted and the Tortillas are toasted. Serve and enjoy!

One of my favorite things to cook is Pork Tenderloin. The problem is that it is extremely easy to overcook since it is such a thin piece of meat. By cooking it sous vide you guarantee that it will never overcook, and that it will be juicy and full of flavor. Adding a Honey Soy marinade take it to the next level. Let me show you how easy it is to make yourself. Ingredients: Pork Tenderloin (or Pork Loin Filet) 1/2 cup Honey 1/2 cup Soy Sauce 4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar 1 1/2 Tablespoons Ginger 2 Tablespoons Ketchup 2 Tablespoons minced Garlic 2 teaspoons Onion Powder 2 Tablespoons chopped Fresh Parsley 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Set aside. Next remove any fat or silver skin from your Pork. Vacuum seal the Pork in a bag for a minimum of 1/2 hours to overnight. Sous vide cook at 142 degrees for 1-4 hours. When done remove and save the liquid in the bag. Reduce the liquid down in a saucepan to make a nice gravy. Dry off the Pork completely with paper towels. Final step is to apply a hot sear. You can do this many different ways. I threw my Pork on a hot Gas Grill for a few minutes on each side. Slice and enjoy! To watch me make this recipe step by step simply watch my video below.

Having grown up in the suburbs of Chicago I learned to love Hot Dogs, especially the Classic Chicago Hot Dog. Today I will try something different, I will make the Classic Memphis Style Smoked BBQ Hot Dogs. Smoked Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs Glazed with BBQ Sauce and topped with Green Onion and Cheese. These are Delicious, and very easy to make. A great way for you to take your boring Hot Dogs to the next level of flavor. Ingredients: Good Quality Hot Dogs Thin sliced Bacon Chopped white onion Chopped green onion BBQ Sauce Shredded Cheddar Cheese Hot Dog Buns Start by wrapping each dog with a slice of Bacon. Secure each end with a toothpick. I smoked these on the Smoke setting on my pellet grill for about 45 minutes, which is around 170 degrees. Then I cranked the temperature up to 250-275 degrees. This allows the Bacon to crisp up and fully cook. Once the Bacon looks cooked you can glaze some BBQ sauce on the Dogs. Allow to cook for a few more minutes to allow the BBQ sauce to caramelize. Place the Hot Dogs in Buns and Top with BBQ Sauce, Onion, Green Onion and Cheese. Serve and Enjoy! To watch me prepare this recipe step by step simple watch my video below.

One of my favorite cuts of Beef to Smoke is Tri Tip. It is very easy to find in California, but here in Wisconsin it is not readily available. So when my local Butcher happened to get some Tri Tips shipped to him by mistake, I knew I had to get a couple. This cook I combine Smoking and Sous Vide cooking to achieve excellent results. Ingredients: Tri Tip Seasoning of your choice Try to heat your Smoker to the lowest heat setting you can. On my Pellet Smoker I can use the Smoke setting that cooks at around 165-170 degrees. Remember that you are not trying to cook this yet, the only purpose to Smoke it is to add the Smoke flavor to the meat. Since we don't want to heat this Tri Tip over 125 degrees we need to lower the temperature to allow it to smoke for as long as possible. Add your Tri Tip and allow to smoke. Remove when it reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees. Allow to cool down enough so you can vacuum seal it. Sous vide cook it at 135 degrees for 2-6 hours. The longer it cooks the more tender it will get. When done remove from bag and dry off completely with paper towels. Make sure to do a good job, as you need the surface of the meat as dry as possible, as that is required to get a good sear. Sear the Tri Tip at high heat for 45 seconds to 1 minute on each side. You can do this in a cast iron pan, on a hot gas or charcoal grill, or even in your oven using the broil setting. The purpose here is to give the meat a nice dark bark or crust on the outside. Slice against the grain and enjoy! To watch me prepare this recipe step by step simply watch my video below.

I absolutely love Rotisserie Chicken. We all have picked up one from Costco or Sam's Club, and they are Awesome. But can I make one myself that is just as good? Watch my video to see what my family and I think. Ingredients: Whole Chicken Seasoning of your choice Olive Oil spray Start by tying the legs of your Chicken together with butcher twine, and lace around to secure the wings. Center your Chicken on the rotisserie rod. Tighten the screw and put on the grill to confirm it spins properly. Season your Chicken with the seasoning of your choice. Allow to rest while you heat up your grill to a temperature between 325-350 degrees. I would recommend placing a foil pan underneath the Chicken and filling it with some warm water, as it will catch any drippings from the Chicken. Place your Chicken on the grill and allow to cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. During the last few minutes spray the chicken with Olive Oil spray and crank your grill up to high. We want to try and crisp up the skin. Remove and cover with foil and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes. Carve and enjoy! To watch me make this recipe step by step simply watch my video below.

After trying some Smash Burger Tacos a while back I thought it would be fun to try them again, as they were absolutely delicious. This time I wanted to make them more like a Pizza, with Italian Sausage, Pepperoni and Pizza sauce. Adding some Garlic seasonings with fresh shredded Parmesan cheese took these to the next level. My whole family loved them. Let me show you how easy they are to make yourself. Ingredients: Ground Beef and/or Italian Sausage Onion, diced Green Pepper, diced Pepperoni Parmesan Cheese Mozzarella Cheese Garlic Parmesan seasoning Pizza sauce Flour Tortillas Butter Start by mixing some Ground Beef and Italian Sausage.

Season with some Garlic Parmesan seasoning and sprinkle some Parmesan Cheese on top. Heat your Griddle over medium low heat and start by sauteing the Onion and Pepper. Once softened move them over to a cool part of the Griddle. Next place your meat balls on the Griddle and place the Tortillas on top. Smash down using a piece of parchment paper to avoid sticking. Cook for a few minutes. Next throw the Pepperoni on the Griddle. Flip the Tortillas over and continue to cook. Add some of the Pepper Onion mixture on top of the meat, and add the Pepperoni on top. Sprinkle some Mozzarella on top and allow to melt. When done remove and top with some heated up Pizza sauce. Serve and enjoy!

I absolutely love smoked Pork Loin, but when I saw someone braid one I knew I had to try it. Not only does it look fancy, but it also tastes amazing! It is a super simple recipe that looks like it came from a professional chef. It will certainly impress your family and friends at your next get together. Let me show you how easy it is to make yourself. Ingredients: Pork Loin BBQ Rub or Seasoning of your choice BBQ Sauce or Glaze of your choice Toothpicks Start by removing any excess fat and silver skin, as it will not cook well and will be tough to eat. In order to make the braid, you need to separate the loin into 3 long pieces. Starting from one end, leave about 2-3 inches and slice down the pork loin making 3 equal sized strips. Season the Pork Loin pieces on all sides with your favorite seasoning or BBQ Rub. Next, braid the three pieces together. Once you reach the end of the braid, take a few toothpicks and stick them through the ends of the three pieces to keep it braided while it cooks. Allow to sit at room temperature while you preheat your smoker to 250 degrees. Once your smoker has come to temperature add some fruit wood, I used Cherry. Smoke the Pork Loin for 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135 degrees. At that time apply your favorite glaze or BBQ sauce. Continue cooking to allow the Glaze to caramelize. The pork is done and should be promptly removed from the heat when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice and enjoy!

Sometimes you need a very simple meal to cook, especially when you just moved into a new house and are exhausted and busy unpacking. Not only is this meal easy, it is a classic Wisconsin dish to make. Seems very appropriate for my first cooking video at our new house. Let me show you how to make some Beer Bratwursts on your gas grill. Ingredients: Bratwursts 2 Onions 2 cans of Beer 4 Butter slabs Start by placing some sliced Onions in a foil pan. Season with Seasoning Salt. Place a few slabs of Butter on top. Place on your gas grill over low heat, stirring occasionally. We want to melt the butter and allow the Onions to soften a bit, so give it some time. After 15-20 minutes move to the side and keep over low heat. Turn the other side to medium and allow to heat up. Sear the Bratwursts for a few minutes on each side. The purpose here is not to fully cook, but to all some color and sear marks. Once you are satisfied with the color of your Brats fill your pan with a couple of beers and place them on top. Allow to come to a simmer while stirring occasionally. We want the Onions to soften up a bit more in the simmering beer. This also ensures that the Brats will be fully cooked. When done place the Brats in buns and top with the Onions. Finish by topping with your favorite Mustard. Serve and enjoy! To watch my prepare this recipe simply watch my video below.
