Up today is probably the best chili relleno casserole recipe that can be made outside on the grill or inside in your oven.

If you’re craving a chili relleno then you have got to check this recipe out.

This chili relleno casserole is real easy to make. The neighbors will be climbing the fence once they see what you’re cooking up.

So grab a cold adult beverage and let’s get started.

We picked up a UMAi charcuterie kit to try our hand at making some homemade DIY cured meats.

We’re old hands at homemade pork belly bacon and we have a good amount stored away in the freezer.
With the prices of meat seemingly doubling every few weeks, it pays to buy low, make now, and save for later.

So why not try our hand in making other cured meats. We’re have read about the UMAi dry aging bags and wanted to give them a try. Our first project will be pancetta.

Up today is our cornbread with bacon grease recipe made outside on the grill.

Making cornbread on the grill is really easy to do. But you don’t need to make this outside on the grill. You could also easily make this using your oven.

Optionally, a bit of wood smoke would take this way over the top.

So if you have never tried cornbread made with bacon fat then you’re definitely missing out.

So let’s quit messing around and get started.

Today we are doing a review on our latest Lodge 5 quart cast iron Dutch oven with a bail handle.

We picked up a second one. So, we had loaned ours out a while back and never got it back. Not yet anyway. But we missed ours and wanted it back and that wasn’t happening anytime soon.

So we found a replacement Lodge cast iron Dutch oven on Amazon with free Prime shipping.

Bottom line, you need one and we’ll tell you why.

Today we’re reviewing our Lodge CRS10 carbon steel skillet we picked up a few weeks back.

We’re big fans of cast iron cookware and wanted to try out this lodge carbon steel skillet and see how it performs, both indoors and outside, on the grill and fire pit.

So yes, there are other carbon steel skillets. Still, this Lodge skillet has the most customer ratings of all other Amazon offerings.

So we gave the Lodge 10-inch carbon steel skillet a good workout. Here is what we found …

Okay – what to do with that Kamado Joe JoeTisserie leftover Pork Roast from the yesterday cook?

Midge is out of town and I have a fridge full of take-out leftovers. I need to do something today before breaking out the vacuum sealer tomorrow.

It is no secret that a smoky grilled pizza is one of my favorite things to make on my Kamado Joe. Wait! Cold smoky grilled pizza is also right up there on my “favorites” list.

This is my current grilled pizza dough recipe! I am always tweaking things to see if I can get better results.

This recipe makes one 12 inch crust for your grilled pizza. Enough for one plus leftovers for the next day. Don’t forget the cold refreshing beverages!

Making beef jerky is easy! All you need is your food dehydrator. Check out my food dehydrator page for all things dehydrators.

Who doesn’t like beef jerky? You probably wouldn’t be looking at this if you didn’t!

Homemade beef jerky is my go-to snack when I am enjoying the outdoors.

Beef jerky bits are also the BFF’s favorite as well! Actually, just about everything is their favorite?

Your own homemade beef jerky won’t have all of those questionable “extra” ingredients such as flavorings, extracts, and modified this or that.
