Sometimes you want something quick and easy to eat while watching the game. You could order out, but then your stuck with the same old stuff. The Meatball Sandwich and Stuffed jalapeno Wrapped In bacon recipes, are easy becasue everything is already prepared for you and you don’t have to start from scratch.
Each recipe calls for food that’s already precooked, like the mini meatballs, or sauces that you just have to heat up.
When you think of thanksgiving turkey it’s usually cooked in the oven. Some even deep fry theirs, but we wanted to grill our turkey with this being a tailgating show and all. We stuffed the turkey with apples to give it a fruity tang and to add moisture.
After 3 hours, once the turkey was done, it was the most tender, moist turkey I’ve ever had. Grilling a turkey is something you have to do and something I will be doing every year from now on.
Salad? Spritzer? What? I know, I know, this isn’t the ideal tailgating food you’ve come to love watching Pigskin Gourmet. Trust us, it’s very good. Plus, it’s a man salad. Bacon, steak, goat cheese. Okay, maybe goat cheese isn’t really manly but it is an important part of what makes this salad worthy of the Pigskin Gourmet treatment.
As far as the Cucumber Lemonade Spritzer, if it doesn’t sound manly just drop the spritzer, add some Gin, maraschino cherry and call it a Cucumber Lemonade Collins.
Make a simple syrup by heating water and sugar in a saucepan until sugar has dissolved.
Blend cucumber slices in a blender or food processor into a pulp.
Pour the cucumber pulp into a fine mesh strainer place over a bowl to catch the liquid; allow to sit until you have about 2/3 cup of liquid from the cucumber, about 15 minutes.
Stir the simple syrup, cucumber liquid, and lemon juice together in a pitcher. Serve cold.
No one can claim to make the best Jambalaya with any certainty. That’s because there are so many different ways to make it and so many different degrees of ingredients that can go into Jambalaya, no one batch will taste the same as the next. we thought we’d give it a try and make our with the base of rice, chicken, sausage and shrimp.
To add an extra kick, we made a side of Spicy Corn Muffins with our new favorite ingredient which is Chipotle Peppers in Adobo sauce. These savory muffins will add some pop to any dish, and once you’ve made them, I’m sure you will add them to your cooking rotation because that are as good as they are easy.
