Last Peppers from the Garden-Buffalo Chicken ABT's

Well the last batch of peppers from the garden. I think I am going to try this recipe for the jalapenos.


Buffalo Chicken Stuffed ABT's

1 5 oz can chicken, drained
1-2 Tbs Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce, to taste or make your own with butter and hot sauce.
½ cup crumbled Bleu cheese
½ cup softened cream cheese
16 large jalapeno peppers, stem end cut off and cored
8 strips of bacon, cut in half

Preheat the oven to 295
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix.
Put the ingredients in a pastry bag (Easiest way to stuff the peppers)
Fill each pepper to the top.
Drape the bacon over the top and secure both sides with a toothpick.
I have a pepper rack that holds 50, so I use that.
Cook until the peppers are wilted and the bacon is crisp.

Beer Battered Onion Rings

I was craving some of those bar style beer battered onion rings. I decided to go off a recipe from a cooking website. I had to make some adjustments....not enough beer, not enough seasoning...

Ingredients:

3 Cups of Flour, Separated to 2 Cups and 1 Cup
2 Eggs, Whites and Yokes Separated
1 Beer
4 TBSP Butter, Melted
Cajun Seasoning to Taste
3 Large Onions, Sliced

Heat the Deep Fryer to 375 Degrees.
Sift the 2 cups of flour into a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks.
Mix the beer, butter, and seasoning, with the egg yolks.
Slowly Stir the mixture into the flour and mix well. If too thick, you can add milk to get the desired consistency.
Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes or longer.
In a small bowl, stiffly beat the egg whites and gently combine with the batters.
Coat each onion with flour and dip into batter.
Deep fry until gold brown.

Enjoy.

Creamy Coleslaw Recipe

This is a good recipe for coleslaw. It was from the Big Time BBQ Cookbook with an easier step. It calls for shredding a head of cabbage, onion, and 1 carrot. I skip this part, forget the onion and use the Dole's Classic Coleslaw Mix. Go with one or two bags, depends on how creamy you want it.

Here is the liquid recipe...

3/4 Cup Mayo
1/4 Cup Milk
2 TBSP White Wine Vinegar
1 TBSP Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
1/4 Cup Sugar
1/2 TSP Dry Mustard
1/2 Cup Half and Half
1/2 TSP Salt
1/2 TSP Black Pepper

Combine all ingredients, pour over coleslaw and refrigerate.

This is a great all purpose rub I use quite often. Excellent on brisket. The recipe is from the book "Smoke and Spice". This is the book I used years ago to become familiar with smoking meats. The Best BBQ cookbook out there.

1/4 Cup Ground Black Pepper
1/4 Cup Sugar
1/4 Cup Salt
2 TBSP Chili Powder
2 TBSP Garlic Powder
2 TBSP Onion Powder
2 TSP Cayenne

Creamy White Chicken Chili

I found this recipe in a magazine and decided to give it a try. I have to say, this recipe is a keeper.

1 TSP Garlic Salt
1/4 TSP Cayenne Pepper
1/4 TSP Ground Black Pepper
1 8-Ounce Carton Sour Cream
1/4 Cup Whipping Cream
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Green Onions

In a Dutch Oven heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, sweet onion, and garlic; cook and stir about 7 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in beans, chicken broth, green chile peppers, garlic powder, cumin, garlic salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.

Bring to a gentle boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered for an hour, stirring occasionally. After an hour, mash the beans slightly with a potato masher.

Stir in sour cream and whipping cream and heat on low for 30 minutes.

Serve and top with cheddar cheese and green onions. Enjoy
