Passed this recipe along to the wife. We are gonna try it this week.
One tip is use more liquid than it calls for and slit or slice the pepperoncinis.

Made 7-layer Buffalo chicken dip yesterday. Really good but a couple notes
- It's a lot of food - like 4 lbs of ingredients
- It *willl not* heat through in 8 minutes. More like 20.
- The layer of melted pepper jack on top firms up pretty quickly as it cools, so unless you're serving right out of the oven, glllll cutting thru it with a tortilla chip

We kept it simple. Went to my parents' place, had chips, cheese & crackers, some salami, rolled-up proscuitto w/ mozzarella and then ordered a pizza.
I typically make queso, but didn't this time around. Usually go with a brick of Velveeta, 2 cans of Wolf chili (no beans, I mean come on), 2 cans of Ro-Tel, small brick of cream cheese. All that goodness in the crock pot for a few hours and man is that good.

I used a copycat recipe from Food Network to make Hattie B's Nashville Hot Fried Chicken. I love spicy food and braved the level 4 (their highest level) on my last visit to music city. It pained me for a good 12 hours but was oh so worth it. Last night, I fried three chickens and made three levels of hot oil to brush on - a mild with a tad of cayenne, a hot with a good helping of cayenne, and a damn hot with several TB of powdered ghost pepper.
Two of my son's friends challenged each other to eat a chicken quarter doused in the spiciest oil in less than 3 minutes. Both texted him later today that school had been miserable, with one saying it was the first time in 3 years of high school that he's taken crap on campus - and today it happened on several occasions. I should be ashamed that I'm proud of my efforts.

nice!!
I love Hattie B's and Prince's too. I loooovve hot, spicy stuff - but find that I like the multi-level kinds of heat (more of an Asian approach) more than the front end punch of Nashville chicken ...I think it would be cool if they gave that a shot as well.
but no doubt, it's a fun, and great tasting experience - I just don't go quite the hot you do.

Years ago our church’s youth group had a Super Bowl party with a hot wing eating contest at halftime. All of the guys pretty much decided not to do it but a bunch of the 8th/9th grade girls decided to partake. They made fun of the boys for being wimps even after seeing the bottle of hot sauce being used. They all professed to loving spicy food. When they started, it became quickly apparent their idea of spicy food was probably nacho cheese Doritos. There was crying, there was puking, there was a broken faucet from girls desperately trying to rinse their mouths out (despite being told it wouldn’t help), a gallon of milk downed in nothing flat, and eventually parents called and kids left early because they were so miserable. And thus ended the first, and last, Super Bowl hot wing eating contest for the group.

One day, in a more appropriate thread, I'll relate how suicide wings led to me getting caught short and emptying my insides on a cold dark morning while in the bed of my pickup off of Ferry Ave in Camden NJ.

Wife made this tonight. This was honestly the best pot roast we have ever had. The whole family LOVED it.
Thanks again for the recipe. This will go in the regular rotation.

Oooh this year we are doing:
6 racks of ribs
Cured and smoked pork belly
Smoked salmon dip
Jalapeño poppers with andouille sausage and cheddar filling
Baked beans
Pasta salad
And my wife is making some kind of chocolate cupcake for Philly (she themes them every year based off the teams - this year because of Hershey, Pa) and a lemon ice box cupcake for KC
Super Bowl is a holiday in our house. We will have around 30 people.

I'm sure you do this already but if you don't - put the baked beans under the ribs while they are on the smoker. Thank me later.

Going Italian for this years SB party.
Wife is making her world famous:
Baked Ziti
Homemade Veal meatball subs and baked in the oven so the hoagie is toasted and cheese is melted. My wife cooks them all day in a crock pot and she makes her own homemade sauce as well
Homemade buffalo chicken dip served with veggies, ruffles and Tostito’s scoops.
Various deserts and coffee to finish it off.

I'll get crucified for this because it doesn't have cheeze whiz and I like to use peppers, but....
Assuming you're making 6-8 cheese steaks:
- 6-8 GOOD Hoagie Rolls (cannot emphasize enough how crucial the bread is, IMO)
- 8 slices smoked provolone
- 2-3 Lbs petite sirlion
- 1 yellow sweet onion sliced thinly
- 1/2 Poblano or Anaheim Pepper sliced thinly
- 1/2 Green Bell Pepper sliced thinly
- 1/2 Red Pepper sliced thinly
- 1 TBS Worcestershire sauce
- 2-3 TBS Olive Oil
- Pinch of seasoning salt (I use Tony's, but Lowry's, Old Bay, etc fine)
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pinch of garlic pepper or garlic powder
- Pinch of Cumin/Oregano/Smoked Paprika
- 4 TBS softened butter
**PUT YOUR STEAK IN THE FREEZER FOR 30 MINUTES WHILE YOU SLICE YOUR VEGGIES**
* Preheat oven to 400
- Get your cast iron, if you don't have one, go buy one. Put it over Medium to Medium Low heat and pour in the oil
- Sauté your onions and peppers stirring occasionally until they soften.
- Season with veggie with a pinch of cumin/smoked paprika/oregano
- While the veggies sauté, take your meat out of the freezer and chop thinly. Chop again. Chop until you can't chop no more.
- Remove the veggies with a slotted spoon, turn the heat up to Medium High, add a little more oil if needed and throw in 1/2 your steak
- Throw in some seasoning salt, black pepper, garlic pepper or powder and some Worcestershire. Cook steak about 4-5 minutes stirring around in the spices until pinkness fades.
- Remove with slotted spoon and add to the dish with veggies and do the same with the other 1/2 of the steak.
- Meanwhile, slit your rolls open but not all the way - leave a little 'hinge' in the rolls. Butter both sides with softened butter and put in the oven for 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the rest of the steak with the slotted spoon, add to the rest of the steak/peppers, drain off the oil, put the pan back on Medium heat and add in all the peppers/onions/steak.
- Separate the steak/peppers/onions into little quadrants (you can do this in batches) and place a slice of provolone over each quadrant.
- Once the cheese starts to melt, mix into the peppers and steak lightly and then scoop a quadrant into one of your toasted buns.
I don't know why I typed all that out. It beats looking at the stock market. Just follow this and use your own tweaks at will: https://www.fromvalerieskitchen.com/philly-cheesesteak-recipe-peppers-onions/

I took it he meant the cubed form - more creative than just bacon (still delicious)
Capella

Yes I will cube it after I smoke it and then toss it on the flat top.

Buddy egged me on to try my hand and loaded potato skins two weeks ago. I was hesitant - seemed like a lot of prep work for something I've never really craved. Can maybe count on one hand the number of times I've either ordered them or been with a table that ordered them.
But I'll damned if they didn't turn out marvelous and I'll be doing these again on Sunday. Will set up a little station to build your own before throwing them back in the oven for a final cook.

Nice, do you have any suggestions on how to get the skin as crispy as possible? Last one we did, added more charcoal and raised the temp in the box for the last 30 minutes or so. Still didn't get as crispy as we would like.

Certain parts were really crisp while others weren't, not sure how to get it more consistent. Skin side up for the last 30min maybe might dry it out a bit, but then I think you'll lose some of the juices.

Three months ago my wife, the chef in our house, scheduled her routine colonoscopy for Monday 2/13/23. She wondered why it was so easy to get that appointment on fairly short notice. I informed her it was the day after the Super Bowl. So we will be having very different menus:
She will be having a plain chicken broth bisque and 3 very large electrolyte cocktails with multiple ginger ale side cars. For dessert, lemon popsicles.
I will be picking up a Papa Murphy's thin crust, making myself some nachos, a veggie tray and likely a couple gins and/or beers.

Shiiiiit.... I foresee zero complaints about that Pork Belly you've got going on.
Looking forward to pics of the finished product!
