Hi tried to find the master thread but couldn’t find it. Do we want to bump it or have a special one off? I need inspiration.
How do you do up the homemade bacon?Only 6 of us sitting out on our deck but I have a huge party every year and since the Bucs are in it I can’t let up now.
3 racks of ribs
smoked chicken
homemade bacon
baked beans on the smoker
potato salad
picked red onions
and my wife makes two cupcakes every year to represent the cities playing but F Kansas City — for the beloved Bucs, Guava and cheese cupcake and then a tres leches with a coffee buttercream cupcake.
Probably will be enough food for 15 people (I’d usually make 6 racks) so people are taking home leftovers.
Got a big pork belly with my rub on it in the fridge right now — before I put it on the smoker I’ll hit it with a little honey and some more brown sugar, then I smoke it on Saturday for about 2.5 hours at 275. Let it cool and then put it in the fridge overnight. Then I slice it and pan fry it in the cast iron the next day. It’s super easy and you wouldn’t believe how good it is.How do you do up the homemade bacon?

Why don’t you make your own pizza? Like an FBG? Put gold coins on it.
Just kind of sad not getting together with anyone. Kids won’t even watch it. Good frozen pizza though!
Don't forget the Italian ice and the Irish coffee.going to do 2 racks with a maple rub, the other 2 will also have a chipotle bbq glaze
german potato salad
mexican corn with tequila lime rub
caribbean bbq baked beans
First, you grind up the glass shards from a stripper's stiletto...Think I’m going to do Emeril’s jalapeño poppers for an appy. I’m sure some wings. Then I want to get something representing each team. Maybe burnt ends for KC? What the heck do I make for Tampa Bay?

Thanks - we have leftover chili as well so this is now what I’ll be making as well. Thanks for the idea.A big platter of chili-cheese fries. I was contemplating all kinds of different things and I had mentioned to Mrs. Swanson that I wanted to try Alton Brown's baked potato fries but I just wasn't settled on what to make with them. Nothing was clicking. Then we sat down to dinner of some killer chili I made yesterday and we realized we've got waaaaaay too much of it for the two of us. So she suggested a big pile of chili cheese fries with some of the smoked cheddar we made a couple weeks ago. Sold! Will be just the two of us so it's perfect.

Judge Smails would like a word with you. Shots fired!I do. It's super simple. No secret ingredients here.
5 #’s chuck roast or short ribs, cubed into ⅜” cubes
20 dried red chiles (Mesilla Valley/Hatch Preferred, Guajillo OK substitute, final heat dependent on peppers)
1 large sweet onion, diced
6 garlic cloves, ½ for pepper sauce, ½ minced for saute
Mexican Oregano
1 28 oz can Cento whole roma tomatoes
1 14 oz can Mutti cherry tomatoes
1 quart beef stock (home made preferred)
Salt
Thyme
Cheddar Cheese
Green Onions
Sour cream
Cube 2#’s (or more up to 5#’s if eliminating beans) of chuck roast into ⅜” cubes. Seal in vacuum bag and sous vide at 135 for 24 hours.
Rehydrate chiles in water on stove. Remove stems and seeds, bring to boil, simmer 20 minutes. Add chiles to blender along with a cup or so of the boiling water and a few garlic cloves and some mexican oregano. Blend until silky smooth in a good blender like Vitamix.
Remove beef from sous vide and sear in 8 qt dutch oven in a little oil just until browned. No need to cook. Remove when done. Reserve beef juice from sous vide bag.
Saute onions until just tender in dutch oven. Add garlic when near end.
Deglaze dutch oven with beef juice from sous vide bag and get all the fond mixed in.
Add can of whole roma tomatoes and can of cherry tomatoes. Crush up the whole tomatoes into chunks but leave the cherry tomatoes whole.
Add beef.
Add blended peppers.
Add 1 quart beef stock.
Add cumin, mexican oregano, thyme, salt.
Simmer an hour or two to thicken as needed.
If not hot enough, heat can be increased with pure fresh ground hot peppers, NOT store bought "chili" powder. If it's already too hot then put on a brave face and power through.
For a more "authentic" chili experience, eliminate the tomatoes and double the chili sauce. I like the brightness to the tomatoes bring and I like the texture the cherry tomatoes add. Some break up, other stay pretty much whole.
Serve with masa corn bread, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions.
No shot intended. They are two very different recipes.Judge Smails would like a word with you. Shots fired!
That is ridiculous. And awesome. Ridiculously awesome.

Vato Queso was my mashup cover bad of Los Skarnales and The String Cheese Incident.I dunno. I usually make a vat of queso but I am not going to a party of any significance this year. Probably just going to my parents and will order a pizza. Maybe cheese/crackers as an appetizer. I'll drink 3-4 beers tops.
If my dad, who's in chemo, isn't feeling up to it, I'll just watch at home and will eat whatever I have in the house.
Zuppa ToscanaWe are having a SOUPer Bowl party. I can't cook at all. I looked at @Ron Swanson 's chili recipe and thought "that doesn't look super simple at all". It does sound delicious. Anyone have a souper simple soup I can do? I really don't even care if it is a canned soup that I can add other stuff in.
At halftime the entire nation will be flushing away.The toilets in all your houses will be working overtime Sunday night and Monday
I have a chicken taco soup that is really just shredding some chicken and opening 5 or 6 cans.We are having a SOUPer Bowl party. I can't cook at all.
