What a Sunday!

[Jarhead]

I'll start off by saying, "I can't find my cord for my camera", so don't get your panties in a wad. They will come later. Just wanted to get this up before it's too late.

I had a bunch of teenagers with about 12 adults. Total of 25-30, I guess, didn't have time to count or take pics. I know didn't happen.

Four of the guys were hanging around on the outside deck like vultures waiting on something to die.

Of course they brought me my beer when I needed one and me being the nice guy that I am, I would give them a sample.

All went good until it was time to pan it up. The Jalapeno Cheese Sausages came off first. I was letting them rest. Went back to slice them up for bite size portions and there were only 3 left.

Made 1 case (36 pcs) of Farmland KC Wild Wings, aka Hawg Wings, 6 Beer Can Chix, quartered for white and dark meat portions, 1 full size pan of my Bourbon BBQ Beans, 1 full size pan of my version of Alien's Mac and Cheese, 1 full size pan of Red 'Tater Salad, 1 full size pan of my Cole Slaw and 1 rack of Dino Bones (those were supposed to be mine)!

No veggies here. All of the meat was gone and very little of anything else was left.

Some poor soul brought their WalMart grill and cooked about 10# of burgers and 10 packs of dogs. There wasn't even a dent made in them. I almost felt sorry for that person. It's kinda like taking a knife to the gunfight at the O.K Corral.

For a just for fun weekend, it turned out to be very profitable. Booked a 500+ auction on a cattle ranch in October. All 3 meals. Of course, beef is the main entre'. 6 a.m. To 8 p.m. Or ? because of a live band to follow.

I FOUND MY THINGIE.

First 4 chix



Next two



Bourbon Beans and Mac & Cheese



Supposed to have been for the cook



Leftovers with the Hawg Wings. Can ya smell 'em now?



I hid what I could get my hands on in the soda pop cooler. I knew they would be safe there.

Nope, didn't happen. No pics no Q.

Call them all back Gunny. One of them has to have pics on his cell phone. Probably already posting them on some rival website and calling it his own....

Bourbon beans? Gimmie!

Jarhead's Bourbon BBQ Baked Beans

12 strips of thick cut bacon
4 med. Onions, coarsely chopped
1 Pablano Pepper, coarsely chopped
1 Green Bell Pepper, coarsely chopped
2 Jalapeno Peppers, coarsely chopped (adjust to taste)
1 #10 can of Bush's Bean Pot Beans, lightly drained
1-1/2 C Sweet Baby Ray BBQ Sauce, Original, thinned with Apple Juice
1/2 C Bourbon (I use Kessler's)
8 Tbs Molasses or 6 Tbs Molasses Powder
4 tsp Dry Mustard
2 tsp Ancho Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
2 Bay Leaves

Options:
2 tart apples, cubed (add with the whiskey), (Granny Smith or Jonathan)
1/4 C Extra Strong Coffee, Black (This I will try next time)

Directions:
1. Cook bacon over medium heat. When it begins to brown, flip it, brown the other side. Remove it before it renders all of it's fat and gets hard. We want to cut it, not crumble it.
2. Pour off bacon fat in a coffee cup. Reserve.
3. Heat 2 Tbs Bacon Fat, add the Onions and Peppers. Cook until they wilt.
4. Then add everything else into a full size pan.
5. Smoke for about 3 hours at 225°. Try to cook under a brisket for added flavor. Never cook under poultry.
6. Remove the Bay Leaves before serving.

If it is in BOLD, then that is what I use, if there is a choice.

Notes: Taste and adjust. More molasses for sweeter, more salt, cook longer if you want it thicker or add Apple Juice if you want it thinner.

Makes 1 gallon of Beans. about 1/2 of a full size pan. Get more smoke that way.
Serves about 25

This is my adapted version from Amazing Ribs.....

Looking Good brother man.
The Mac and Cheese looked really good as well as the rest of the chow.
Nice job and good thinking on the soda cooler.
Of course nobody would be looking in there.

Good stuff too, kinda pricey to make, but damn good.

I found it. Was on the Flash Drive.

Jarhead's Mac and Cheese

4 pounds of shells (Great Value), cooked per directions
4 eggs, beaten
1 pt of Half and Half
1/2 pound of butter (2 sticks)
16 oz of sour cream
2 packs of green onions (chopped) (I forgot the stupid onions on this one)
32 oz shredded cheddar cheese
1 lb of pepper jack cheese
2 lb of Velveeta cheese
2 Tbsp Big Ron's Hint Of Houston

Melt it all in your smoker for about an hour, add mac shells and beaten eggs, stir, and put back in the smoker at 250°, for an hour or more. (about 2 for me)

Makes a Full size pan. Approx 50 servings (yeah, right !!!!) More like 30 with those vultures around.

Adapted from Alien's Mac & Cheese (Thanks Alien)

Thanks Dodge, I moved my groceries into the wood box of the Fat 50 to start, until I had a plate full. Missed out on the chicken though. That is when I noticed there was nobody gettin' in my soda pop cooler. Nice hidin' place.
The auction is gonna make me nervous. That is a $hit load of people and I gotta feed 'em 3 meals.
Need a bigger cooker, and I just bought this one off of Chad. And some helpers.
