Whether or not you're a College Football or NFL fan or both, I am sure most of us cook up some tasty vittles on game day. It's opening day for my Falcons this Sunday and Steph and I are having over a few friends to watch the game in the man cave. I normally do a REAL big cook and normally invite many more people than I am this weekend. In the past I would cook ABTs. Moinks, a big Boston butt, a whole packer brisket, mac & cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, red potato salad, Brunswick stew (a Southern thing, lol) and I would bake up about 35 chocolate chunk and 35 white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. I would wear myself out doing all of this and would be too tired to even eat. I'd watch the game and after everyone had their fill, I'd make a small plate.
This year, I am scaling back. For Sunday's game I am only having 7 or so people over other than Steph and I and our son. So......I am not cooking for an army this round, lol. We decided on a finger food menu, no BBQ this round. I am setting up a "Build Your Own Nacho" bar. I have a little 3-pot crock pot that will have chipotle chicken, smoked brisket and the last one will have homemade queso (cheese dip). There will also be seasoned black beans in another crock pot. I have a 6 compartment cold condiment server that will contain homemade salsa, black olives, pico, jalapenos, fresh shredded cheddar and monterey jack. On the side will be squeezable sour cream and a red taco sauce.
On top of that we're going to make ABTs, smoked wings and some Moinks. The plan is to put as much of those as I can into a Roaster Oven to keep warm. I am going to have probably 2 Kegs going along with the Traeger. The brisket is left over from when I did the SI vs KBQ comparison cook. Everything else will be made fresh. I'll try to snap some pictures before the vultures feed, lol!
So what are y'all cookinig?
