A day of experimentation
« Reply #-1 on: December 18, 2016, 07:57:16 PM »
Today I wanted to try some new things. I had some leftovers from yesterday's KBQ cook that I had intended to use for making a new Brunswick Stew recipe and my wife wanted to make brisket nachos. I also wanted to make a creation that I have had floating around my head for years but had just never gotten around to it. So...let's get to it!

Let's start with my Frankenstein Monster shall we? I made a burrito with slices of brisket and some pulled pork. I placed the meat on a bed of smoked baked beans, not too many though. I then applied a little Head Country BBQ sauce on top.


Next I added some of my homemade slaw and a couple of dill pickle slices and the finishing touch was some hand cut fries seasoned with Lawry's!


Rolled it all up


Cut it in half


Took a bite! It was AWESOME!!! Muhahahahaha!!!


My son ate half, I had to save room for my nachos after all! My wife busted a move and made her smoked salsa on the Traeger. It goes very well with brisket or pulled pork nachos. I actually think it would make a flip flop taste good! I took a little more brisket and pork, put it on some chips with diced jalapenos, black olives, cheese dip, shredded cheese, her salsa and a dollop of sour cream. I hurt myself eating this, lol!


Lastly, the stew. I cooked it but was too full to eat a bowl. I tasted it, it's a departure from MY recipe but it was good. My wife thinks she may even like it better than mine (the traitor!!!). I like it but haven't officially made up my mind on whether or not it is better than my recipe I've made for years.



I had planned on baking off some cookies, made 6 batches of dough yesterday. I ran out of gas plus was watching my Falcons destroy the Niners. Felt good to sit down and chill for a bit.

At any rate, that concludes this episode of RG's Test Kitchen! Tune in next time when I cook a Salsa covered Flip Flop!

Ok, so here's my thought on Southern Soul's Brunswick Stew recipe. I like it! It's a departure from my usual stuff that I make but I do like it and will make it again. I made up 7 or so (maybe 6, maybe 8) 18oz bags of it today, should be enough for 2 big servings per bag or 3 side servings if eating other stuff. Got'em foodsavered and in the freezer. I am going to give some away to friends and family but will be sure to keep at least 2-3 bags in the freezer!

If you like Brunswick Stew, give that recipe a shot, it's a keeper! Requires a lot of meat so be forewarned!
