Hamburger Steaks
by:
These hamburgers are delicious when grilled. They are meaty, moist, and amazing. We like to mix these up for the family to enjoy, or when we have guests coming over.

Ribs
by:
Ribs are a staple for BBQing and smoking. I worked on my ribs for some time, trying different methods, before finally getting them the way I like. Lots of BBQ purists indicate that your ribs shouldn’t just pull apart, but rather, still be pretty firm, but pull freely when you eat them. I prefer them…

Just about any butter paste promises to add lots of flavor to your meat, but add bacon and it’s just that much better. This thick paste rubs on to turkey or chicken to add lots of flavor and moisture.

Four Score Beef Rub
by:
For quite some time this was just referred to as “Beef Rub”. I needed an official name and finally “Four Score” was added as a result of most of the ingredients start with 4. This is amazing on brisket and I frequently use it on London broil as well when we’re making beef tacos.

The onions, garlic and…

Thanksgiving Day Gravy
by:
Thanksgiving dinner just isn’t complete without a delicious gravy to smother your mashed potatoes, dressing, and turkey. I’ve used this homemade gravy for years and it never disappoints. That said, making this gravy is an all day event, so start early!

Steak Marinade
by:
I originally put this marinade together to have a base seasoning for making beef jerky. It was amazing and is the perfect marinade for steaks as well. Marinate your beef in this mixture and then throw it on the smoker, grill, or in the pan for great results every time.
