You're close. Use Kingford Matchlight instead of regular briquettes. Regular lighter fluid sometimes doesn't get the job done, so I use 2 stroke gas for my weedeater. Diesel works well too.

Got this one from a friend a couple months back, gonna try it on opening weekend.

[h=1]Armadillo Eggs[/h]


  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves (finely diced)
  • 6 jalapeños (cut in half, then each side cut in half)
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1/2 pound ground chorizo
  • Any sweet/spicy rub
  • 24 slices bacon
  • 1 cup creamy chipotle dressing (recipe below)

Creamy Chipotle Dressing

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1-2 small chipotles in adobo, seeds removed – adjust to taste based on desired level of spice you like
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1/2 Vidalia (sweet) onion
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste
Combine all the ingredients in the blender or mini-food processor. Mix until you have smooth creamy sauce. Taste and adjust the spice level based on your preference. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.

To start your Armadillo Eggs, get all of your ingredients together and get ready to become a sous chef.
Apply your rub about an hour before cooking the meat to mere moments before the meat hits the grill. As a general rule, you should try to apply a rub one hour before you cook.
Get your grill set up for low-and-slow cooking over indirect heat (approximately 250 degrees Fahrenheit), filling the water pan about halfway with warm to hot water.
Mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and garlic until well blended.
If you want to remove the stems from the jalapeños, you can, but you don’t have to. Just cut the peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and then cut the sliced jalapeños in half again.
Place a dollop of cream cheese filling in each jalapeño quarter. Take about one-third cup of the sausage and pat it into a three-inch oval and place the stuffed jalapeño in the center of the sausage. Wrap the sausage around the stuffed jalapeño until it’s completely covered, and form into the shape of an egg. Then, wrap those with a strip of bacon, seam down.
Sprinkle each egg with dry rub.
Place sausage-wrapped jalapeños on cool side of the grill. Cover and cook for 1–1½ hours, or until the sausage is cooked. The bacon will firm up nicely with the slow grilling method.
Serve with creamy chipotle dressing.

Make right before you leave or finish off once at tailgate on the grill for best results. You can thank me later and make more than one, cause one ain't gonna last long.

Spiderman's DEER HUNTERS PIE

1 lb ground VENISON( small amount of oil to brown with)
1 large onion diced
2 bell peppers diced
3-4 small carrots chopped into nickels
6-8 red potatoes mashed
1/2 cup english peas
1/2 cup whole kernel corn
Table spoon yellow mustard
Table spoon minced garlic
2 Table spoons Worcestershire sauce
teaspoon of chocolate balsamic from J. Olive (reg. balsamic will work)
chicken or beef broth
2 tablespoon of tomato paste
teaspoon Sriracha sauce
salt, and red pepper flakes to taste
cornstarch
Cheese

DIRECTIONS…

put meat and oil in deep pot or dutch oven and brown

When halfway brown, add mustard, Worcestershire, Sriracha, balsamic, garlic, and red pepper flakes

When browned, remove and set aside on a plate.
Add vegetables and garlic( except peas & corn) and sauté until they get a little color
Add tomato paste and enough chicken or beef broth to cook the veggies.

Add meat back to pot
Bring to a boil then simmer uncovered until carrots are soft and most of liquid has evaporated ( you want this moist but not soup, so cook down if too soupy, or add cornstarch to thicken, you should have to spoon it out, not pour it. ) then add peas and corn and simmer for 3-5 mins
taste, add salt if needed
cover small aluminum oven pan with meat and veggies
Cover mixture with mashed potatoes
cover with favorite cheese on top
Place in oven on 350 until cheese melts

Shrimp and Grit Fritters
Only recently discovered this so it'll be the first time done for football season.
Ingredients:
Grits
Bacon
Fresh shrimp
Milk
Extra sharp white cheddar
Egg
Panko crumbs
Salt to taste

Follow the directions on the grit package, I use stone ground grits but any will work. Use milk in stead of water. Bring the milk to a slow simmer and slowly add grits while whisking. Use about 2 ounces of white extra sharp cheddar cheese per serving. Cook 1-2 pieces of bacon per serving as well. Crumble the bacon and add it and the cheese once grits are done. Pour grits into baking dish and refrigerate for 4-24 hours. Cook shrimp, and depending on size, cut in half. Scoop grits with ice cream scoop, add piece or pieces of shrimp, and form into hush puppy size ball. Roll in egg wash and then panko crumbs. Fry balls. I keep mine on a rack at 200 while the rest cook.

Easy smoked Jalapeno poppers

Determine the number of people you have. I recommend at least 1 whole pepper per person, but a better amount is, say, 10 per person.
Ingredients:
X number of fresh Jalapenos (if you're using the pickled ones in the jar, give up already)
2X number of bacon strips (not-thick sliced and not presmoked)
Enough cream cheese to fill all the jalapenos you bought

Prep:

1. Slice the jalapenos in half from top to bottom. Remove the stem while you're at it.
2. Remove seeds from inside jalapeno. I recommend wearing gloves and using a spoon. To make the peppers milder (wuss), scrape off some of the inside surface.
3. Fill the inside of the pepper halves with cream cheese. The cheese should exactly fill up the half of the pepper. Don't go over too much and don't underfill.
4. Wrap each half with a slice of bacon. You should be able to completely cover each pepper half.

Cook:
Get your smoker up to 225 degrees (Fahrenheit, not Celsius you commie)
Put peppers in smoker.
Smoke until the bacon gets crunchy, but don't let it get burnt or dried out.

we cook these at every game but add a small chicken tender to the pepper, then wrap in bacon. we grill it, but smoking works also

i would also add, make sure you make enough. they don't last long.
