Has anyone given any thought as to what they will fix for our first football game of the 2007 season? I am leaning towards baby back ribs which need little attention while cooking, pasta salad probably made the night before, baked beans probably made the night before and reheated before serving and a few cold snacks. Chips and dip, cheese and crackers with some fruit, maybe some fresh baked cookies or fried hand pies. Does anyone have any suggestions? Let's get a thread started for those of us who will be staying home and not fortunate enough to go to the game. Some tailgating ideas for those going would be appreciated too.

Smoking a nice pork shoulder - Boston Butt - starting late Friday night/Sat am . Haven't made up my mind what'll come with it yet but , I know I'll have some Conecuh sausage out there at some point to serve with some sliced NY sharp cheddar and a little maple-mustard for dipping .

Also , I like to make bacon jerky . :eek2: I know it sounds a little strange but , it really does work . I season it with a mix sugar & black pepper .

Where ever there's BBQ, Bourbon & Football
We are doing one of two menus that will be voted on the week before the game.

Menu 1

  • Smoked Spare Ribs
  • Tater Salad
  • Baked Beans
  • Pulled Pork Sandwiches
  • Keylime Pie

Menu 2

  • Chicken Wings Bought From Sam's
  • Rotel Dip w/Chips
  • Home Made Enchiladas
  • Strawberry Cheese Cake

Hopefully the vote will be for Menu 1 but with the crowd that's coming over I'm not sure.

I just lay it off to the side in the smoker once the heat gets low . Go to sleep , wake up 8 hours later and it's done . Too simple not to try . :smile:

I've made beef jerky 3-4 times but , I always get it too brittle . Never quite figured out the right sized slices .

Isn't there some kind of unwritten law that there has to be some kind of charred animal flesh on the menu? Exempting the Left Coast of course. :biggrin:

I think I'll take the "easy road" & make these cheeseburger pies (Paula Deen recipe) -- although I think I'll make mini-versions instead of a regular size patty. Maybe have a pasta salad, BBQ beans, and of course, something sweet!

It looks like I'll be in Phenix City, so it probably be 3lbs of Chicken Comers pulled pork BBQ, half a loaf of Bunny Bread, 2 pitchers of sweet tea and peanut butter pie for dessert.
Or my folks famous Washed-down Chili for either by itself, Hot Dogs or Scrambled Dawgs with oyster crackers.

Oh great, I was just planning on ordering pizza and getting buzzed on sodas, but now you guys are all making me think I need to do something more.

How about:
a nice slow cooked bbq pork loin roast
cajun seasoned baked potato wedges
macaroni salad
sweetened ice tea
and a pecan pie for desert?

:tongue:

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I tend to lurk more on here than actually chime in! My sauce is really nothing special, just results from experimentation. If you don't like it, I don't blame you!

Quick Home Made White Sauce
1 cup regular or light mayo ( But don't use fat free, or your sauce will be taste-free!)
1 Tbsp. white or cider vinegar
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp (or more,to taste) ground cayenne pepper
1 tsp (or so) sugar (to taste)
Makes 1 cup+

If you desire a little more "bite" in your sauce, add a little worcestershire sauce (a squirt or so) I use it to replace the horseradish that's in commercial white sauce. I can do without horseradish the rest of my life! ;)

Hamburger Soup with Homemade Corn-Yankee Style-bread!

Dessert is ice cream. I'll be listening to Eli & Kenny from the top and can't schedule too much stuff that needs attention-I'll miss something!:D
