Here’s hearty and savory blend of beef and vegetables that’s sure to warm you up on a chilly day. If you haven’t used a Dutch oven in the past you’re in for a treat. Leave uncovered for the first 30 minutes to infuse a mild, smoky flavor to the stew. Serve with fresh warm bread and butter.

Add all the ingredients (except the corn starch). Salt and pepper to taste. Fold with a large spoon to mix the ingredients. Place the Dutch oven uncovered in the grill and allow to cook for 30 minutes (to add smoky flavor). Cover and allow to simmer for 3­4 hours. Mix the corn starch with 1/2 cup of water and whisk until thoroughly blended. Add to Dutch oven and fold ingredients. Allow stew to simmer for another 30 minutes. Serve immediately with warm bread and butter.

Sweet potatoes have gained popularity as the new french fry. These smoky sweet potato wedges are the perfect complement to any burger or steak dish.

Directions

Place the yams in a pot of cold water; add 1 tbsp. of salt. Cook until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. You can also microwave the yams whole, until just tender. Let cool slightly, and then cut each yam into four or six 1/2­in. thick wedges (depending on the size of the yam). Combine the butter, maple syrup, Dijon mustard and rosemary in a small sauce-pot. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from the heat. Heat your Twin Eagles Grill to high heat. Brush the yam wedges with the butter mixture and season with salt and pepper. Grill the wedges until lightly golden brown, turning often, about 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and drizzle with remaining butter mixture.  Serve hot.

Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Fire Roasted Cherry Cheesecake is another cheesecake to add to our growing collection of cheesecake recipes.  This cheesecake is completely gluten free, and totally awesome! Try it yourself.

Directions

Preheat your grill to 375°F, preparing for indirect grilling. Line a sheet pan with foil and spread the cherries on it, drizzle with coconut oil and sprinkle with sugar. Grill over indirect heat while the grill is preheating, (and while you make the crust and cheesecake,) between 15 and 25 minutes. Once they’re split, juicing and bubbly, remove the cherries from grill and transfer them to a saucepan. Set aside. Bring the cream cheese to room temperature while you make the crust. Using a stand mixer, or by hand, cream together the butter and sugar for the crust. Add the flour and cocoa powder, using a pastry cutter or two butter knives to cut the sugar mixture in to the flour and cocoa powder until you have a crumbly mixture that will stay together when pressed. Cut the cream cheese into squares. Blend them with the sugar, flour, and vanilla, using a hand or stand mixer. Add the eggs and yogurt, beating on low, until smooth. Warm the cream until steaming. Pour the cream over the chocolate chunks, stirring until melted. If the chocolate doesn’t all melt, use the microwave in short 15­ second bursts until everything is melted.

2/2 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain, vanilla or cherry 1 cup sugar 2 tbsp. gluten free all purpose flour 1 tsp. vanilla 2 eggs 1 cup solid dark chocolate, broken into small chunks 1/4 cup of cream Pour the filling into the crust lined pan. Swirl in about half of the dark chocolate. Bake at 350°F for approximately 45 minutes. You can test the doneness of your cheesecake by carefully jiggling it. If the center‐inch still moves like jello, you’re ready to pull it out. Cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then remove the sides of the pan and cool another 15 minutes. You can serve still warm, or chill for at least an hour. Do not put it in the freezer. While waiting for the cheesecake to cool, add the water, sugar, and cinnamon to the cherries. Bring them to a simmer. Allow to cool, or keep warm. When you’re ready to serve, top the whole cheesecake with the fire roasted cherry mix

Recipe of the Month: Green Chili Cheeseburger

September 21, 2016 Outdoor Cooking

September 29th is National Good Neighbor Day, so breakout your culinary skills, get to grillin’, and invite them over for a patio party.  We brought the heat by kicking up the spice on traditional burger recipe for this edition of our Recipe of the Month.

Green Chili Cheeseburger

Recipe of the Month by Texas Custom Patios

Ingredients

2 lb. ground chuck
1 tbsp. , plus 1½ tsp. chile powder
1 12 tsp. ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground blackpepper, to taste
13 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp. ketchup
4 cloves roasted garlic, mashed to a paste
2 tbsp. canola oil
6 roasted green chiles, peeled, stemmed, seeded, and roughly chopped
4 slices cheddar cheese
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 brioche buns, split and toasted

Instructions

In a bowl, combine chuck, 1 tbsp. chile powder, cumin, and salt and pepper; form into four 8-oz. patties and chill. Whisk remaining chile powder, mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic, and salt and pepper in a small bowl; refrigerate sauce until needed.

 

Heat oil in a 12″ cast-iron skillet over medium heat; working in 2 batches, cook patties, turning once, until a thick crust develops on both sides, about 10 minutes for medium-rare. Top each with ¼ of roasted chiles and 1 slice of each cheese; cover with lid to melt cheese. To serve, place 1 patty on each bottom bun and spread top buns with some of the sauce. Cover burgers with top bun and serve immediately.

 

These burgers can be prepared on the grill as well.
