Cranberry Honey Turkey with Burning Asphalt Sauces Cranberry Honey Gourmet Sauce

This is one of the easiest ways to make an incredible Turkey for Thanksgiving, or for that matter, any other time of year as well. I’ve done these in both the oven and my smoker. Either way, the end result will have everyone raving about your Thanksgiving Turkey. If I can make it, you certainly can!      INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons minced garlic

2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

1 tablespoon Burning Asphalt Sauces Italian Seasoning (Heat Level 0)

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

salt to taste

1 bottle of Burning Asphalt Sauces Cranberry Honey Gourmet Sauce (Heat Level 0)

1 (12 – 14 pound) whole turkey

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, basil, Burning Asphalt Sauces Italian Seasoning (this seasoning is very mild), black pepper and salt. Wash the turkey inside and out. Be sure to pat dry. Carefully pull back the skin from the meat of the turkey. The easiest way to do this is by slowly working your fingers between the breast and the skin. To avoid tearing the skin, take your time. Spread half the mixture between the skin and the meat. Rub the remaining half on the outside of the turkey. If the skin will not stay in place, use toothpicks to reattach. Pour a bottle of Burning Asphalt Sauces Cranberry Honey Gourmet Sauce (Heat Level 0) over the enitre turkey. Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for 3 to 4 hours at 325 degrees F. When the turkey is done, the internal temperature should be at least 185 degrees F. Serve and enjoy one of the most flavorful turkeys you will ever have!

SWEET HEAT ICED TEA

With some recent hot weather and much more to come, there is nothing like sitting back and enjoying a nice cold glass of Iced Tea. My favorite way to make iced tea is to make it a Sweet Heat Iced Tea. You can also add your favorite liquor to this wonderful refreshing drink. Of course, when I’m having one on the deck, it has to be served in a Mason jar. Enjoy. I am right now.

Ingredients

6 cups water

2/3 cup sugar

6 black tea bags

3 Burning Asphalt Sauces (BAS) Extra Hot Dried Chili Peppers

3 cups ice

lemon or lime slices

Bring 6 cups of water to a boil. In a large heatproof pitcher mix the boiled water, sugar, tea bags, and BAS Extra Hot Dried Chili Peppers. Let sit for 10 minutes or until tea bags seep thoroughly. Add 2 cups of ice and stir. Pour tea into individual glasses and add remaining ice. Serve with lemon or lime slices.

Burning Asphalt Sauces’ Cajun Burger

This Burning Asphalt Sauces’ Cajun Burger recipe is so easy to make and quite honestly, tastes awesome! One thing that I like to do is make much more of the Cajun Mayonnaise then this recipe calls for. That way, I always have some in the refrigerator ready to go for anything.

Ingredients

Cajun Mayonnaise

Burgers

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon of BAS Cajun Sizzle Seasoning. Set aside in refrigerator.

In a large bowl mix together the ground beef, BAS Jalapeno Slices, onion, garlic, BAS Montreal Style Steak & Burger Seasoning, and BAS Sweet Pepper Steak & Dipping Sauce. Form the ground beef mixture into 4 patties. Place the burgers on a medium to high heat pre-heated grill. Cooking time is approximately 5 minutes per side. Make sure the patties are cooked until well done. Place one slice of cheese on each patty as soon as the burgers are removed from the grill. Prepare the rolls by spreading the Cajun Mayo on each half. Top the burgers with the lettuce and tomatoes. Enjoy.

I Love to make this recipe. It’s so easy, quick, and awesome tasting. And HEALTHY too! Serve as a meal or appetizer. Truly a dish that Bubba Gump would be proud of!

 

 

Ingredients

 

Combine the flour, Burning Asphalt Cajun Sizzle Seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a large zip-loc bag. Shake to mix ingredients. Rinse the deveined & peeled shrimp well under cold water. Place in the zip-loc bag, seal, and shake. Remove the coated shrimp from the bag and place on a cookie sheet. Refrigerate for approximately 15 minutes. DO NOT DISCARD the flour mixture in the bag. After 15 minutes, place the shrimp back in the bag and shake well once again. Remove and carefully toss into a pan with hot oil in it. Cook in pan for about 3 minutes or until pink. Remove and place shrimp in a large bowl. Pour the 8 oz of Burning Asphalt Buffalo Wing Sauce (you can also use Burning Asphalt Ranch Wing Sauce if you would prefer) over the shrimp and toss well. Serve with Ranch Dressing or traditional Bleu Cheese. You can also serve the shrimp on a bed or rice or pasta.

 

WORLD’S BEST MEATLOAF…REALLY

Posted on by
World's Best Meatloaf
World’s Best Meatloaf…Really!

I thought naming this recipe the “World’s Best Meatloaf” was very appropriate since it really is the World’s Best to me. Trust me, I’ve had enough of them to know! Even though meatloaf has European origins and dates back to the 5th century, I can’t help but think how American it really is. When I hear Meatloaf I immediately think of two things; Meatloaf the tasty filling dish and Meat Loaf the once overweight, sweaty, “Bat Out Of Hell” Grammy Award Winner singer. I prefer the second Meat Loaf in moderation.

Ingredients 

  • 2 lbs. Ground Beef
  • 1 Tbl Burning Asphalt Montreal Style Seasoning
  • 8 Crackers crushed (any kind will do)
  • 1 Egg
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • ½ small Onion diced
  • Burning Asphalt Ketchup (You can use BAS Gourmet Ketchup that has NO Heat, Jalapeno Ketchup with medium heat, or Habanero Ketchup with fiery heat.)
  • ½ cup Shredded Cheese of your choice  

Mix all ingredients and form into a loaf. Place in loaf pan and bake in oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove from oven and squirt Burning Asphalt Ketchup (the heat level and amount is up to you) on the top. Place back in oven for an additional 20 minutes. When times up, remove from oven and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve & Enjoy!


 

DEEP-FRIED CAJUN TWINKIES*

Deep Fried Cajun Twinkie with Powdered Sugar

I thought it would only be appropriate to follow up my Twinkie Bailout post with a recipe for Deep-Fried Twinkies with a KICK! This is the best way to add about 275 calories to the already 150 calorie Twinkie. By the way, this is my recipe, not Paula Deen’s!

 

Ingredients 

  • 6 Twinkies
  • Popsicle Sticks
  • 4 cups of Peanut or Vegetable Oil
  • ¼ cup of Flour 

Batter Ingredients

Freeze Twinkies overnight. Remove from freezer. In a deep fryer heat the 4 cups of Peanut or Vegetable Oil to 375 degrees. Mix the Milk, Vinegar, and oil together in a bowl. In a large separate bowl mix the Flour, Burning Asphalt Cajun Sizzle Rub, and Baking Powder. Blend well. Now it’s time to combine the two bowls. You have now created your batter. Whisk until smooth. Cool in refrigerator for 10 minutes.  Insert the Popsicle Sticks lengthwise into the Twinkies. Be sure to leave about 3” of the stick showing. This is your handle! Dust the Twinkie with the Flour and submerge into the batter. For the next step, using tongs, submerge the Twinkie in the hot oil. You will have to hold them down as they tend to float. They are ready when golden brown, approximately 3 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Let cool for 5 minutes. They can be served on or off the stick. Add toppings if you wish. Enjoy!  

*If you do not want a spicy hot Twinkie, do not add the Cajun Sizzle. Substitute that for ½ tsp of Salt.
