Texas-Twinkies_Hero

Matt Pittman, founder and CEO of Meat Church BBQ, takes jalapeño poppers to a whole new level by smoking the cream cheese for the filling and, even better, adding brisket. “People will love these,” promises Matt. Plus, this perfect party snack is, as he says, “fun to make, easy to cook, and you can’t screw it up.” Bonus: The smoked cream cheese, delicious in the Texas Twinkies, is also great on its own served with pepper jelly (or some Cowboy Candy) and crackers.

Ronny Joseph's simple side is easy to make and goes with just about anything under the sun. Give it a head start with a quick boil on the stove, then season it up and roast to golden brown perfection on the Traeger. (Recipe adapted from The Primal Gourmet Cookbook)

HERO_Short-Rib-Quesadilla_9076

To say Los-Angeles-based chef Jason Fullilove embraces many cuisines in his cooking is putting it mildly as exemplified by this dish: Corn tortillas stuffed with curry-coated smoked short ribs and cheese get topped with a kimchi-like garnish. The result is a quesadilla that explodes with flavor: tender beefy richness and gooey cheese cut with tangy, hot pickles. The coconut water in the spritz helps caramelize the ribs, but you can use just apple cider vinegar. You can also make these quesadillas using leftover meat from your favorite short rib recipe.

Baked_Pretzel_Bites_Beer_Cheese

The all-star duo of soft pretzels and cheese sauce decided to add in some golden suds to take this winning combo from damn good to absolutely amazing. We start with baking pretzel bites from scratch and then combine that with a delicious beer-cheese sauce made out of white cheddar, gruyere, cream cheese and your favorite lager.

MikeRobinson_Focaccia_3701_hero

“Awesome dish. Simple to make.” That’s how Chef Mike Robinson describes his light and airy focaccia stuffed with creamy ricotta cheese and verdant pesto. You can use your own homemade or high-quality store-bought pesto, or—even better—make Mike’s which you can find in his Slow Braised Venison and Pesto Lasagna on this site.

Traeger-Smoked-Beef-Jerky_Hero

Traeger Chef Austen Granger knows a thing or two about making jerky. When he bartended, he used to make and sell a variety of flavors along with his cocktails. And he once had to make 400 pounds of jerky for a Traeger event. This easy recipe is one of his favorites and requires no special ingredients.

Traeger-Three-Wings_Hero

Making a variety of sauces (each assembled in just a couple minutes) to toss cooked wings into is a super easy way to offer a choice of flavorings. Here we have a fruity and fragrant BBQ sauce, a take on bang bang sauce, and a tandoori spiced sauce. Save yourself a step and buy what are known as chicken party wings—wings sold already broken down into flats (also called wingettes) and drumettes (which look like tiny chicken legs). You can also butcher whole wings yourself; just discard the wing tip or save it for the soup pot.
