Beef Cheddar & Portabella Stromboli

Beef, mushrooms and cheese are a great combination. This stromboli builds on these basic flavors with sauteed portabellas, bourbon-caramelized onions, smoked black pepper white cheddar, broccoli, and a little garlic. I know that it might seem like a lot of work, but it's really not as complicated as it appears. I assure you that it's well worth the effort.

Beer-Battered Brat Lolipops with Spicy Kraut Mustard

The great folks at Johnsonville recently sent me some of their limited-edition Cheddar Cheese & Bacon brats (available at WalMart), so I came up with this recipe just in time for the big game. These are a great way to serve brats to a crowd in a way that's fun, festive and finger-food-friendly. Most folks know that boiling brats in beer with onions and then grilling them is the traditional preparation.

Big Bold Barbecued Beef Short Ribs

As I mentioned in an earlier post , I will generally take barbecued beef ribs over pork ribs any day.

The problem is that the meat cutters would rather scallop the meaty goodness out of the ribs as they separate them from the rib primal.
