Give me a little while to make sure Hubby is up and has coffee. I’m at work. Recipe is at home. I got it from Hubby’s godmother. Spent her entire life in the south (Florida & Alabama). Great lady. We lost her earlier this year.

Best corn on the cob is to butter up after cooking, squeeze limes over the top, coat thoroughly, and then sprinkle on Tony Charchere’s.

Nope, no grilling. Arthur has other plans for the Outer Banks.

I’m sorry, but cooking a filet mignon to medium well should be a crime.

BBQ rub:

1 cup salt
1/2 cup pepper
1/2 cup paprika

Rub meat the day before and keep in cooler.


Mopping sauce:

Brown one large onion in one stick melted butter. Add one bottle of Italian dressing, juice from four lemons, one cup vinegar, 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce and one beer. Cook until mixture is hot.


Cook meat at 250 - 275 until done. I use a 55 gallon barrel with the grate about 6” from the top and have a door to add charcoal. Mop meat about every 30 minutes and turn about every hour.

Drink beer with buddy in the shade while waiting for meat to be mopped and turned. Enday the joy aster zee fitsr pik sax.

Big Kahuna Burgers with a Tiki theme (if you can get the decor). “That is a tasty burger.”

2lbs hamburger (recommended 80/20)
4 tbs teriyaki marinade (recommend La Choy Hawaiian style)
6 pineapple slices (to be grilled)
6 slices of provolone
1 pkg large buns (ideally King’s Hawaiian, if you can get them. But other large buns will do.)

Optional condiments:
lettuce, purple onion, tomato, sliced pickled jalapeno, peperoncini or banana pepper.

Big Kahuna Secret Sauce

3/4 cup each ketchup and brown sugar
1 tbs Dijon mustard

Simmer all ingredients until sugar is melted and fully blended. It is sweet but works very well.

Marinate hamburger for at least 20min in teriyaki sauce.

BBQ grill both burgers and pineapple slices then melt cheese over burger before serving.

My preferred condiments are just purple onion and tomato.

Any kind of cold soda is good as a tasty beverage, but for adults, Mai-Tais just rock. Along with the Tiki decor, Hawaiian shirts are de rigueur.

Streaming Tiki music on the Blue Tiki Lounge on Live 365.

Other genres that are good include Space Age Bachelor Pad.

Buffalo burgers are great. Sounds yummy.

We are prolly having beef burgers cooked on gas. I like to use 85/15 meat for the grill. All I do is mix one packet of dry onion soup mix, some garlic and black pepper in my meat, form it into patties and slap it on the grill. Never fails me.

Is there a particular store to get green enchilada sauce at? I could never find it in Minnesota. Just now thought about it when I saw your post. I haven't looked in South Dakota yet.

Guess it is a regional offering——supermarkets on the East Coast carry it.
