Well....Are you sick of fireworks yet?
hehehehe..
What a GLORIOUS Fourth of July it was in Michigan..Picture Perfect!
And whats a Fourth without a Cook-Out?
Remember last week I told you about the Jalapeno Popper cooker that my friend Jim had? Those things were so darned good that I wanted one for myself. But sadly I discovered that they are only available On-Line. But something that you may or may not know about me, is that I am THE KING...of Jerry-Rigging.
I racked my brain all week to come up with a way to make these Poppers for dinner, and then it came to me...The Dollar Store! I bought 2 of those aluminum lasagna pans for a buck, flipped it upside down, made 12 or 15 holes, and popped the Poppers in the holes. I crimped a piece of foil on the bottom to keep the grease from the bacon from dripping onto the fire, then....VOILA!!!
This weeks Popper Stuffing was, Onion and Chive Cream Cheese, finely chopped smoked sausage, and grated Mozzarella. I used Maple Flavored bacon to wrap it with, and let me tell you that not one Popper was left!!!
Angus Certified Chuck burgers..Koegels Vienna Hot Dogs..And some fresh kielbasa from the Hungarian Church....
Oh, I made a spread of chopped garlic and butter, slathered that on the buns, and had grilled garlic butter buns for the Burgers and dogs...hehehehe
God I LOVE the Summer!!!!!!
Peace...!!!

Holy Cow! I want to do one of those popper things.
Happy 4th to you! (she says averting her eyes from all that meat)
i am definitely planning dinner at your house should i ever make it to michigan!!!!
Holidays without family are tough. You are blessed to share so much good food with so many hungry mouths! I'm grateful the fireworks didn't phase Molly (my puppy). Looks like you had a lovely day!
I can smell those poppers from Arizona.
Ingenious! And looking mighty tasty!
Galen is The Master of Barbecue and those poppers are masterpieces!
I hear your enthusiasm..but frankly I'm grossed out. Maybe that is why no one comes to my tofu and wheat germ holiday dinners?
Excellent - where do I get an invite for next year? I'll have to smoke some smelt first...
Oh, I'm hungry... sooooo hungry....
Now I would never have thought of that so we had to settle for T-Bone and porterhouse steaks. All rubbed down with a garlic powder and real butter. They grilled up wonderfully.
Now this made me hungry. Very clever. Aloha
Brilliant, G-Man!
I have used a Michigan license plate for a vent cover on the smoke stack of my old smoker- I know about innovation! Don't even need a holder for the poppers... laid down on their side and turning them has worked for me! Try buying a new rib rack, cutting the ribs in half, and finding out they are too damn short to go in the rack... laid them down flat, and all was well!
Looks yummy! Kudos to your ingenuity.:)
while i try to eat like lou with tofu, i still love me some BACON wraps!!!! yummy, wow i think i gained 5 pounds reading this entry, happy 4th to you too!!

Hope you had a great day, and from the looks of it, you did!
Hope your weekend was wonderful! The food looks yummy!
