Share your tailgate recipes here!

[Meck77]

Ok Omaners looking for some help. We are less than 60 days away from the first pre-season game and I know there are a few of you out there that do some bbqing. So if you have some ideas of what we can cook in the lot this year let us know!

Got any tips on making your own BBQ sauce? Dips? special BBQ secrets you would like to share?

I can almost smell the smoke in the air!

I think what we are going to do this year is set a menu in advance so that way everyone knows what to expect and what to bring if they want to add a side dish or something to compliment the main dish. The good thing is the bus is dialed in so instead of working on it like we had to last year at this time there is time to plan out the important details like food!

The only obvious game day menu at this point is the Thanksgiving game in Dallas this year. That is a no brainer. We'll be bbqing and deep frying turkeys all day long!

Meck...check your pm's.

Seafood in SD sounds great! I'd imagine there is a good fresh seafood place we could hit the day before and stock up!

Oh come on now Denfan. You were in Canton. It wouldn't have been the same without all the meat,chicken,saugage etc on the Barby!

Ironically enough Desmond http://orangeforceone.com/photos/Tex...CT0237_JPG.htm just stopped by and said "Eh man wen is da next Broncos tailgate man"....I'm ready to cook it up!

Strange how things work like that! He said he plans on making all the tailgates next year. That will be a big help! Desmond can throw down the BBQ!

Seafood eh? You'll have to school me on the crab legs again......I liked them well enough sure, but I still have no clue a to how to eat them properly....too much beer messes with the retention ya know

Somehow missed Desmond last year, but I'm looking forward to checking his grill skills out this year. As for recipes, I really have none....but if ya keep the Bud a flowin' and have some hot peppers around somewhere, I'm guarenteed to be sassified

Hey Meck, how fancy do ya wanna get with the menu? I have quite a few proven "killer recipes" but some of those are sooo secret, that "if I tell ya, I'd have to kill ya"! I do have a few simple to make "eyepopping, mouth droolin', can't finish cookin' em' and there already gone" recipes.

You sir don't mess around. I know this first hand. Any good grub you suggest I'm all ears!

Here's one from last season, which I believe you may have tried.

2lbs young asparagus
1/2-3/4 lb thinly sliced prosciuto ham
1/2 cup olive oil
1-2 tblsp sesame seeds
pinch of salt
pinch of coarse black pepper


Wash asparagus and trim the cut ends. Wrap prosciuto ham around 2-3 pieces of asparagus in a tight spiral and tuck ends between asparagus to secure. Combine salt, pepper, sesame seeds and olive oil. Marinade asparagus for a min. of 30 min. Place on grill for 4-8 min (depending on size) turning frequently.

That's all folks!

For a sweet treat, and very simple I like mud Buddies.

The recipe is usually on the back of the box of Chex.

Peanaut Butter
Chocolate Chips
Powdered Sugar
Chex (What ever flavor you like)

Melt the PB and Chocolate chips in a big pot on the stove (You microwave too if you like)

Now mix in the Chex until coated evenly.

Dump the coated Chex into a 2 gallon freezer bag full of Powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake it to coat the CHex.

Let cool. You're done.

For a twist on the traditional hamburger, use some soy sauce, shiracha(spicy chili paste), honey and onion soup mix in the ground beef for an out of this world flavored burger.

Sassy's Pasta Salad

You can make this the night before and just add the salad dressing right before serving (otherwise it tends to soak in...I add a little after I make it and then add more later.)

For a crowd:

2 -3 1 lb. boxes tri color rotini pasta
Cook according to package and drain in cold water....set aside.

Add:
diced red onion
diced cucumber
diced roma tomatoes
diced red, green, yellow, orange pepper (could add hot peppers if you like them)
2-3 6 0z. packages diced pepperoni

Mix with Kraft Caesar Italian with Oregano dressing or
Caesar Vinagrette with Parmesan.
Top with freshly grated Parmesan.

Family Teriyaki Marinade works great with a good London Broil

1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
1/2 Cup Orange Juice
1/2 Cup Vegitable Oil
Teaspoon of Sugar
Teaspoon of Ginger
Let the meat marinade for a good amount of time (usually 12 hours atleast)
You can use the excess marinade on top of white rice- it tastes great

That's sounds good! You are going to the NY game right? With a side of Sassy Salad we will be in good shape!

I think B-love was saying that if we have enough Broncos fans together for this trip he can arrange for a gathering at a sports bar near the stadium. We could gather there, get the marinade set on Sat and grill it up Sunday!

[Sassy]

For those early AM Tailgates:

Bob Morgan Buns

This is just one recipe though...you might need to triple it or more!
(Baked in separate pans...) Don't forget the Kahlua and coffee

2 pkgs. frozen dinner rolls
1 small package french vanilla pudding
1/2 c. butter melted
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Chopped pecans (optional)

Grease large bundt pan and fill with frozen dinner rolls. Top with dry pudding mix and pour melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans over the top. Cover with greased wax paper and let stand overnight. Bake at 325-350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Turn onto platter and let drain.

Going to both New York games and the Skins/Broncos game. I am thinking of renting a motor home for the Giants game, maybe the bills game as well. What bar is B-love trying to set things up at? There should be atleast 10 coming with me, it is only a 2 hour drive from my place.

Sweet! We'll have to park by you guys if possible. I need to do some bumping of the tailgate planning threads and sticky them.

Hang on I'll dig up the Giants thread.

I haven't tried this one...but I'll bet it would be awesome on the grill...

2 T. fresh lemon juice
2 T. fresh chopped parsley

Mustard eh? I've used mayonaise which sounds gross but it tastes great!

What do you think about doing a pig for the KC game Sassy? It came out awesome last year. Being that it's a night game it gives us plenty of time to cook it. Actually the system we use is real easy also. We could do a couple of your recipes to compliment "Dick" the pig also.

[Sassy]

Personally, I like lemon and dill but this one still sounded good.

Here's A Spice Mix:
Mix all spices together and store in a shaker.

Cajun Spice Mix

1 1/8 t. salt
3.4 t. sweet paprika
1/2 t. white pepper
1/4 t. onion powder
1/4 t. garlic powder
1.4 t. cayenne pepper
1/4 t. dried thyme leaves
1/4 t. black pepper
1/8 t. dried sweet basil leaves

[Hotrod]

Simple yet a crowd pleaser

Just add dry ranch dressing mix to the hamburgers (along with egg and crushed crackers abit of pepper) Most people I throw that at at BBQ's have no clue what Ive done but love them burgers.

Well we kinda did it by committee last year. I think Desmond is going to make most of the games this year so he'll be the guy along with a couple guys from the clubcrush group who said they want to help grill. Hope you can make it down this year Spider.
