Tailgating

Easy to make, these chicharrón chocolate chip cookies turn out soft, chewy, ever so slightly smoky and oh so intriguing.

This splurge of a chili recipe is made with ultra tender braised beef and is easy to make on the stovetop or in the slow cooker.

We confess, we'd never imagined you could turn ribs fall-off-the-bone tender in 30 minutes. Until this recipe made believers out of us.

Cheese straws that marry a cute form with a nonbreakable function. And that's to say nothing of the rich, cheesy flavor.

"Soft, spicy, holiday memory-invoking." "Spiced perfectly." "So easy." "Lovely." That's what folks are saying about these.

"Your family will think you are AMAZING." "A straightforward, real deal Cajun gumbo that everyone loved." "Easy and affordable." "A keeper!" That's what we're hearing about this.

Call it what you will, this cocktail is equal parts Mexican Bloody Mary, riff on a michelada, and a simple but satisfying tomato beer.

Minimal effort. Maximum return. These ribs seem like they were tended all night and day in the smoker. Yet mandate barely any effort with a slow spell in the oven or on the grill.

Skillet cake is moist and tender and sweet (not too sweet, though) and sorta like upside-down cake except it's right-side up.

This recipe yields ample dry rub, which is a good thing seeing as you’re going to want to slather it on everything you smoke or grill.

Crispy, crunchy, tangy, and as spicy as you like, this slaw can work great as a zesty side dish or as a topping for tacos, burgers, sandwiches, and more.

This roast pork butt, coated in a simple rub of brown sugar, paprika, cumin, and red pepper flakes, is an incredibly easy recipe to make and yields enough pulled pork to feed a small army.

S'mores purists may scoff, but that’s cool. More for us. Leftover Halloween candy never looked so good.

Easy to make. Good with beer. Perfect for parties. Sorta makes us think we're back in college. Beer pong, anyone?

A little pile of tasty meat cushioned by a warm tortilla and electrified by a little salsa. Life is good.

"So satisfying." "Cakey and chocolatey." "Everything a brownie should be." That's what folks are saying about this crowd-pleaser of a chocolate fix.

Who knew the famous young detective baked blondies?! But not just any blondies. These blondies. The best blondies. Full of butterscotch goodness.

Smoked beef brisket. Thousand Island dressing. Swiss cheese. Sauerkraut. And rye bread. Oh baby, what a swell recipe.

"Simple." "Sloppy and delicious." "No-fuss." 'WOW!" That's what folks are saying about this easy peasy, hands-off pulled pork.

Sweetly salty. Crunchy tender. Unexpectedly familiar. Simply complex. We confess, we're dumbstruck by these little contradictory lovelies.
