Today I tried making an new appetizer, and I think it failed. I have a Plan B and C, but after this one I'm not too enthusiastic. Either that or I'm just too full.:biggrin:

I tried to make "Beanie Balls". The first problem was they were a little bit tricky to make. So an appetizer that is tricky to make should have a big "wow" factor (in my opinion).

These were little balls of pork sausage, pressed with my thumb to make a bowl, rubbed, and filled with smokehouse beans. Then topped with 1 or 2 pieces of burnt ends and warapped in pig-candied bacon. I applied a glaze towards the end.

While I thought this sounded great, while eating them it just tasted like meaty smokehouse beans. So I'm not sure it was worth the effort.

Oh well. Maybe this weekend I'll try something else.:icon_sad

No pics? I bet it would have looked good.

bigabyte · Dec 10, 2008

No pics. It was a practice run. Just 4 of them for lunch. So it never happened.:biggrin: They looked and smelled good, and even tasted good, but a bowl of extra meaty smokehouse beans would have tasted the same with less effort, so what's the point?

Those look pretty good Chris!, You're sure to get some votes

Thought that I would try my hand at one of these throwdowns. I did some salmon that I put in a brine overnight. I think it turned out pretty good.

Pulled Pork Taco Salad and Pulled Pork Nachos. I realize they were assembled and may not be eligble but they make a great appetizer.

Mr. Bo · Dec 14, 2008

I tried a take-off on Crescent Dogs for my entry. Lil Smokies wrapped in bacon, some topped with port wine cheese and some with pepper jack, then wrapped in half of a crescent roll and dusted with Pigs In A Polka Rub. They were smoked for an hour or so at 275 and served with Sticky Pig Mustard Sauce. Oddly enough, no one complained.

Bride of Roo(BQ'n) · Dec 14, 2008

Ok guys here we go, my first entry. Smoked some little sizzler breakfast sausages (cause I thought we had a chub of JD but we didnt) Baked off some won tons in the oven. Mixed the sausage with some co-jack cheese and ranch dressing and finished in the oven for a few minutes. Tasty on a chilly Nebraska winter day.

Lil' Smoinks!

I showed the wife the competition on this thread and I may have convinced her that I need a better camera to compete in these throwdowns!:wink:
Bacon wrapped smokies dusted with Hoochie Mama rub and put to rest on some fancy schmancy crackers. The crackers got a dollup of Stubbs Mesquite and then some shreded cheese and melted. The Smoink then went on the cracker. To abide by contest rules, the ones I submitted were cooked over a live pecan fire..........in the fireplace no less!! It was too farking windy outside to do anything! Fire is fire, right? The submitted smoinks had a sliver of pickled jap and onion wrapped in with the bacon. They got plated with some hot pickled carrots, pickled garlic. These were farking good!!!

I also drizzled some Wooster sauce on em!

Chit, I even went all Iron Chef on the presentation!
