The next entry on the block. I cut a cylinder out of spam and rubbed it with smoked paprika and black pepper and sliced up an orange tomato and put themon the grill.

Made some Mike Mill's style beans and some mashed potatoes and put together this tasty treat.

Spam and Beans.

 

[Al Czervik]

Very creative and it does look tasty! Nice job!

 

[colonel00]

Well done Bo. That does look good and the minimal SPAM shouldn't overwhelm the dish.

 

[bigabyte]

Hmmmm.....a SPAM bowl?:crazy: I don't know if that's such a good idea.....

But it looks really good!:hungry:

Boshizzle, the thing I like most about your SPAM entry is that it doesn't have a whole lot of SPAM in it. :becky:

There is just enough SPAM to qualify, and add a SPAM flavor to the other things you used that actually qualify as food.

I think you have a contender. :thumb:

Thanks, brethren.

bigabyte, it's not really a bowl; it's more like a wrap around. It's basically Spam wrapped baked beans. It is a spin on a frequent meal of smoked sausage, baked beans, fried potatoes, and fresh sliced tomatoes my Mother used to serve once in a while when I was a kid.

It really does look good. I was going to say something about a wrap-around, but then you mentioned it was a dish your mother used to make so now I can't bring myself to do it.

Lol, but she just put the food on the table and we all dove in and she didn't serve Spam with it. I remember maybe one time that she fried some Spam for breakfast. We usually had a can of Spam on hand but it was there mostly for my older brothers to make sandwiches. I rarely ate it. When I was a kid I couldn't get over the "jelly" that was on it.

You're thinking of a reach-around, not a wrap-around. :tsk:

Bo, that is just freaking awsome brother! It looks damn good!!

Wow the end date of this is coming up quick. I still have a few ideas I want to try too. Anyway, here is what I came up today to enter three TD's at once.

So, I have been playing around with things in my head this week and it all came together. I had a bunch of stuff in the freezer that needed to be used and I also wanted to cook this weekend. What to do, what to do. Then it all came together and turned into a search for the largest tortilla I could find. Being a lazy man, where I eventually found my tortilla will not surprise you but we will get to that later :noidea:.

First off, it's Sunday of Labor Day weekend. I had to cook something and luckily I had pulled some chicken leg quarters out of the freezer and had them ready to go. Nothing special with them really, just hit them with a good helping of my own rub and off to the drum. Once done I gobbled one down and pulled the other two for use later.

Later on this evening I fired up the kettle mounted in my WIP cooker cart.

While that was going I prepped the SPAM. I cut it thinly and hit it with a little rub and fried it up on the kettle as a bacon substitute. When it's thin and crispy I challenge any of you to tell the difference in a blind taste test :thumb:.

Once the SPAM was cooked I chopped it up and set it to the side. Next came the eggs. Using the fancy egg holder thingies I cooked up some eggs in a lazy man's fashion. I sprinkled a little cracked pepper on top because I like pepper and that is the only reason I need.

Next came the burrito. I did a simple mix of cream cheese, colby jack and some chopped serranos. Then just rolled into a tortilla and onto the grill.

And there you have it. SPAM, eggs, and tortilla all in one cook and a triple submission for three throwdowns at once. :bow::bow::bow::bow::bow:

Wait, what's that? What do you mean this doesn't count? Yes, I do like dilly bars...:boxing::boxing::roll::becky::becky:

Alright fine, I shall continue on then.....


Okay, you caught me, the first burrito was just a decoy to distract the raccoon that is now living in my garage. I kid you not, when I came out to grill this I saw him scurry off into a dark corner of my way too cluttered garage under a boat. I can't hate him though. With the economy the way it is I am sure it is tough for him to find work and he probably lives on the streets.

Anyway, moving on. Since I now have another mouth to feed I figured I needed to step this up a notch. I gathered up some ingredients and set out on the ultimate burrito build (yes I am pitching this to Fox and The Food Network ray. So, I gathered up my SPAM from earlier and some of the chicken that I had cooked but that just wasn't enough. Luckily I had plenty of leftovers in the freezer. I understand that the concept of leftovers is foreign to many of you but there are only two of us here and we can only eat so much so the rest goes into vacusuck bags and into the freezer. I grabbed some pork and brisket as they seemed to be a fitting addition. Clockwise from the top we have the SPAM (told you it was just like bacon), Chicken, Pork, and Brisket.

And here is the rest of the ingredients. I have some rice, cheese, black beans, sauteed peppers, and the tortilla with a spread of sour cream. Oh yes, the tortilla. As stated before I spent some time searching out a large tortilla. By searching out, in lazy man's terms, I asked friends if they knew where I could find some. Most recommended places that required driving and effort. Then it hit me last night as we got a ride home from the local watering hole. Taco Bell!!!!! :clap2::clap2::clap2: We placed an order of their fantastic, fresh, nutritional fare and at the window I explained my need and the guy was more than gracious to provide me with 3 of their largest tortillas. I didn't actually measure them but they have to be close to 16" if not bigger.

And thus the build begins. I will try go do this quickly as this post is growing long as it is.

But what about the other burrito you may ask? And what about the bacon, er SPAM? And the peppers? Well, here you go:

Surely you can't be serious the onlookers say. Well I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.

So now, off to the grill one more time. Amazingly it got dark fairly quickly but the coals were still going strong.

And now for final dressing. Of course the eggs were going on top along with a mix of salsas that may or may not be from Taco Bell :becky: :tsk:

Gratuitous runny egg shot:

And thus, I present to you the Grilled Stuffed SPAM, Egg, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Smoked Chicken Burrito.

Yeah, it was delicious. I really didn't get a size reference in there but you should be able to tell from the eggs on top. The girlfriend and I could only eat the piece cut of on the right but this will be saved for several meals to come.

colonel00... I am still speechless... You completely out did yourself on this! I think this will be a serious contender. :thumb:

 

[bigabyte]

Super Burrito! It has Super Powers!

 

[caseydog]

I see the strategy, now. Use enough ingredients, and you can enter every throwdown in progress. :heh:
