Ingredients

  • 1?single?pie crust
  • 1?(8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2?cup?sugar?divided
  • 1/2?teaspoon?vanilla
  • 3?eggs?divided
  • 1 1/4?cups?pumpkin puree
  • 1?cup?evaporated milk
  • 1/2?cup?packed brown sugar?divided
  • 1?teaspoon?cinnamon
  • 1/4?teaspoon?salt
  • 1/4?teaspoon?nutmeg
  • 1/4?cup?all-purpose flour
  • 2?tablespoons?cold butter?cut into small pieces
  • 1?cup?chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Refrigerate the crust until needed.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/4 cup of the sugar, the vanilla, and one egg and beat until smooth. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then spread the mixture in the bottom of the pie crust.
  • Preheat the oven to 350?F.?
  • In another mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, the remaining 2 eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Beat until smooth, then carefully pour the mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  • Place the pie in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Cover the edges of the pie with foil or with a?pie shield?and bake an additional 25 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and the butter. Cut in the butter with a?pastry cutter?or with a fork until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the pie. Return the pie to the oven and bake another 10-15 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle of the pie comes out clean.
  • Cool the pie for 1-2 hours, then transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely.

Notes

Total time does not include cooling time.
I like to place the pie on a baking sheet. Not only does this make it so I don't have to worry about the pie making a mess if it cooks over, but it's easier to transfer into and out of the oven. It also makes it easier to not have to worry about spilling as much when you add the streusel topping.

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Pie Dish
  • saucepan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • KitchenAid Stand Mixer
  • ladle

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 25?Oreos?about 10 ounces
  • 4?tablespoons?unsalted butter?melted
  • 3?ounces?chocolate?about 1/2 cup, finely chopped (semi-sweet or bittersweet)

For the Ice Cream layer:

  • 1?pint?ice cream?mudslide recommended but can also use chocolate or coffee

For the Chocolate Custard Layer:

  • 1/2?cup?heavy cream
  • 1?cups?whole milk?divided
  • 2?tablespoons?cornstarch
  • 1/3?cup?granulated sugar
  • pinch?salt
  • 3?large?egg yolks
  • 3?ounces?chocolate?about 1/2 cup, finely chopped (semi-sweet or bittersweet)
  • 1?teaspoon?vanilla extract
  • 3.3?grams?espresso powder?one Starbucks Via pack, about a teaspoon (use less or omit if coffee flavor not desired)

For the Whipped Cream

  • 2?cups?heavy cream
  • 1/4?cup?powdered sugar

Garnish:

  • mini chocolate chips or chocolate curls

Instructions

Crust:

  • Cookie crumbs:?Add Oreos to the bowl of your food processor and pulse until crumbs are finely crushed.
  • Mix:?Add in melted butter and pulse a few times to combine. Transfer to clean bowl and stir in melted chocolate.
  • Press:?Transfer cookie crumb mixture to pie dish and press into a uniformly thick layer. Use flat bottomed glass to help press. Place in freezer to set.

Ice Cream Layer:

  • Spread:?Set ice cream at room temperature long enough that it is soft but still frozen. Spread into uniform layer over crust.
  • Freeze:?Chill pie crust with ice cream in freezer until frozen through.

Chocolate Custard filling:

  • Scald:?In a heavy bottom sauce pot add 3/4 cups milk, cream, sugar, and salt. Whisk together and place over medium heat. Continuously stir while mixture is brought to a gentle simmer. Once small bubbles appear around the edges, remove from heat.
  • Whisk:?In a large bowl, whisk yolks together. In a separate bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup milk with cornstarch and stir until cornstarch dissolves. Whisk this mixture into the yolks until light and fluffy.
  • Temper the eggs:?Add a ladle of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while continually whisking. Repeat with additional ladle of warm cream. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot with the cream and stir well to combine.
  • Heat:?Place pot on medium heat and whisk continuously until it comes to a gentle boil. Reduce to medium-low and cook for another 5-8 minutes while continuously whisking. Remove from heat.
  • Combine:?While custard mixture is still hot, stir in chocolate, vanilla, and espresso powder. Continue stirring until melted and fully combined. Allow to cool until mixture is no longer warm to the touch.
  • Pour?cooled filling into your chilled crust over ice cream layer. Smooth top with a spatula and place in freezer to chill.

Garnish:

  • Whipped cream:?Prepare the whipped cream by mixing heavy cream and powdered sugar in a stand mixer on high speed with the whisk attachment until thick soft peaks form.
  • Toppings:?Spoon whipping cream over pie and garnish with mini chocolate chips or chocolate curls. Serve immediately.

Notes

Recipe makes one pie. Nutritional based on pie getting sliced into 12 servings.
  • Chocolate layers: You can make this mud pie exactly as the recipe was written and it will turn out. Alternatively, you can skip the chocolate custard layer and double the ice cream, or you can skip the ice cream and double the chocolate custard layer. It just depends on the complexity of the chocolate flavors you desire!
  • Ice cream flavors: you can really use any kind of ice cream you prefer. If you want to stick to it being a Mud Pie or Frozen Chocolate Pie, choose an ice cream with a chocolate base. If you want to use something like mint chip, chocolate chip, strawberry, pistachio - it's all fair game. Just make sure it either goes with the flavor of coffee, or you omit the espresso powder from the custard layer.
  • When to add whipped cream: You can either top the pie just before serving, or you can add the whipped cream whenever and freeze the pie with the whipped cream on top.
  • How to serve:?Remove pie from freezer 15-30 minutes prior to serving so that it can soften. You don't want the ice cream to melt, but it is easier to slice if it has slightly thawed. To make clean slices, use a large sharp knife dipping in a glass of boiling water and wiped clean before each slice.

Author:?Krissy Allori

Equipment

  • 9x9 baking dish
  • Mixing Bowls

Ingredients

  • 4-6?large?apples?peeled, core removed, thinly sliced (I used honeycrisp)
  • 1?lemon
  • 3/4?cup?all purpose flour
  • 1/2?cup?brown sugar
  • 1/2?cup?granulated sugar
  • 1?teaspoon?pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2?cup?cold butter?1 cube

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°贵.
  • Add?apple slices from?4-6 large apples?to a 9x9 baking dish. Cut?1 lemon?in half and squeeze juice over apples. Toss apples to evenly coat.
  • In medium sized bowl, combine?3/4 cup all purpose flour,?1/2 cup brown sugar,?1/2 cup granulated sugar, and?1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Add?1/2 cup cold butter?and use a pastry blender to work the butter into the dry ingredients, cutting it into small pieces. You want the mixture to be crumbly with little to no dry ingredients left that haven't touched the butter. Sprinkle all of the topping over the apples evenly.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and cook in preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and allow to continue cooking until the topping is crisp, about 10-20 additional minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Apples: you can use any variety that you prefer in this recipe. My preference is for Honeycrisp. Alternatively, you can use a variety of apples.
  • Fresh lemon juice is recommended but you can use bottled.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, simply cut the cold butter into very small cubes and use a fork to blend.
  • Make ahead directions: You can prepare this recipe up to a day advance and keep refrigerated until you are ready to bake.
  • Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator. Will keep for several days.

Author:?Krissy Allori

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2?cups?enchilada sauce?equivalent to one 15-ounce can
  • 15?ounces?black beans?one 15 ounce can, drained
  • 1?cup?frozen corn kernels?can use fresh or drained canned corn as well
  • 8?ounces?cooked chicken?approximately 2 small breasts or thighs, shredded
  • six?8-inch corn-flour tortillas
  • 12?ounces?Mexican blend cheese?combination of cheddar, jack, etc., shredded

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl, combine about 1 cup of the?2 cups enchilada sauce?(reserve the other half for later),?15 ounces black beans,?1 cup frozen corn kernels, and?8 ounces cooked chicken?. Stir to combine.
  • Spread half of the remaining enchilada sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the first of?six 8-inch corn-flour tortillas?on top.
  • To layer the casserole, you will take a spoonful of the chicken mixture and spread it out across the tortilla an then top with a handful of cheese. Continue layering with a tortilla, filling, then a handful of the?12 ounces Mexican blend cheese. Continue to repeat the process and portion the ingredients such that the top of the casserole has your last tortilla, the remaining enchilada sauce, and a big handful of cheese.
  • Cover and cook on high 1-2 hours or on low 4-6 hours.

Notes

Cooking tips:

  • This recipe can be made extremely easy by using canned enchilada sauce and pre-cooked chicken. Or, you can go the extra mile and make your own?homemade red enchilada sauce?and use some meat from a slow cooker chicken.
  • My preference is to always use a block of cheese and grate it yourself, however for this recipe pre-shredded cheese works perfectly fine.
  • You can use corn or flour tortillas for this recipe, but my preference is actually to use wheat flour and corn blend. They taste a lot like corn tortillas but aren't as dry.
  • If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, I highly recommend the Cuban Style Black Beans. They have a lot more flavor than plain black beans because of the added onions and peppers.
  • This recipe tastes great, if not better, the next day because it really gives all the flavors time to mix.
  • Serve with olives,?avocado, sour cream, cilantro, etc.

  • ??cup?water
  • 1?large?egg
  • sauces for serving – such as salsa, sour cream, chimichurri, or guacamole (optional)
Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions
?

  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add diced onion, minced garlic, tomato paste, tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, paprika salt, and pepper to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened.
  • Add beef broth to the skillet and simmer until the liquid has reduced and thickened slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°贵 (190°C).
  • Lay out the empanada discs on a clean surface. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each disc.
  • With a brush or your clean finger, run some water along the edge of the disc. Fold the disc in half and press them firmly with your fingers. You can make a design around the edges by twisting the dough with your fingers or using a fork to crimp the edges together.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash on top of each empanada with a pastry brush.
  • Place the empanadas in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching. You may need to cook in batches.
  • Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the empanadas are golden brown and crispy.
  • If desired, serve these empanadas with a dipping sauce, such as salsa, chimichurri, or even guacamole, for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overfill the empanadas, as this can cause them to burst in the air fryer.
  • Be sure to properly seal the edges of the empanadas to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking. Use a fork to crimp the edges together, or fold the edges over and press them firmly with your fingers.
  • You can make the beef filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble and cook the empanadas.
  • If you don't have an air fryer, you can also bake these empanadas in the oven at 400°贵 for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Leftover cooked empanadas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in the air fryer or oven before serving.
  • You can freeze cooked empanadas for later enjoyment. Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the air fryer or oven until warmed through.

  • 1?can?pineapple tidbits, drained?8 oz.
  • ??cup?red onion?chopped

  • ??cup?mayonnaise

Instructions
?

  • In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple, red onion, jalapeno, lime juice and cilantro. Mix well. Refrigerate until serving time.
  • In a separate small bowl, stir together the BBQ Sauce and mayo until well combined. Refrigerate until serving time.
  • Preheat grill.
  • Wrap each hot dog in a slice of bacon, overlapping slightly. Secure the loose end with a toothpick. Grill, turning occasionally until the bacon is crisp and the hot dog is heated through.
  • To serve, remove the toothpick from the hot dog. Place a hot dog in a bun and top with the pineapple salsa.
  • Serve with BBQ sauce mixture, if desired.

Notes

  • I personally really like any hot dog bun that has a hint of sweetness to it when it comes to Hawaiian hot dogs. If you have Hawaiian sweet hot dog buns or potato-based buns at your store, grab those!
  • It's better to use thinner bacon for this recipe so it crisps up – use caution when grilling it, though!

  • Spoon out the white portion of the potato into a mixing bowl. Add in the salt, onion powder, and pepper. Next, add in the chicken broth and the melted butter. Mix with a hand mixer until combined. (The texture won’t be smooth yet.)
  • Add the sour cream, bacon bits, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Mix with the hand mixer until all ingredients are combined.
  • With a spoon, scoop some of the potato mixture back into the potato skins. Top each potato with some additional shredded cheese and bacon bits.
  • Place your stuffed potatoes on a half cookie sheet or a disposable aluminum pan and place them directly on the grill.
  • Cook for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are heated through.

Notes

  • Depending on the size of the potatoes, your cooking time may vary. This is why I rely on internal temperature. When the potatoes are cooked, the skin will feel crispy, and when pushing on it slightly, it feels tender.
  • When scooping the flesh out, be careful not to damage the skin. Leave about 1/8 to 1/4-inch of the white part of the potato inside.

  • 1?rack?baby back ribs
  • ??cup?paprika
  • ??cup?brown sugar
  • 4?tablespoons?black pepper
  • 3?tablespoons?salt
  • 2?tablespoons?garlic powder

  • 2?tablespoons?cayenne pepper
  • 1?cup?apple juice
  • 1?cup?BBQ sauce
Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions
?

  • Take the membrane off of the ribs.
  • Combine the paprika, brown sugar, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, celery seed, and cayenne pepper in a bowl and mix well.
  • Liberally coat both sides of the ribs with the seasoning mixture.
  • Place some newspaper at the bottom of a chimney starter (a tool used to ignite charcoal). Place the charcoal on top of the newspaper. Light the newspaper on fire. Leave coals to burn for about half an hour. At this point, they will be ready to place in the smoker.
  • Once the coals are in the smoker, place 1-2 splits of hickory on top of the charcoal. Bring temperature to 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit. You want your smoke to appear blue-ish instead of a thicker white smoke.
  • Fill up one or two mini loaf pans with water and place it in the smoker, anywhere you can fit it. We have an offset smoker, so we placed the water in the smaller housing, and the meat in the large housing. However, if you don’t have this, you can place it with the meat.
  • Place the rack of ribs inside the smoker and monitor the temperature for 3 hours. Try to leave it closed as much as possible.
  • Place the ribs in a large sheet of aluminum foil, cover with half of the BBQ sauce, and pour the apple juice inside the tin foil around the meat. Finish sealing up the meat completely (airtight), and place back in the smoker for another 2 hours.
  • Remove the foil, cover with the rest of the BBQ sauce, and place the ribs back in the smoker for 30 minutes to another hour. When the BBQ sauce looks thick and sticky, this is a good indicator that the ribs are ready to be pulled from the smoker.

Notes

  • I highly recommend using dry rubs like this to add flavor to meat.

Equipment

  • 1 Pellet Smoker?I use a Treager and used Pecan pellets
  • 1 Meat probe or Instant Read Thermometer?I use Meater, which has a convenient app

Ingredients

  • 8?lb?4-Bone Prime Rib Roast?8-10 Lb
  • 5?Tablespoon?Prime Rib Rub?or Make your own

Butter Finish

  • 1/2?cup?Unsalted butter
  • 1?Tbs?Minced garlic
  • 1?tsp?Dried parsley
  • 1/2?tsp?Kosher salt

Instructions

  • Take the prime rib roast out of your fridge, and set on the counter to allow to come up to room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour. This will help the roast cook more evenly.
  • When ready to cook, set the Traeger or Pellet Smoker temperature to 250℉ and let it ignite. When smoke is coming out, shut the lid and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes or so. You should see some blue smoke, and the temperature should remain steady.
  • While the grill preheats, trim any excess fat off the roast if needed. And tie the bones on if the butcher did not do this for you. Excess fat is if there is any fat over 1 inch in thickness. Otherwise, leave fat on the roast, as it will render as it cooks and baste and flavor your roast as it cooks.
  • Now, either make your own prime rib rub by combining salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary in a bowl, or use a pre-made prime rib rub. I like the Traeger Prime Rib Rub. Then rub it all over the roast. If it is not sticking well, use a teaspoon or so of oil, rubbed over the roast to act as a glue.
  • Insert a meat probe or meat thermometer into the center of the roast, avoiding the bones and any large pockets of fat. I recommend the Meater brand probe, which connects seamlessly with an app, making cooking and monitoring the temperature easy.
  • Place the roast directly on the pre-heated grill, grill grates, bones down, close the lid, and leave it alone. Let it cook until the internal temperature reaches 115℉, about 3 1/2-4 hours. ** Remember, do not cook based on this estimated time, rather use a meat thermometer to get the best results, this is not a cut of meat you want to take chances with.
  • When roast reaches 115℉, remove the roast from the grill and place on a baking sheet, and cover with foil. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • While the roast rests, increase the Traeger temperature to 450°贵 and preheat with the lid closed. Then make your butter bath by melting butter and stirring in the garlic, salt, and dried parsley.
  • When the 20 minute rest time is up, brush your roast with the butter bath and return the roast to the grill. Be sure your meat probe is in place so you can continue to monitor the internal temperature.
  • Close the lid, and cook your roast an additional 10-15 minutes, rotating halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 125°贵 for medium-rare or your desired temperature.
  • Remove the roast from the grill and cover with foil, let rest for 30 minutes, the temp will rise about 5 degrees during this time, so keep this in mind when selecting the temp you cook your roast to.
  • Once it has rested 30 minutes, remove the string, and bones, slice and enjoy.

Notes

  • Pick your Temp:?The roast will increase in temp about 5-10 degrees during the rest period, so depending on your desired doneness, adjust accordingly. Rare is 115°贵?, Medium-Rare 120-125°贵?, Medium 130-135°贵
  • Let The Butcher Do the Work: If I can save myself time by letting the butcher do the work, I will. So, buy your prime rib with the bones cut off (by the butcher) but tied back on. This saves you loads of work, but still produces the best results.
  • Leave the Fat: The fat gives your roast flavor. Only trim fat it if exceeds an inch. Your butcher should have already done this for you. So leave it unless it is excessive, as you pay a lot for that flavor from the fat, so don't cut it all away.?
  • Rub It: There is some debate on how to get the best flavor on a prime rib, but I can tell you, use a rub. The roast is too big to marinate and get proper flavor throughout, and injecting it can lead to a dried out prime rib from moisture loss. So, rub it and cook on your pellet smoker.?
  • Use the Right Tools: Get an instant read thermometer and use a PROBE for keeping an eye on the internal temperature. The probe will help you monitor the cook so you stay on top of it, and the instant read thermometer will give you even more accurate results. The best way not to ruin prime rib roast is to cook it to the right temperature. So, invest in a good meat probe. I love the Meater brand. And a good instant read thermometer. I love Thermoworks, specifically the Thermapen One.?
  • Rest It: Let it rest. Resting the rib roast allows the juices to re-distribute and gives you the most tender, juicy roast. I know it can be so tempting to dig in early, especially because it is going to look and smell amazing. Don't do it! Do NOT skip this step.

  • Aluminum Foil
  • Pellet Smoker (Traeger)

Ingredients

  • 6-9?pound?pork shoulder?boneless
  • 1/2?cup?yellow mustard
  • 1?cup?apple juice
  • Salt and Pepper

Cajun Spice Rub:

  • 3?Tablespoons?smoked paprika
  • 2?Tablespoons?fine kosher salt
  • 2?Tablespoons?garlic powder
  • 1 1/2?Tablespoon?ground black pepper
  • 1 1/4?Tablespoon?onion powder
  • 1?Tablespoon?dried oregano
  • 1 1/2?teaspoons?thyme
  • 1?Tablespoon?cayenne

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pork Shoulder: Trim any excess fat from the surface of the meat.
  • Make the Spice Rub: In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, kosher salt, garlic powder, black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, oregano, cayenne, and thyme. Mix well to combine.
  • Season the Pork: Use some salt and pepper, to generously coat the exterior of the pork shoulder. Then cover with yellow mustard and rub it on all sides. Once coated in mustard, sprinkle the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring that it is evenly coated. Cover the pork with plastic wrap and let sit for 20 minutes to an hour.
  • Prepare the Smoker: Preheat your smoker to 250°贵 using hickory or applewood pellets for a rich, smoky flavor.
  • Smoke the Pork: Place the seasoned pork shoulder directly on the smoker rack. Close the lid and smoke for 4-5 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160-170°贵.
  • Wrap Pork: At 160-170°贵 you want to take the pork shoulder out of the smoker, and wrap in foil, then pour the orange juice into the foil. And seal so it stays in. Return to grill, fat side up and cook until the internal temperature reaches 204℉, in the thickest part of the meat, about 3 to 4 hours longer depending on the size of the pork butt.
  • This low and slow cooking method will ensure that the pork is tender and flavorful.
  • Rest the Pork: Once the pork is fully cooked, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 45 minutes.
  • Shred the Pork: Use two forks to shred the meat, discarding any excess fat that didn't render out during the cooking process.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Cajun Smoked Pulled Pork on a bun with your favorite barbecue sauce, or enjoy it on its own with a side of coleslaw and cornbread, in a wrap, salad, burrito, taco, etc.
