headed over to the neighbors for a
0:04
little backyard get together i am and I
0:06
am taking five of the best side dishes
0:08
ever so if y'all need a little
0:10
inspiration on what to take to y'all's
0:11
backyard party load up and come go with
0:14
me y'all ready pups
0:18
[Music]
0:30
first up and any backyard party's got to
0:33
have it but folks we are elevating your
0:36
game here it is baked bean
0:43
[Music]
0:55
but it starts really folks with two
0:57
kinds of beans now you go to the store
1:00
and you see them it says baked beans
1:02
don't buy them you're going to buy these
1:04
two kinds of beans right here and they
1:06
are going to blend so well together and
1:09
give it a great taste now we're going to
1:10
drain them so just pour them in this
1:13
colander and we'll do a shake and bake
1:15
and try to get all the juice off of them
1:19
i brown me up one yellow onion and I
1:22
fried them in what some bacon grease to
1:24
give them onions even more flavor to go
1:26
in these baked beans we're just gonna
1:29
pour them right in here now I'm gonna
1:31
take that onion and go ahead and put it
1:34
in there
1:37
and for so many years I'd always just
1:39
mix in a couple of jalapenos with this
1:41
but I'm doing it a little different so
1:43
to that we're going to use Oh my gosh
1:48
what is it some of our sweet and spicy
1:50
Hatch green chili mustard now if you
1:53
don't have this you can use regular
1:55
mustard or you can even use Dijon it is
1:58
up to you now I'm going to put about
2:00
that much in there because I'm going to
2:02
go to taste then I'm going to add some
2:05
barbecue sauce which is our Red River
2:08
mud you can use your favorite and we're
2:10
just going ahead and add the rest of
2:12
that in there cuz there wasn't much in
2:13
there
2:15
now I'm going to go ahead and fried me
2:18
up six pieces of bacon minus one short
2:21
piece that the schnowzer got cuz he was
2:23
helping me
2:28
and I'm just going to crumble it in
2:30
there now this recipe
2:32
it goes so well with a side of ribs a
2:36
steak anything like that y'all can check
2:39
them out on our other videos but we've
2:41
been making baked beans on ranches
2:43
forever and ever it is always a cowboy
2:46
favorite but has always been a favorite
2:48
at every party I ever went to in my life
2:51
they'd always say "You bring the baked
2:53
beans
2:54
[Music]
3:04
normally at this time I would add
3:06
probably a half a cup of brown sugar to
3:08
my regular baked beans but remember when
3:10
I told you we was breaking it up and
3:12
just knocking it off with a different
3:13
twist here root beer it's going to be a
3:16
little caramelization in there a little
3:17
sweetness but there is also a little
3:20
hint of vanilla in root beer now don't
3:23
take much we're going to start with
3:25
about that much and see what we're
3:27
looking like on a liquid base here
3:30
i'd say don't use no more than a four of
3:32
a cup we're going to add just a tad more
3:36
now you could use Dr pepper or CocaCola
3:40
i know people that have but I'm thinking
3:43
we're pretty good here you seasoned to
3:45
your suiting but I think we're going to
3:47
be close
3:50
dino Mike you're going to dump that in
3:52
that crock pot which is on high it's
3:54
probably going to cook for about 40 to
3:56
45 minutes but at 30 minutes you go in
3:58
there and you check it if you need to
4:00
turn it down on low you do so but this
4:02
is going to save you time you can get
4:04
out in the backyard you can supervise
4:06
whether they're playing cornhole
4:08
pitching horseshoes or drinking beer you
4:10
can be right in the middle of it
4:12
[Music]
4:26
you got to have a really good cool salsa
4:29
and today we're making our cowboy caviar
4:32
[Music]
4:59
and you can serve this salsa by itself
5:02
make it a salad
5:03
but you got to remember you want to
5:05
chill it in the ice box about an hour
5:07
before you get ready to serve it so I
5:08
have diced me up a purple onion three
5:11
Roma tomatoes avocados is really good
5:13
this summer i grilled me some corn over
5:16
it to roast it to bring out a little bit
5:17
more flavor now you can use the canned
5:20
corn but don't let me catch you doing
5:22
that
5:23
i would rather you use this kind of corn
5:26
but also I'm going to be adding some
5:28
Hatch green chilies to it and then we
5:30
got what always goes in there black eyed
5:33
peas and me I don't really go into black
5:36
beans so I'm using some kidney beans i
5:38
am so let me get this in the pot and go
5:41
to mixing it up
5:44
now you want to drain your black eyed
5:46
peas and your beans don't do this in the
5:48
house i'm just going to walk right over
5:50
here
5:54
if you are going to use black beans make
5:56
sure that you drain and rinse them very
5:59
well in go the kidney beans
6:02
in go the black eyed peas
6:06
to that goes the green chilies
6:11
[Music]
6:13
don't be rough with it just gently mix
6:15
it it needs a little dressing to go with
6:18
it to dress it up just a little and that
6:20
is a little apple cider vinegar
6:24
don't take much i like to use me some
6:26
avocado oil cuz avocados is in the
6:28
family
6:30
about 2 tablespoons of white sugar
6:35
and you got to have the juice of two
6:37
limes
6:41
that sort of brings it all together it
6:43
does
6:44
[Music]
6:51
hey I've got a very special favor to ask
6:53
of y'all if y'all could just stick
6:54
around till the end of the video Shan
6:56
has put in there a special clip that is
6:59
so powerful to honor this great
7:01
Independence Day but also I'd like to
7:03
ask you another favor and it's so easy
7:05
to help our channel grow give us a like
7:10
now remember chill this for at least 1
7:13
hour and then get ready to chip and dip
7:17
[Applause]
7:21
tater salad but have y'all ever had a
7:24
tater tot tater salad
7:27
[Music]
7:52
tater tot salad that's got a lot of teas
7:55
in it if you go to saying it that done
7:57
took me two pounds of these little tater
7:59
tots i let them come to room temperature
8:01
and then I deep fried them in some
8:03
peanut oil but there was a trick there
8:05
yeah I put about a cup of bacon grease
8:08
in there cuz it's going to give them
8:09
that added flavor we're going to let
8:11
them cool while we mix up the dressing
8:14
that goes on with it we're going to
8:15
start with some mayonnaise sour cream
8:19
to that one of them ranch seasoning
8:22
packets i'm just going to start out with
8:24
half of this for right now and then
8:26
we're going to taste it
8:29
now as an option that I would always do
8:31
at my house and I would wish that you
8:32
would do it but you don't have to is a
8:34
little bit of this pickled jalapeno
8:37
juice we're going to say about that much
8:40
we can add more later if we need it get
8:43
your whisk let's give it a good mixing
8:50
i would go some more of this i would in
8:53
fact I'm just going to use the whole
8:55
packet
8:57
but it does need some more pickle juice
9:01
jalapeno pickle juice you could eat
9:03
pickle juice too that is a good idea
9:05
Shen what do you think Mage not too much
9:08
into tater salad so you know they good
9:12
and crunchy when you hear that sound
9:14
right there they just sound like you're
9:15
rattling a bunch of quarters in a bowl
9:17
so we got some sharp cheddar cheese
9:21
some of them pickled jalapenos mhm get
9:25
out of there you know you want to go in
9:27
there don't be bashful
9:30
the bacon and the green onion
9:36
we're going to drizzle that dressing all
9:38
over the top mix it gingerly to where we
9:41
get it well incorporated give it just a
9:43
tad of seasoning right there on top
9:48
got a quick serving tip for you do not
9:50
mix that dressing until right before
9:52
serving time so them tots don't get
9:54
soggy
9:56
[Music]
10:02
it's green and it's on the grill and it
10:04
is our grilled romaine hearts
10:09
you know I really do love this recipe
10:11
it's a way to incorporate green into
10:14
something that comes off the grill
10:15
because you get that little crispness
10:17
but you get that char and that flavor
10:18
that the smoke brings about so we got us
10:21
two Roma hearts so we're going to try to
10:23
slice them right down this spine all the
10:26
way through and see what happens
10:31
that way we have two beautiful pieces
10:33
and if you get one that's trying to fall
10:35
off don't worry about him we're going to
10:37
trim him off just a little everybody's
10:40
looking good there
10:42
sort of like shucking oysters but easier
10:48
now when you get them to this point you
10:51
want to make sure that you give them a
10:53
good greasing they're fitting to meet
10:56
the fire and they need a little
10:58
protection so they don't get sunburned i
11:00
am using my favorite avocado oil so we
11:04
going to grease both sides really well
11:08
that's going to help really something
11:10
from sticking to that grill let's turn
11:14
them back over
11:16
that was so pretty
11:20
we're going to give them a little shake
11:22
of our original seasoning you ain't got
11:24
that get you some salt pepper whatever
11:27
you want to use i've got the hasty bake
11:29
fired up over there got me some hardwood
11:31
lump in there from the good folks at
11:33
Smoky Wood i'm probably going to run a
11:35
medium high heat all the way across now
11:38
when you're grilling these it's not
11:39
going to take you long at all we're
11:41
going to turn them over and we're going
11:43
to let them sit there about 3 minutes
11:45
but we're going to give them just a
11:46
little mash with that spatula when we
11:48
first put them on then we're going to
11:50
turn them back over grill the other side
11:52
i'd say pretty close to 2 minutes then
11:54
we're going to give them a dash of lemon
11:55
juice right on there and then we're
11:57
going to come off sprinkle a little
11:59
Parmesan cheese on there you're looking
12:01
for a little char and just a little wilt
12:03
on the outside edges but don't burn it
12:12
[Music]
12:34
now to finish up all that hard day's
12:36
work that you've been doing we're gonna
12:38
get that done with cowboy cocktail
12:42
