Chili Cheese Dog
Always a crowd favorite – the chili cheese dog. A good chili dog is usually pretty messy – but it doesn’t have to be. Before you put the hot dog in the bun, spread cheese all over the bottom. The cheese will melt and prevent the chili from soaking through the bun. Adding cheese to the chili will also act as a thickening agent, further making the chili dog spill-proof!

Brisket Burger with Smoked Bacon
Find a brisket that hasn’t been trimmed and feed 1” cubes into the meat grinder. If you don’t have a meat grinder, the butcher will be happy to do this for you. The fat in the brisket is what makes this burger the most flavorful bite you’ll have all summer.
Tip: Chill the metal grinding disc in the freezer before you grind the meat. The meat will grind smoothly!

Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger
This depression-era recipe was borne of necessity but stuck around because it’s some of the tastiest comfort food out there. This is a fried burger, so you melt butter in the skillet. Mash the burger down good and cover in onions. Fry the burger in the butter and flip over with the onions so the onions crisp up. Delicious!

This budget-friendly meal will be a huge hit with everyone. You don’t see bologna sandwiches around too much anymore, but your family will want more of them after they taste this. This recipe starts with a 5 lb. bologna, smoked for extra flavor.

Fried Bologna Sandwich
For the perfect fried bologna sandwich, we need quality ingredients. Go to the nearest deli and find some good all-beef bologna. Ask the deli to slice it 5/16″ – 1/2″ thick. You’ll want two thick slices of bologna per sandwich.
After that, head over the to the produce department and get a yellow onion and two large green jalapenos that look fresh and plump. Get you a beefsteak tomato if you can, and if you are low on mayo, get Duke’s mayonnaise. Last, pick thick-sliced bread if you can’t get a hold of any Texas toast.

Brined Pork Chop
A simple dry-brine makes this pork chop the most flavorful and tender you’ve ever had. Brine these in the ice box for 24 hours, turning over halfway. Bring to room temperature, and then grill.

Chipotle Grilled Shrimp
This recipe is simple and full of flavor. I use wooden skewers, soaked in water for about 45 minutes before we start cooking. I also like to warm up the shrimp before putting them on the fire to prevent the shrimp from crimping up.
