I love smoked sausage, if I am ever going to a smokehouse for dinner I always get the sausage as one of my meats. I also love bacon, ever since I won the Canadian bacon championships its been a passion of mine to include bacon with all sorts of dishes. When you combine bacon and sausage you really pump up the flavours of both meats, so I recommend giving it a try.
Queso is a very popular Mexican style cheese dip. It literally means “Cheese” in Spanish, but this dip is so much more than just cheese. I’ve always been a fan of Tostitos Queso dip out of the jar; in fact I can tell when my wife is really happy with me because she will buy me some at the grocery store. The home-made stuff is even better though, and you can mix it up with your own mix of flavours and spice as well. Don’t be afraid to try your own mix here, the way we do it is the way we like it, but you can easily add or subtract from the ingredients list to make it your own.
Garlic bread is so 1990’s, I can’t believe you can still go to grocery stores and buy cheap garlic bread made fresh daily but nothing more than butter and garlic spread on a loaf of French bread. Don’t get me wrong, I like it, but it needs a refresh. Something more that will have you craving more than just butter and garlic. My wife’s grandma has been making her famous mustard bread for years and I am officially a convert. I’ll take mustard bread 10 times out of 10 instead of a bakery ready garlic bread any day of the week.
When we go out for pizza, my kids are always asking to get bread sticks or pizza bread as an appetizer. I’ve done a lot of pizzas on my Pit Boss, so I figured I could make a superior version of this family favorite appetizer as well.
