We will be grilling T-Bone steaks, and my famous jalapeno poppers. I will bake potatoes on the grill...ha..So..thought I'd share some of the recipes and the ideas with you. So here goes...
I'm marinating the steaks in red wine! I put onion and garlic and salt and pepper in a bag (add some seeds from the jalapeno's) and then pour in the red wine...enough to cover the steaks. Seal the bag and turn over a few times to coat. Place in fridge. I'm letting them marinade now until noon tomorrow. so when I get up in the morning around 7, I'll turn them over again. When I get home from church ready to cook, I'll drain the marinade off and discard it. Then I'll grill them to desired doneness.
Now to "bake" the potatoes! Wash and scrub potatoes. Using a meat fork, poke holes in potatoes, 3 to 4 per potatoe. Rub softened butter and sprinkle with garlic salt and/or onion salt. Wrap in heavy duty aluminum foil and place on preheated grill and "bake" until done. I put them on a top rack so they get more heat than fire. I turn them 2 or 3 time during the baking so they don't burn on one side.
We will also be having Old Fashioned Baked Beans. These I started tonight and they will cook while we are at church.
2 cups Northern Beans
5 cups water
1 small onion chopped
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 thick slices pork (I used thick sliced bacon)
Wash and pick over beans. Cook overnight or 9-15 hours. When tender, drain beans and reserve liquid. Mix these ingredients 1/4 cup molasses or maple syrup; 2 Tablespoon brown sugar; 1 teaspoon dry mustard; 1/4 cup catsup; 3/4 cup to 1 cup bean liquid. Pour over beans, cover and heat 1 to 2 hours.
Now....for the biscuits! Hubby tells me not share the recipe...but I think you'll love these.
