The BBQ World Has Discovered Chili Dawg's Foods Of Fire

We at Chili Dawg's Foods of Fire have spent a great amount of time learning how our products can enhance the Barbecue experience. We want to share with our readers some of the endorsements we have obtained from excited and happy BBQ cookers. Enjoy!

Here is what some competition BBQ teams had to say about Chili Dawg’s.

“Using your Strawbanero in our sauce, we tied for 3rd at the American Royal Invitational out of 138 State Champions, the Best of the Best. Thank you, Chili Dawg's." Peter Wright - Lion Bout The Q

Update from Peter Wright: “We won chicken using Strawbanero in our sauce at the KCBS Bandits BBQ shootout in St Louis. It was an incredibly tough field with the team of the year there and 11 teams present that are in the top 50.

“We finished 12th (top third) in pork with our first time using the Habricot. This product is amazing. Thank you Chili Dawg’s!” Ron Hines - Backdraft Bar B Q

“We were at the competition in Marshall, MN when they added an elk loin category. We entered the category not knowing for sure what we were going to do. I mixed Razbanero with some BBQ sauce and put it on the elk loin and turned it in for judging. We took 1st place out of 36 entries in the elk loin category!

We know whole heatedly that your product made the difference. We competed in 7 states this year including the American Royal and the Jack Daniel's competition and your product is one that we will always keep in our arsenal. We have shared your product with friends and family and it is a definite winner! Thanks again!” Jeff Vanderlinde - Shiggin’ & Grinnin’

“This stuff is fantastic! I used the Hablemeno on chicken wings, lightly glazing them right before they were done. It is very, very good stuff.” Crash Davis – Radio Host of the Ultimate Outdoor Show

“Last year my team won 6th place in sausage at the American Royal Open Division using your Pinabanero habanero pepper spread. It is a wonderful product!” Patty Kidwell – Boys of BBQ & Patty

“Thank you for making awesome spreads. Your Mangonero helped us win 2nd place pork (our score 178.8572) in the Invitational Division at the American Royal this past weekend." Phillip Lujan – Rubbin’ My Meat

“I wanted to let you know that I used your Mangonero and Pinabanero this past weekend and my ribs took 4th out of 187 teams at the National Championship in Meridian, Texas. Great stuff!” Scott Brame – Rubbin’ My Meat

“During the 18th Annual “Original” State of Nebraska Barbecue Championship I came across Chili Dawg’s and since I like a little heat, thought I’d give it a try. I tried the Hablemeno with a cracker. Then, because it was so tasty, I tried the Hablemeno with a cracker and cream cheese. And, because the second bite was even better than the first, I went back and tried the Hablemeno with bread. There’s a reason I kept going back for more and more. This stuff is good!” By Sonny Ashford – Member of the Kansas City Barbeque Society

Tips

For plain sour cream biscuits, omit rosemary. When using rosemary, make sure it is crushed semi-fine.

NOTE: Lowfat or fat free cottage cheese with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice may be substituted for light sour cream.

I use the top of a wine glass to cut the biscuits out.

The Crash Davis Mexi Buffalo Melt

This recipe contribution is once again from Crash Davis, the KFAB radio star, host of the evening Drive Time show and the Saturday morning hit program, The Ultimate Outdoor Show.

Invention is a mother right? And sometimes on a crappy Sunday when the family is sick and you're left alone to your own devices (beer) you come up with stuff.


Mexi Buffalo Melt.
(you can do this with any burger.. venison, cow, elk.. I happened to have Buffalo handy)

Season bison burger with Chili Dawgs' Green Chile Rub and a hint of Chipolte.

Fry or grill.. either will work.

Julian style cut green peppers and sauté slightly in REAL butter and a few Julian cut onions too.

Slice up Julian style a Japeleno and mix that with the green peppers and onions.

Don't over cook, you want them to snap a bit.

Butter up a flat bread or study bread and toast either in a pan or grill.

Start building your melt like this:

Toasted bread, slice of American cheese, burger, peppers & ample onion mix then a layer of Swiss, Cheddar or whatever, topped with other half of toasted bread.

Stop eating before you reach your fingers if you can.
