Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Your invited to a cook out, what are you bringing.

Some kinda Cowboy salad is always welcome. I like roasting corn day before making.









For any libturds in the group..

Three bean salad.
Sauerkraut salad.
4th of July Bean Carousel (fancy baked beans with burger in them)

Deviled eggs are never not a hit.
(No mayo? Make them better, use Miracle Whip)

Maybe, home cooked beans?

I have a 3 day, rotating cycle of easy to prepare meals. First day, canned chili over Fritos corn chips. Second day, Dinty Moore beef stew. Third day, Chow Mein, any flavor you choose. Fourth day, start over and follow the cycle with total ease and economy…

Sub peach or parchment paper for foil and fold it to hold the butter and it will pick up plenty of smoke. I use the black paper clips to hold things together and it works beautifully. I usually use a pound of bacon at the base to soak up the butter and make a place for the cabbage to sit. Fold the paper at the edges and it will hold the fats nicely.

Shrimp and Artichoke Heart Salad with Lemon Dressing

This is incredible stuff and leaves people talking about it afterwards... it is important to keep the pepper as coarse as possible. Our good friend Dennis Neill also said this was the best salad he ever ate.

2 pounds of medium to large cooked shrimp, chilled
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly crushed
2 cans Artichoke Hearts drained well (NOT marinated)

2-3 hearts of Romaine lettuce torn into pieces

Dressing:
1 ½ cup Mayonnaise
½ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
3 Tablespoons chopped fresh chives (or 3 teaspoons dried)
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon (or 1 teaspoon dried)
Fresh coarse ground pepper and salt to taste
½ cup whipping cream

Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, and tarragon thoroughly in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl whip the cream until medium-firm peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the mayonnaise mix and chill in the frig.

In a large bowl mix the shrimp, fennel seeds, and artichoke hearts and then add about half of the dressing and mix gently. Then add the lettuce and toss gently to coat the lettuce. Add more dressing as needed and serve whatever is left over on the side.

Quite a few folks here have had this and no one bitched... The bigger the shrimp the better IMO.

+1 In my circle of family and friends it’s the same way. We cover all the main stuff and most the time the woman coordinate the deserts/salads and guys always show up with drinks!

If you are feeling inclined to bring a side dish you can never go wrong with a bunch of jalapeños poppers!

You can leave the foil unwrapped for the first hour and plenty of smoke will permeate the dish if it's something you're after.

Just keep the smoke heavy and temps low. Then wrap tight and let it go.

If you don't care about smoke at all you can achieve the same results in an oven or even a crock pot.

Approximate Cook time?
