We love big, juicy burgers and we’re always looking for new ideas. Al at Country Bob’s gave us an idea for one of our new favorites. So, we took Al’s Hula burger and turned it into a full blown Luau by adding sweet red onion, savory Canadian bacon topped by smoked cheddar cheese and a grilled pineapple slice. Then, we filled the hole in the pineapple with a shot of Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce.

We saw a clod roast on sale this week. Never having done one, we wanted to give it a try. It is a lean cut of meat a little on the tough side. Low and slow is the way to go here. We did a garlic pepper crust and injected it with a 50/50 mix of Country Bob’s Sauce and cranberry juice. It smoked for 8 hours at 275 degrees. It came out sweet and tender and we used the leftovers in our garlic soup, thinking this would be a great week for soup because of the storms.

These were something special Patti dreamed. Literally she had a dream about these. These chops are almost 4 inches thick and sweet and tender on their own. Then, Patti made a cranberry stuffing and a zesty cranberry sauce.

All I can say is “OH MY”, these were so good that you could serve them for any special occasion and everyone will sing praises. I am looking forward to my next special occasion: another Date Night with Patti.
