COOKING DIRECTIONS

Heat an outdoor grill to medium heat.

Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice in a medium bowl.

Cut the Blue Ribbon Bacon slices in half. Wrap the bacon pieces around each mushroom. On 8 metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternate threading the pineapple chunks, bacon wrapped mushrooms, shrimp, Blue Ribbon Smoked Sausage, onion, and bell pepper.

In the bowl with the pineapple juice, add the barbecue sauce, corn syrup, ketchup, soy sauce, lime juice, maple extract, garlic powder, ground ginger and ground coriander. Whisk to combine. Reserve ⅔ cup for serving. Baste the top side of the kabobs with some of the remaining sauce.

Lightly oil the grill and transfer the kabobs to the grill, basted side down. Baste the opposite side of the kabobs, then close the grill. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the bacon is done, turning and basting occasionally with the sauce, about 10 minutes.

Serve with the reserved sauce.

COOKING DIRECTIONS

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook Blue Ribbon Bacon until crisp; drain on paper towel.

On 2 of the bread slices, place 1 slice provolone cheese, 3 slices of Blue Ribbon Bacon and 1 slice Cheddar cheese on each. Top with remaining bread slices.

Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat or to 375°F. In shallow bowl, beat egg, beer, flour and chili powder with fork until smooth. Dip each sandwich into batter, giving it a few seconds on each side to absorb the batter; drain excess batter back into bowl.

Melt butter on hot griddle. Place sandwiches on griddle. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

COOKING DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter a large baking dish. Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast for 25 minutes, stirring, until lightly browned and crisp.

Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, melt the 1 stick of butter. Pour half of the butter into a small bowl and reserve. Add the celery, carrots and onion to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and just beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Scrape the vegetables into a large bowl. Add the Blue Ribbon sausage to the skillet in lumps and cook over moderately high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Return the vegetables to the skillet, add the sage and thyme and cook for 1 minute. Add 1 cup of the stock and cook, scraping up any bits stuck to the pan, until nearly evaporated, about 5 minutes.

Scrape the Blue Ribbon sausage mixture into the large bowl and add the toasted bread cubes. Add the remaining 2 cups of stock and stir until the bread is evenly moistened. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Spread the stuffing in the baking dish and brush with the reserved melted butter.

Bake the stuffing in the center of the oven for about 1 hour, until it is heated through and the top is browned and crisp. Let the stuffing stand for 10 minutes before serving.

COOKING DIRECTIONS

Add olive oil to a 4-5 quart saute pan over medium high heat.

Fry the Blue Ribbon Smoked Sausage and onions.

Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add chicken broth, tomatoes, heavy cream, pasta, and seasonings.

Simmer for 15 minutes, or until pasta is tender.

Remove skillet from heat and stir in ½ cup cheese.

Top with remaining cheese and cover until cheese is melted, spotty brown, and bubbly.

Sprinkle with sliced scallions and serve.

This only makes 4 large servings, so if you are feeding a larger group or want leftovers, I’d recommend doubling the recipe, it’s well worth it! Enjoy!

COOKING DIRECTIONS

In a large cast iron skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add the baby potatoes to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Saute until golden and cooked through, around 10-12 minutes, stirring regularly. Transfer potatoes to a plate and set aside.

In the same skillet with remaining tablespoon oil, brown the sliced Blue Ribbon Smoked Sausage on all sides for around 5 minutes over medium heat. Add garlic, onion and red bell pepper and season with red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened. Deglaze with 1/4 cup stock, stir in the hot sauce and stir to coat the sausage and veggies.

Add the potatoes back to the skillet and mix everything together to reheat potatoes. Adjust seasoning, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with parmesan. Enjoy!

Note: You can pre-cook potatoes in boiling salted water for 8 minutes, this will quicken cooking time in the skillet and ensure an even golden crust on the potatoes.

COOKING DIRECTIONS

In large bowl, combine all ingredients; mix well. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour to marinate.

To serve, alternately thread cauliflower, cucumber, bell pepper and the Blue Ribbon Smoked Sausage onto eight 8-inch skewers. Discard remaining dressing.

Bring to a boil and add tortellini. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tortellini is cooked and flavors start to meld, 18 to 20 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk all marinade ingredients until smooth. Pour into bag with veggie/sausage mixture, seal bag, and turn several times to coat veggies. Refrigerate veggies 1-2 hours.

Once veggies have marinated, remove from the bag and discard the marinade. Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Place nonstick tin foil on heated grill and evenly spread veggie/sausage on top.

Toss and stir veggies and sausage occasionally on grill until veggies are tender and browned, about 10 minutes. Serve veggies and sausage warm from the grill!

To prepare creole seasoning, combine 2 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon cayenne and next 5 ingredients, stirring until well-blended.

To prepare dressing, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the Blue Ribbon Smoked Sausage. Cook, stirring as needed until browned, about 3 minutes.

Add the crumbled corn bread to a large bowl. Stir in the sausage mixture, 1 tablespoon creole seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon cayenne and chicken broth. Mix thoroughly.

Brush a 12-in. skillet or casserole dish with some of the melted butter. Drizzle the remaining butter over the corn bread mixture and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to the skillet and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to keep it from sticking, every 20 minutes, until browned on top. Garnish with chopped scallions, if desired, and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
