Patty Melt

Posted by Dax Phillips on May 1st, 2012 filed in Bacon, Beef, Bread, Cheese, Delicious, Game Day, Grilling, Kids, Meat, Onions, Sandwiches

This could hands down be the best cheeseburger you might ever have. Hands down. See the patty melt, at least in my opinion, is not your standard cheeseburger. It’s an old school cheeseburger. It’s the cheeseburger that goes back to the roots of the burger when it was served on sliced bread, and not a [...]

Hot Dog with Pimento Cheese on a Pretzel Bun Recipe

The title of this recipe is loaded, and everything about it screams awesomeness. This past week I was experimenting with some hot dog creations. My son and I are the hot dog eaters in the family, and really no one else. Personally, I like a really good all-beef hot dog, and I typically pay for [...]

Mexican Beef Stew

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 16th, 2012 filed in Beef, Braising, Ethnic, Game Day, Mexican, Onions, Stews, Vegetables

I know, who posts a recipe about Mexican beef stew a day before St. Patty’s Day, and a day closer to spring? Well, I do. I post this not only because it is amazing, but more importantly that I think you should make it before the weather gets to hot. This could be your last [...]

Roasted Indian Chicken

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 12th, 2012 filed in Breakfast, Chicken, Ethnic, Onions, Vegetables

Roasting a chicken is something we pretty much do once a week in my family. There are a variety of reasons why I do this, particularly because it is really easy, and more so that it feeds and pleases everyone at the table, and more importantly, it is just comforting. But there are plenty of [...]

Beer Braised Pork Belly

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 10th, 2012 filed in Braising, Game Day, Onions, Pork, Sandwiches, Vegetables

As you might know by now, I am a big fan of bacon, especially making my own. There is real satisfaction when calling in my order for a twelve pound pork belly from the butcher. There are, however more things I make besides bacon. Some of these include crispy pork belly, porchetta, and a variety [...]

The Denver Sandwich

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 25th, 2012 filed in Breakfast, Cheese, Kids, Onions, Sandwiches, Vegetables

Many years ago I thought I had the opportunity of a lifetime. I had the chance to take a job at Level 3 Communications. I had a chance to work in Denver, Colorado, and as I was only there once before on a mountain biking trip with some high school friends, Denver was one of [...]

Paella

It was not long ago when I purchased my first paella pan. It was one of those purchases I was truly excited about. See, I had a plan, as usual, with that pan. When it arrived at the house, my wife had said something like ‘what the heck is that?’, and my response with my [...]

Chorizo and Bean Soup

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 6th, 2012 filed in Game Day, Onions, Pork, Sides, Soup, Vegetables

Beans. You either love them or hate them. There are those folks that are torn in the middle, but those are far and few. I have always loved beans, whether they were the classic baked beans, or the authentic refried beans. Red, brown, black, green, or white. It does not matter the color, in my [...]

Slow Cooker Chicken Paprikash

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 2nd, 2012 filed in Chicken, Ethnic, Kids, Onions, Sauce, Stews

Chicken paprikash is one of those dishes that is nothing but comforting. Don’t let the word paprikash intimidate you by any means. It basically translates to paprika, so when you are done slow cooking this dish, you end up with Hungarian paprika chicken. I have been wanting to make this dish for quiet some time [...]

New England Clam Chowder Style Po-Boy

Recipe for New England Clam Chowder Po-boy

For the last week or so I have been thinking about New England clam chowder. I could not get my mind off of it, but then as I was flipping channels late one night, I came across a cooking show that had featured a place called The Clam Shack. This place had people lined up [...]

Beef Massaman Curry

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 26th, 2012 filed in Beef, Ethnic, Meat, Onions, Rice, Sauce, Soup, Stews, Thai, Vegetables

Approximately once a month, if not more, my wife and I get a real craving for a curry and coconut mixture, typically with a bit of chicken, peas, and other vegetables that is served over rice. It is a dish, especially this time of year, that is extremely comforting. Some of my favorite Thai curry [...]

Pozole Rojo

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 15th, 2012 filed in Delicious, Ethnic, Game Day, Mexican, Onions, Pork, Soup, Stews

It’s soup season, and to boot, it’s comfort food season, at least in Wisconsin. See, it is pretty darn cold here right now, and when we come inside the house after hours of sledding outdoors, or even just getting home from work, we want, or better yet, we need something to warm our bodies. This [...]

Garlic Potato Chip Stacked Bacon Burger

Posted by Dax Phillips on December 13th, 2011 filed in Bacon, Beef, Cheese, Delicious, Game Day, Grilling, Kids, Onions, Sandwiches

Garlic Potato Chip Stacked Cheeseburger Recipe

The title of this recipe is a mouthful, literally, and boy was it ever delicious. I came up with this idea for a burger for a couple of reasons. One, and probably most importantly, is that my oldest kid has some interesting eating habits. For instance whenever I order out sandwiches from Jimmy John’s, he [...]

Torta Ahogada

Posted by Dax Phillips on November 29th, 2011 filed in Bread, Ethnic, Game Day, Kids, Mexican, Onions, Pork, Sandwiches, Sauce

Torta what? If you have never had a Mexican torta, you should seek out a local Mexican restaurant, an authentic one, and try one of their tortas. They are Mexican sandwiches that can be made in a variety of different ways. One of my favorites, is one loaded with avocado, refried beans, lettuce, and carnitas. However, [...]

Caramelized Onion and Maple Bacon Pizza

Posted by Dax Phillips on November 25th, 2011 filed in Appetizers, Bacon, Cheese, dough, Game Day, Kids, Onions, Pizza, Sauce

I don’t know what I have been loving more lately. Could it be the smell and taste of caramelized onions, or the process of making homemade bacon? Whatever the answer is to that question remains a mystery in my house, but I can tell you that I simply love caramelized onions, and bacon. I did not [...]
