Since social distancing started, I’ve taken it upon myself to learn different skills…
Making bread, cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls…
Yes. Cooking basically.
Did I like to cook & did I cook before? Yes. But I had never done much in depth cooking like with yeast and such…
I also got into learning about smoking foods on the pellet grill.
I had done a couple racks of ribs before…
{BUT}
Now it was time to get serious…
{SO}
I did a pork butt…
low and slow folks– rule of thumb.
It came off with a nice bark & shredded easily into a couple of quart sized bags, but after eating on it 2 days we needed something new to do with it.
So when I mentioned my go-to “hey let’s make nachos” pitch, my husband said, “hey why don’t we put them on the grill”
{Oh snap yes}
So, I doctored up a sheet pan with…
-regular tortilla chips
-blue corn tortilla chips
-lots of shredded cheese
-drizzled bbq sauce
-pulled pork
-more cheese
-more sauce
-and some french onions
put it all on the grill for about 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees…
It came off melty & bubbly & had that smokey flavor.
Let’s just say, I may not ever do nachos in the oven or microwave again.
