Fox Bros Bar B Q Smoked Pork Jalapeno Poppers Recipes

FOX BROS. BAR-B-Q BRISKET CHILI

Steps:

• In a medium heavy-bottomed pot set over medium heat, add the onions, jalapenos, garlic, butter, oil, salt and pepper. Sweat the vegetables until tender. Add the stock, tomatoes, chili powder, adobo sauce, salt, tomato paste, chipotle powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, sugar and cumin. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add the brisket to the chili. In a small bowl, whisk the maseca into 1 cup warm water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the chili. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often to avoid letting the meat settle on the bottom.
• Cut open a bag of chips from the top or side, ladle in some chili over the chips. Repeat for the remaining bags of chips and chili. Top with some Cheddar, red onions, some jalapenos for more heat and maybe even a dollop of sour cream! Mix it up and eat!

FOX BROS. BAR-B-Q BRISKET CHILI

Steps:

• Add the olive oil, butter, onion, jalapenos, garlic, 1/2 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to a medium heavy-bottomed pot. Sweat over medium-low heat until tender, then stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef stock, chili powder, adobo sauce, chipotle powder, garlic and onion powders, sugar, cumin, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1/2 tablespoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the chopped Brisket.

• Preheat a smoker to 225 degrees F. using your preferred heating method. Apply wood chips or chunks to allow for smoke.
• Mix pepper and salt together in a bowl to make seasoning rub. Apply rub to brisket.
• Place brisket on smoker. Let smoke, adding wood chips as necessary to supply ample smoke, until brisket reaches 170 degrees F, 4 to 7 hours. Wrap in butcher paper and put back on smoker. Continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F. Let rest, still wrapped, for 2 hours.
• Unwrap and slice against the grain.

FOX BROS. BAR-B-Q SMOKED BOLOGNA AND PIMIENTO CHEESE SANDWICH AKA "THE CARL RUIZ"

Steps:

• For the pimiento cheese: Add the cheeses and pimientos to a mixing bowl, then add the mayo and mix together. Add the seasoning and mix in. Cover and chill until cold, 1 hour.
• Form mixture into 12 pimiento cheese patties around the same diameter as the bologna and about 1/4-inch-thick. Set aside.
• For the smoked bologna sandwich: Slice the bologna chub into twenty-four 4-ounce, 1/2-inch-thick slabs. Sear off the bologna on a hot flat top or in a hot cast-iron skillet, about 3 minutes. Flip and top each with a pimiento cheese slice. Cook until melted, then stack half the bologna slices with a second slice, with pimiento cheese slices on top. Butter the Texas toast and cook on hot flat-top or in the hot cast-iron skillet until browned.
• Spread liberal barbecue sauce and mustard on the Texas toast. Place pickles on bottom toasts. Place the bologna slices on top of the pickles. Add heaping handfuls of corn chips on top of the melted pimiento cheese and place toasts on top to close sandwiches.

PORK-BELLIED POPPERS

Steps:

• Slice each jalapeno open lengthwise, then make a small crosswise cut at the stem end to form a T. Gently open the jalapenos and scrape out the seeds and membranes with a knife. Put the jalapenos, milk and 2 cups water in a large bowl and soak 15 minutes, stirring once or twice.
• Meanwhile, mix the cheddar, cream cheese, pulled pork and chili powder in a bowl with your hands until combined. Drain the jalapenos and pat them dry. Stuff 1 to 2 tablespoons cheese filling into each pepper.
• Put the flour in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in another dish. Put the breadcrumbs in a third dish. One at a time, hold the peppers by the stems and dredge in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip off, and roll in the breadcrumbs; dip in the eggs again and reroll in breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate until the coating sets, about 20 minutes.
• Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 300 degrees F. Fry the jalapenos in batches, turning, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and serve with barbecue sauce.
