Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. ground beef or 1 lb. ground beef and 1 lb. pork sausage
• 1 egg
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• ½ cup apple sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheese (Mozzarella or Swiss)
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 pkg dry onion soup mix
• ½ tablespoon Bad Byron’s Butt Rub®

Directions:

In a bowl, mix all ingredients together. When ingredients are mixed together, make into patties approximately 4 inches across and approximately ¾ of an inch thick. NOTE: 2 lbs. should make approximately 8 burgers.

Prepare Grill:

Preheat grill to around 300 degrees. When ready to cook, spray or brush grill grate with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

Grilling:

Use ½ tablespoon of Bad Byron’s Butt Rub® to 1½ cup of butter or margarine. Mix and melt in the microwave, stove top, or grill. (Butter or margarine mix is used for basting the meat loaf burgers and buns).

Place burgers on a plate and brush one side of the meat loaf burgers lightly with the melted butter or margarine mix.

Arrange the meat loaf burgers buttered side down on hot grate and brush the other side of the meat loaf burgers lightly with melted butter or margarine mix. Grill until bottoms are nicely browned, approximately 4-5 minutes.

Using a spatula, turn the meat loaf burgers over and baste with butter or margarine mix and grill until they are browned and cook to taste, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Buns:

Using Ciabatta bread or Texas Garlic Toast (my two favorite choices) brush butter or margarine mix on top side of bread, grill until brown, then flip and brush bottom side of bread with butter or margarine mix, grill until brown. Do this during the last two minutes the meat loaf burgers are cooking. Set out toppings (any condiments will work on a meat loaf burger). Put burgers on toasted buns and serve.

Sauce: (optional)

I use the microwave for this.

• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1/3 cup prepared mustard
• ¼ cup brown sugar

Heat the ingredients at low heat so you will not burn the sauce. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Put meat loaf burger on bun and add sauce. Enjoy.

Easy, delicious and impressive. I use thighs and legs because I prefer the flavor of the dark meat. This also works very well with pork chops. Serves four.

• 2 Tbs. olive oil
• 6 thighs and legs or a chicken, cut into 6 pieces (3-1/2 to 4 lb.)
• Bad Byron’s Butt Rub®
• Black pepper
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup homemade or low-salt canned chicken stock
• 2 Tbs. butter
• 2 sprigs thyme

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season the chicken liberally with Butt Rub® and black pepper and sear it in the skillet on the skin side to brown it and to render the fat from the skin, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook on the bone side for about 5 minutes. Remove and reserve the chicken.

Pour off all but 2 Tbs. of the fat from the pan. Add the onion, sauté until the onion is well-clarified, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and chicken stock to the pan and stir to deglaze the pan. Put the chicken back into the pan along with the thyme. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer the chicken in the sauce until cooked through, 35 – 45 minutes.

Remove the chicken and thyme sprigs from the pan, turn the heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the volume of liquid by half, about 5 minutes (or 6 to 7 minutes if you want a thicker sauce). Add the butter, stir to combine, and remove the pan from the heat. Serve the chicken over egg noodles or rice; taste and season the sauce with salt and pepper if necessary and spoon it over all.

With the skin side of the filet down, coat the fish with a little olive oil, butter, Butt Rub® and top with grated parmesan cheese.  Place the fish on tin foil and grill for about 10-15 minutes until a slight crust builds up on the edges.  Or you can broil the fish in the oven for about the same amount of time.

Take 2 whole chickens, remove the gizzards and stuff from the inside. Take a large trashbag, put chickens inside, pour 4 cans of your favorite beer in with them. Let them soak for 2 hours, refrigerated. Do not drink the beer afterwards. Take the chickens out, rub generously with Butt Rub®, refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Peel 2 large Vidalia onions, shove inside each chicken, along with 2 cloves of minced garlic. Get one of those King Cookers ( or similar) fill with peanut oil, bring to 275 degrees, lower chickens inside and let em’ fry for about 35 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1 can of Choplets
• 1 serving of Olive Oil
• 1 can of low carb Alfredo Sauce
• 1 cup of Sharp Shredded Cheese
• 1 jar of Butt Rub® BBQ Seasoning

Directions:

Fry the choplets (sprinkling them with Butt Rub® ) in olive oil about 2 minutes on each side over a medium heat, then place them in a baking pan. Sprinkle cheese over the choplets and pour the alfredo sauce over the entire surface of the choplets and cheese. Bake the entire dish at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. If you want a nice touch, sprinkle parsley or a little more cheese on the top – or get wild and use both!

Ingredients:

• 3 cups – Oatmeal
• 3 cups – Bread Crumbs
• 3 cups – Stove Top Stuffing
• 3 cups – Special K cereal (really!)
• 2-3 cups – Sharp Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
• 2 packages Dry Lipton Onion Soup
• 3 cups of Water
• 6 Egg Beaters (or 4 eggs)
• 3-5 Tbsp of Butt Rub® BBQ Seasoning

Directions:

Mix everything very well together and let stand covered for 20-30 minutes so everything is moistened. If you need additional water, add another 1/2 cup and mix again. Form into meatballs and fry in olive oil in a pan. Put into a baking dish and add BBQ sauce. Note: You can also add Mushroom soup and 1/2 can of milk so the mushroom soup is more like a gravy for a Swedish Meatball Style instead of BBQ Sauce.

Ingredients:

• 2 lb hamburger meat; ½ lb ground pork
• 1 tsp Bad Byron’s Butt Rub®
• 1 medium sweet onion (diced)
• Your favorite BBQ Sauce – I like Texas Rib Rangers (mild or spicy)

Directions:

Mix beef and pork together. In a medium hot pan, sauté onions. Add meat mixture, brown and drain off fat. Add Butt Rub® ( 1 tsp or to taste). Add approximately one 16 oz bottle of your favorite BBQ Sauce. You can add more than a bottle if you want it really sloppy!

Note:

Sloppy joes actually get better after refrigeration and reheating.

Everyone that has tried it says it’s the best tasting steamed shrimp they have ever had.

For Commercial Steamers:

Lay down a layer of thawed shrimp in steam pan, sprinkle a moderate amount of Butt Rub® on shrimp.  (Adjust the amount of Butt Rub® for your personal taste or that of your customer).  Small to medium in shell shrimp – 3 minutes.  Large in shell shrimp – 4 minutes.  You can also do individual frozen shrimp – just add 1 minute to steam time.

They hold well in a plastic bag.  The flavor will permeate even more in the bag.  This is great for carryout orders.  Serve with butter on the side.  These shrimp can also be served cold.  You can also use the steamer to do Butt Rub® Fish Fillet (try Grouper).  Butt Rub® is also great on steamed crab legs.

(Chicken)

This is one of our favorite ways to barbeque chicken. It’s simple, fast, and nearly goof proof. The meat is moist and succulent. The chicken grills from the outside and is steamed from the inside with flavors infused from the onions and herbs.

Ingredients:

Directions:

Clean the chicken inside and out. Pat dry. Coat the outside of the chicken with Bad Byron’s Butt Rub®.

Stuff the cavity with the onions, garlic and herbs.

Using a can opener (the pointy kind) make about five openings in the top of the can of beer. Pour out half of the beer (If you
like beer-drink it). Add the hot sauce to the beer can.

Carefully place the chicken (this is the tricky part) open end first over the beer can so that the chicken sits upright on the can.

Place the beer can and chicken assembly on the grill and cook with the lid closed until done.

(Contribution of Robert Conners, Orlando FL)

Rob says: “In response to your recipe request my recipe is simply Butt Rub seasoned grilled steak. I really don’t have a recipe as much as a technique that you may share.”

To begin with, you do not have to pay for an expensive cut of beef to have a steak dinner that tastes like a million. My favorite cut, which is very reasonable and VERY TASTY is referred to as a Chuck Eye Steak. If you find a good cut of it, it will be hard to distinguish it from a Rib Eye in appearance or flavor.

Now for the technique. When I am grilling pork chops or steaks my preferred method is to grill from the frozen state. As soon as I return from shopping I season generously with Butt Rub and freeze before grilling. The result is the steaks get to take-on the Butt Rub flavors and the grilling process produces a steak that is grilled well and very flavorful on the outside, but remains medium to medium rare or rare & juicy on the inside.

To go with, toss some fresh mushrooms, onions, peppers, etc. in a little olive oil and Butt Rub, skewer them, grill them and ENJOY!

(Contribution John Jacob, Santa Rosa Beach FL)

Ingredients:

• Fresh Salmon fillet with skin removed
• Butt Rub® Seasoning
• Molasses
• Crushed garlic cloves
• Balsamic Vinegar

Directions:

Apply a liberal coating of Butt Rub® on both sides. Let it sit while you prepare the glaze.

Molasses Glaze: In a sauce pan combine molasses, a couple of cloves of crushed garlic and balsamic vinegar to taste. Be careful not to overpower with the vinegar. Also if you have a strong molasses, you can add a small amount of good (grade B) maple syrup.

Let this mixture simmer for a few minutes.

In a 450-475° oven, roast the salmon fillet on a sheet pan with the molasses mixture on top for about 10-15 minutes.

Rick says he only shares this recipe with a few quality people, so he thought it was time to share it with his good buddy Bad Byron and his friends. He calls this the “GOOP” concoction.

You will need:

• 1 6-8 lb pork loin
• 1 cup Wesson oil
• 3/4 cup Worcestershire
• 4 tablespoons Butt Rub seasoning
• 3 tablespoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Use mesquite chips on the coals (IMPORTANT)

I like to butter-fly the loin to reduce cooking time. Cook over medium grill (about 310 degrees)

Continue to baste pork while cooking over grill. Don’t let the meat dry out. As you baste continue to sprinkle a little extra Butt Rub on the meat (just a little at a time).

Use all the “GOOP” concoction when you baste–don’t leave any in the bowl. As you get to the bottom of the bowl you will notice good spices …keep spreading this on the meat, it will form a nice spice crust.

As the meat reaches 170 degrees internal, pull from the grill and let the meat rest for a couple of minutes.

Slice into bite size pieces and share with only the closet of friends.

(Contribution of Rick Ruark)
Rick says this is a simple recipe that is awesome at his deer camp.

Take a good size baking potato (also good on sweet potatoes) and slice in about 1/2 inch wide pieces, keeping the shape of the potato.

At this point you will want to transfer the whole potato onto a piece of tin foil.

Now, take an onion and slice it into about 1/4 inch wide pieces.

Here comes the rocket science part of it. Place the onion slices between the potato slices.

After you finally get this done, put several large pats of butter on top so when it melts it will get all into it.

Sprinkle GENEROUSLY with Butt Rub.

Wrap the potato with the tin foil and put onto a hot grill (about 375 degrees). Cook until tender.

Now stand away from the grill and let your friends get to it. I promise you, it is the best potatoes we have around our camp.

If you want to get fancy, cook up some bacon and slice into small pieces to put on the potato after you pull it from the fire (you knew I would add meat in here somewhere).

Even if you don’t think you like catfish, you will enjoy this.

Catfish:

• Squeeze a small amount of lemon juice on the fillets and season lightly to moderate with Butt Rub®
• Lightly coat melted butter or olive oil on each catfish fillet
• Grill at a high temperature approximately 4-5 minutes per side

Caramelized Corn:

Butter, as needed Corn, cut from 8 ears 1 onion, small diced 5 cloves garlic 1 roasted bell pepper, small dice

½ bunch green onions, minced Butt Rub® to taste Brown sugar, as needed Chicken stock, 1 cup Cream, ½ cup

Directions:

1. Sauté corn in butter until it begins to brown.
2. Add diced onion and continue to cook until onions begin to caramelize.
3. Add garlic, brown sugar (approximately 1 Tablespoon), Butt Rub® (approximately 1 teaspoon). Stir and sweat for about half a minute, then add chicken stock.
4. Cover and let simmer, stirring periodically for approximately 25 minutes.
5. Remove cover. Add cream. Allow to reduce at low heat until a nice creamy consistency is achieved. Finish with roasted pepper and minced green onion.

Byron uses this in competition for whole birds.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup morton’s kosher salt
• ½ cup turbinado sugar
• 1/3 cup Butt Rub® seasoning
• juice from 2 lemons
• 1 gallon water

Directions:

Agitate the brine with a wire whisk until the salt and sugar dissolve. You can also heat up the brine to help this along.

Place the poultry in a large heavy zip top bag (Can be any thing from Cornish hens to turkey, whole or pieces)

Cover meat with (cool) brine and store refrigerated for 1 hour per pound of meat.

Rinse with cool water and pat dry.

Apply olive oil and a light dusting of butt rub and you are ready to cook.

Unbelievably simple and dynamite tasting.  This how I sample people at trade shows and other promotions.

Season chicken wings with Butt Rub® – (No oil, no marinade or any other ingredients)

Grill on a medium high grill until well browned on each side.

Ribs are a tough cut of meat. A common mistake is cooking at too high a temperature, as in grilling. Slow it down and cook ribs indirectly at approximately 225°.

But first, learn to remove the membrane on the back side of the ribs. You can lift it up with a metal skewer. Get a grip and then pull it off. This is to allow seasoning to penetrate both sides of the rack and will also help the fat render off from the ribs.

We season every rib with a moderate application of Butt Rub®. Season prior to placing on the grill. Keep temperature low as mentioned and after the 1st hour mist the ribs lightly with apple or pineapple juice. Baby backs will reach ideal tenderness in approximately 4 1/2 hours and spareribs will need approximately 1 hour more. You may choose to “finish” the ribs with applying a sauce or glaze, the final 15-20 minutes of cooking, although these ribs will be delicious without a sauce.

In the Pee Dee area of South Carolina, a catfish stew ranks highly with fine dining. The locals have great recipes, but innovations are welcome from any and all. This is my recipe for catfish stew using Jubilee® Seafood Seasoning.

Select 3 to 3 1/2pounds of catfish filets. Use Jubilee® seasoning to rub the filets and then wrap the fish snugly in plastic. Refrigerate overnight.

The following day, fry 4-6 pieces of bacon or fatback. Then sauté 1 to 1 1/2 cups of red, yellow, and green bell pepper with 1 to 1 1/2 cups of chopped red onions in the bacon drippings. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.

To the sautéed vegetables, add 2 cans of stewed tomatoes, one can of condensed tomato soup, and a one pound package of frozen okra. Season with Tabasco to taste. (You may wish to sauté some jalapeño peppers with the bell peppers; if so, omit the Tabasco). Depending on the liquid in the tomatoes, you may wish to add water. The desired consistency of the finished fish stew is similar to spaghetti sauce.

Add the uncooked fish to the soup (stew) and cook slowly for about one hour. If you wish to dress up the recipe, add uncooked shrimp, canned clams, or scallops. Here in SC we want the fish only.

Meanwhile, prepare a large pot of white rice. We prefer long grain rice, but use whatever you like. I once used Uncle Ben’s Tomato Basil with good results.

Serve the reduced stew ladled over rice with hushpuppies, garlic bread, or even regular sliced bread. Onion rings, french fries, or fried sweet potatoes also go well with fish stew. Some folks like cole slaw served on the side. We like it hot and spicy, but you can adjust this according to your taste. This is a great cold night dish, particularly for a group of men who’ve had a few cocktails.
