Big Fat Daddy's end of season. |
Big Fat Daddy's serving traditional Fair food! |
Main Entrees:
1. Angus Burgers: Instead of going with regular old ground beef, find some great quality Angus and pat those patties thick. Sprinkle yoru favorite seasoning on them and top them with barbecue sauce, fried onions and peppers for a texas taste! Buy potato rolls or small size buns, to make the burgers appear even larger than life!
2. Buffalo or Bison Sliders: Bison is much more expensive but yield is pretty true to size. Grill up some Bison mini sliders and have your friends wanting more. I love to sprinkle real crumbled blue cheese on top and throw a dash of hot sauce on for a differnet taste. I use small slider buns for these.
3. Pork BBQ: Prepare this your favorite way using whatever cut you desire. Add your own touch by adding your favorite sauce! This is quick and easy to reheat for the party, and if you have leftovers great to take to work the next day! Small to medium sandwich rolls will help you guests sample a bit of everything!
4. Beef BBQ: A different version of a tradional dish, try making your favorite pork bbq recipe but by using beef. If you don't have time to grill or broil, you can simmer down a chunk of top round or rump roast to pull for this! Serve with small to medium rolls so your guests may not fill up on just one thing!
5. Dinner Roll Sausages: We love getting Hatfield's rope sausage and pre cutting them into portions, and tossing in fresh grilled onions and peppers. We slice these in 3" strips diagonally so they are just about long enough to hang off of a dinner roll. Why fill up on steak or sausage rolls when you can use dinner rolls and get a great taste of sausage without all that bread? Small enough to eat a few and big enough to satisfy your craving for sausage!
