Fox Bros Bar B Q Smoked Bologna And Pimiento Cheese Sandwich Aka The Carl Ruiz Food

CARL JOHN'S FRIED BOLOGNA SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a cast-iron skillet set over medium-high heat, melt the butter and then add the bologna. Fry until the bologna turns dark golden brown and then flip and fry the other side, about 2 minutes per side. Top each slice of bologna with 2 slices of cheese and let melt.
• Assemble the sandwiches by spreading mayonnaise on 4 slices of the bread and mustard on the remaining 4 slices. Place a slice of cheese-covered fried bologna on a slice of bread topped with mayonnaise, then layer on a piece lettuce and tomato. Top with a slice of bread topped with mustard. Repeat with the remaining slices of fried bologna. Slice each sandwich in half and serve.

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!

• 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.
