Title: Tell me what you have tried Gunpowder on
Post by: TMB on February 28, 2011, 07:00:48 PM
OK folks, since I started sending out Gunpowder I have been told some unique uses for this stuff.

Tenpoint5 told me one today I never thought of. 

Now y'all tell me what you have tried it on.....   So far I have used it for steaks, burgers, Texas toast and even cheese toast.  So give up your cooks and lets see what you use it for.

Rib-Eyes, T-Bones, Hamburgers, Potatoes, Chicken, Beef Ribs and Snack Sticks.

I saved the Beef Ribs and Snack Sticks for last because they were done in the Bradley but the others were cooked on my SRG.

Add tuna straight out of the can to the list.  Really good.  Also tried tuna out of the can with Gunpowder/Head Country mixed 50/50.  WOW!  That is REALLY good.

My next brisket will be rubbed with that 50/50 mix.

I put a bag full under a stump and lit the fuse.......No wait a minute that was stumping powder. Never mind.  ;D ;D  I think I am going to have to find out how to make this as it seems real popular.

This morning I decided to make up a small batch of country sausage or pan sausage as it is sometimes called. Put some GP in it and it was really good, will be doing this again.

Secret Receipt:
1-1/2 lbs ground pork
1/2 heaping teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of sage
1/2 teaspoon of ground chipotle pepper (optional but I like it)
1/2 heaping teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of gun powder seasoning
That's it, mix it all together, make patties and fry up.

Those frozen Italian Seasoned Meatballs from Costco, dusted with Gunpowder and smoked while defrosting and browning are unbelievable in spaghetti. Some say that cooked foods will not accept any smoke flavor, but these really do. Like any spaghetti the flavor is more enhanced after a day or two. The Gunpowder seemed to help enhance the smoke flavor into the sauce somehow.

Doing a traditional boil of brats with beer and onion before grilling, try a couple of tbs of Gunpowder in the boil. The flavor came through on the brats as well as the onions.

Cut sweet potatoes into wedges, tossed in olive oil, liberally sprinkled with GP and into the oven at 400 for about 40 minutes.  Good.

Arnie - Do these crisp up like a russet would? I may have to give this a try.

Baby red taters quartered a tossed around in a plastic bag of melted butter, GP, Garlic Powder and Parmesan. Into the BE and into my pie hole! Good eats! Next is Gunpowder Meatloaf.

No.  I've never been able to get them to really crisp up no matter how I've done 'em.

Breakfast!

A crispy hard roll out of the oven (top not shown), two slices of muenster cheese, a load of store-bought hickory smoked bacon and scrambled eggs topped with Gunpowder and Soileau's.

What is Soileau's? I see they make some kind of sauce as well as this spice. Is it a rub, cajun spice blend? Spicy?  ???
I'll bet that was a great sandwich.  :)

I guess I'd call it a Cajun spice blend.  I like it better than GP (here's where I duck  ;D).  It contains no MSG or sugar and the first-listed ingredient is cayenne; yeah, it's spicy.

It's a small family operation (Avery Soileau, wife and kids) and is available only in IL.
