This is wild. I was extremely skeptical with videos I’ve seen with rinsing cheese. The whole idea does make sense but does it actually work. Yeah.. it works. Store bought shredded cheese rinsed in cold water to remove the anti caking agents that prevent the cheese from sticking. Do you do this? Charbroil

I’ve seen people wash cheese before. They buy preshredded cheese and all the cheese is coated with anti caking agents to prevent sticking. I thought ain’t no way it works. Sure enough…it works. Interesting idea. Charbroil

These party ribs were made for game day! Instead of smoking the ribs as a full rack, I cut them individually so they cooked faster and developed even more smoky flavor.

Comment RECIPE and I’ll send it right over, or check out the first comment below for the recipe.

Once the ribs reached about 170°F, I added them to an uncovered pan with BBQ sauce, hot pepper jelly, butter, jalapeño juice, and pickled jalapeños. That sauce reduced into a sticky sweet-and-spicy glaze while the ribs finished cooking.

Tender ribs in about 3 hours—and you can eat them with one hand. That’s a tailgate win! Pit Boss Grills

I cut St. Louis-style ribs into individual pieces, seasoned them with ā€˜Que That, and smoked them until they developed great color. Then they went into an uncovered pan with BBQ sauce, hot pepper jelly, butter, jalapeƱo juice, and pickled jalapeƱos.

Sweet, smoky, sticky, and tender—with just enough heat to keep you coming back for another one. Best of all, they’re ready in about 3 hours! Pit Boss Grills

What happens when you combine a crispy smash burger with a jalapeƱo popper? You get one of the best burgers we’ve made on the griddle!

These patties are smashed directly into bacon, thinly sliced onions, and fresh jalapeƱos to build an incredible crust. Then we add a creamy topping made with cream cheese, cheddar, and sautƩed jalapeƱos before stacking everything double on a toasted brioche bun.

Creamy, cheesy, smoky, and just spicy enough—this one checks every box! Blackstone Products

JalapeƱo poppers šŸ¤ smash burgers… This is the burger mashup you didn’t know you needed!

We smashed 80/20 beef into crispy bacon, thinly sliced onions, and fresh jalapeƱos, then topped each patty with a creamy mixture of cream cheese, cheddar, and sautĆ©ed jalapeƱos. Stack ’em double on a toasted brioche bun, and you’ve got one seriously flavor-packed burger!

Just tender, smoky spare ribs with a beautiful bark!

I started with a mustard binder, seasoned them generously with QUE THAT, and smoked them over Smokin' Pecan pellets at 275°F until they were done.

The American-made Lone Star Grillz pellet smoker made the entire cook easy and turned out some fantastic BBQ. I like my ribs unwrapped. šŸ”„

Are you team sauced or team naked ribs?
