Fan-Tastic

I've got my mom, I've got Georgia football, and fried food

Today, Jamie and I are tailgating with some of our favorite recipes, y'all

like jalapeno bottle caps with a blue cheese dip. These are incredible, y'all. You must try them

Next, Jamie shows off his touchdown shuffle for our barbecue chicken in cornbread cups

And then, your guests are sure to cheer for these, y'all. Yay

Homemade mini corn dogs. Finally, we're going along with a double fudge bread pudding with a chocolate whipped topping

Awesome, awesome. Look at us. Georgia. Georgia colors. I guess I'm the dog, aren't I

Ruff, ruff. Go dogs. We're bringing you awesome food today. Can't wait to get started

The first thing we're going to do is one of my favorite finger foods. Barbecue chicken in a cornbread cup

We're going to start with cornbread mix. It's the easiest thing in the world. I got two boxes of seven ounce cornbread mix right here

Mom, will you measure me out? Sweet cornbread. How about a cup of milk, Mom

I'm so going to behave. I wouldn't bet on that. One cup of milk, Mom

I got two eggs that I'm going in here. Okay, okay. I'm even going to get down and check it

One cup of milk. Thanks, Mom. This is easy and so good

I'm just going to beat this up. I don't want any lumps in this. Now, I've got our mini muffin tin is what I'm using today

I love mini muffin tins. We do a lot of things. You want me to spray it? Please, Mom, spray

Okay, pass it, please. I love my time in the kitchen with you, son

We always have fun. Yes, we do. Football season is my favorite time of the year

I love college football. Bobby and I go up to Athens and spend a lot of time

We love our bulldogs, and it's just good fun. I'm going to pour our mix into our pan here

I'm going to pour this in here, y'all, just because it's easier. I'm going to put these in the oven at 400 for about 10 to 12 minutes

They won't take too long. Oh, so we're not going to put the chicken in them yet. No, ma'am. I'm going to show you what we're going to do

The next thing we're going to do, Mom, is call bottle caps. and we're going to be serving it with a blue cheese dip

You don't know how to look at it, but this is going to be our bottle cap, just a traditional green store jalapeno

But first what I'm going to do is put our dry ingredients together. I've got three cups of flour going in here

Mom, if you would, get started on our green onions, please. Yes, sir. We want some green and some white

Yes, sir. About a half a cup, your recipe says. About a half a cup for our dipping sauce

Now, I've got half a cup of our cornmeal mix that's going in here. Got one teaspoon of pepper, one teaspoon of salt

Uh-huh. All I need is a cup of this that we're going to work with

You can throw this in your freezer, y'all. It freezes beautifully. Or in your refrigerator

Yep. And I'm going to use eight tablespoons of any kind of beer that y'all like. Uh-huh

Okay, just make sure you beat all the lumps out of that. You want this to look much like a pancake batter, y'all

and that yeast from that beer is going to do its magic with all the other ingredients

I've taken the top off of these peppers and I'm going to cut them, you know, this way, like bottle caps

But depending on how hot you like your food, you can go ahead and get rid of a lot of the seeds right there from the top

So, Mom, if you want to, put together the rest of that dip. The dip that we're doing today and, Mom, you tell them. It's so simple

I'm going to use about a half a cup of sour cream and I'm just going to eyeball this

This is an eight ounce carton. So I would use about half that carton

Then I'm going to add a fourth of a cup of mayonnaise. And I'm going to eyeball that

And just mix those together. And remember, while Jamie was working down there

I was working down here on the green onions. So I'm just going to put that in there

I'm going to use a teaspoon of salt and about a half a teaspoon of black pepper

And now the last ingredient to go in is my half a cup of crumbled blue cheese

Ooh, Jamie, look, son. Did it turn out? Yes. This is going to be a wonderful dip

Now, I think that... Whoa, get back in there, you old blue cheese devil, you

And just that easy, I've got a wonderful blue cheese dressing dip made

Now, Mom, I've got all this down in our beer batter, and I'm going to just use my hands, the best tools that the Lord gave me

Yeah. I'm going to make sure I cover everything really well. I've got our fryer all ready

And Jamie's got our fryer set at $3.75, y'all. Just watch the popping

Would you like for me to help you drop? Yay. These are going to be delicious

And I would say that by the time they fried Jamie that a lot of that heat gonna fry out of them wouldn you think Probably so And whatever heat left if you don want it you can just cover it with blue cheese Yeah That it

All right, now I'm gonna make sure I wash my hands real good, y'all, because those peppers were hot

You know the peppers that'll light you up? I've got a pepper bush in my yard

I know you have the same one, the little purple ones. Woo-hoo! I thought, look at me

I'm growing peppers in the yard. They're going to be so good, like a banana pepper

Whoo! Listen, we were going down the walkway the other night. I know how Michael loves hot stuff, and I said

Michael, why don't you sample the peppers and see if they're hot? So he reaches down, pulls out a pepper, pops it off the stem

throws the stem away, and goes to chewing. And he's not saying anything, and I look over at him

The man is choking to death. They're so hot. And of course, here I'm..

You wet your pants laughing. Oh, I'm in the gravel. I'm in the gravel dying laughing

He's... Made my day. These look fabulous, son

Let's drain them. Okay. Look at that, son. Doesn't that look good, y'all

Mm. Do you like them? Mm-hmm. Delicious, aren't they? These aren't hot at all

This is a great treat to keep around the house. Mm. And simple, too

Fabulous. Jamie, your dip. Isn't that delicious? These are incredible, y'all. You must try them

I'm glad that I had something that you hadn't had that you liked. Oh, my goodness. When we come back, I've got another dish that Mom hasn't had yet

We're going to do barbecue chicken in our cornbread muffins. Oh, son

Coming up, just wait till you see how we're dressing up this tailgating party

Hey, Mama, we just happened to make some fancy-looking food. Then. Go corn dogs

This fun finger food gets a real high score. It's the best corn dog I've ever tasted

And later, my most divine dessert. It's chocolate heaven in a bowl, y'all

Mom's checking on her muffins and I'm chopping up some chicken here

Oh my gosh, they look beautiful, son. Awesome. Now, I think there's going to be a trick to this

I think the key is going to be mashing them down when they're warm

Yeah, you don't want to let these get cold, y'all. Get them while they're hot. Get them while they're hot and they'll move

Perfect, son. Now, here's a little tip for you. When your muffins are cooking, you can debone a rotisserie chicken that you buy at the grocery store

These are mini muffins, so I'm going to take a couple extra minutes and give this a really good chop

because our mini muffins are so small that I want it to really fit down inside of there. Yeah

Jamie, this is so cute. And look what I'm using. I'm using a cheese knife, and this just fits perfectly down in there, y'all

Now, if you don't have a tool like this, don't worry. Just use your thumb. Okay

I'm going to put our chicken in this bowl. Mom, if you want to, open that barbecue sauce

Okay, and we're just using a store-bought barbecue sauce. About a third of a cup

And you want it wet enough so that it will stay cuddled up in your corn muffin

Mm-hmm. And while you're doing that, Sonny Boy, I am going to be dicing up some sweet pickles

And we're just going to garnish the tops of our muffins. I'm going to go ahead and fill these up

I'm going to take a spoon. I'm just going to nestle this right down in the cornbread

And I'm just going to take my minced sweet pickles, and I'm just going to put a little dollop right on top

This is the perfect plate, son, for this little appetizer. Awesome

Looks really fancy. Awesome, awesome. These are beautiful. They are beautiful. Hey, Mama, we just happened to make some fancy-looking food

I know it, and it's so simple. To the Georgia Bulldogs. Go Dawgs

Or your favorite team. Dawgs. Mmm. One bite. Mmm. Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

So good. This is fantastic. So what's next? I've got another great dish today, Mom

I love corn dogs. And this is super simple. The batter that we're going to make is really easy and super versatile

You can do a lot of different things with it. It's just a half a cup of self-rising flour

Now down here, I've got a package of hot dogs. And Jamie has instructed me to cut them in thirds

Cut them in thirds. We doing small bites today Yes because it all about appetizers And I gonna have one and a half cups of cornmeal I don know if y have ever noticed that when you eat a corn dog it kind of sweet

So we're going to put three tablespoons of sugar into our batter

Now this batter is going to look a lot like the first batter we did earlier this morning, kind of like a pancake

It's got to be a little bit thicker and not so runny. Now down here, I've got our hot dogs cut in thirds

So now I'm going to toss them in some cornstarch. That cornstarch is going to help the batter stick better to the hot dogs

Yes. My liquid in this is going to be one and a quarter cup of buttermilk

I'm going to give this a turn and make sure my consistency is good. But this is going to be perfect

and then I've got some little skewers, wooden skewers, that we have soaked in water so that they won't burn

and now I'm just going to stick a stick into each of our hot dogs

I'm going to take these and knock a little bit of that corn starch off, and I'm just going to dredge it down through the batter straight into the fryer

And Jamie's got the fryer at 350 degrees. You know the corn dog started at the Texas State Fair

That's where this came up? I didn't know that. They are beautiful, beautiful

Son, I'm just going to move these around and give you room to drop in some more

Those are perfect. They're ready. Okay. All right, so I'm just going to toss those out on the platter

Look at that, y'all. Son, those are like picture perfect. Little mini corn dogs

A little in the mustard, a little in the ketchup, and a little in the mouth

Go corndogs! Ah! Mmm! Mine's hot. Jamie, this is the best corndog I've ever tasted

Yay! The best corndog I have ever tasted. Look, y'all, delicious. You know, I don't care what it is

anything you cook at the house with people you love is better than something that you go out and buy

Even from the Texas State Fair. I think he almost said he loved me

Oh, mama, don't start. You know I love you. Just like I love corn dogs. And we're going to do something else when we come back

I love double fudge bread pudding. Y'all come back. Oh, my gosh, and I do too

Coming up, we got a tempted tailgating treat. Oh, look, it's steaming hot

Hurry, mama, hurry. Okay. Later. We whip up a scrumptious dessert topping in a snap

Is that not sinful looking, y'all? Welcome back, y'all. Mama, what's better than a fudge bread pudding

A double fudge bread pudding? Double fudge bread pudding. And that's what we're going to do today

It's the fastest one in the South. We've got one and a half loaves of French bread down here that Mama's cubed up

Mama, if you want to go ahead and get to work on the rest of this. Sure thing, son

I'll just cube this up for you. Thanks, Mom. You're doing great. Okay, down here in this soft band, what I'm going to do, I've got three cups of whole milk

Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug. Three. I'm going to put my milk in here

I love bread. I love bread, too. I love bread. I love pudding

I love chocolate. I love double. I'm going to put a little bourbon in this, too, later

I've got a quarter cup of heavy whipping cream. and I've got one giant

tablespoon of vanilla. That's a lot of pudding, son. I know it

We got a big family, Mom. I've got one pound of semi-sweet chocolate

that I'm going to break up here. This is just the kind that you buy in the baking section

I'm going to put these in a separate bowl, Mom. As soon as my milk gets hot, I'm going to use our milk and heavy cream

and vanilla mixture to melt the chocolate down. Oh, gosh. Sounds delicious, son. Now, I'm going to get the other ingredients

ready for this bread pudding. And we're gonna need one cup of white sugar

three quarters of a cup of packed light brown sugar, and now I'm gonna add a fourth of a cup of cocoa powder

and one teaspoon and a half of ground cinnamon. I'm gonna add six eggs, one at a time

Okay. I need this whisk so I can whip it

Whip it good. All right, I think that's about ready, isn't it, son

You think it's hot enough to melt that chocolate? Let me stick my... Ah

Is it hot enough? I was kidding. But I do think it is hot enough. What do you think

I think so. Oh, my God. Gosh I like that I in chocolate you like that Mm I do I do We could just drink it right now

Would you like for me to get a mug? Two, please. Okay, Mom, I'm going to add this to what you've got. Okay

And I'm just going to whisk, whisk, whisk. Mm-hmm. And the last thing we've got

we're going to put a quarter cup of bourbon in here. Now, y'all don't have to put bourbon in yours if you don't want to

but bourbon really helps make that chocolate flavor just big, big, big

Now the fun part. Are we going to pour this over on that bread? The whole thing

You know what, son? We're going to have to do this very carefully

So what I'm going to do... You're going to dip? I think I'm going to start dipping

and let that bread soak up this wonderful chocolate mixture. Is that not sinful looking, y'all

We're going to put it in the refrigerator for an hour. So it's going to soak it all up

Okay, I think we're safe to pour it in. I'm just going to pat that bread

And you can see, son, I'm taking the spatula. I'm just pushing it, pushing that yummy bread

into that double chocolate bourbon mixture. And now I'm going to take our spatula

Be sure to be very quiet when you do that. Yes, yes. All righty

All right. We did it. All right, so we're going to cover it with a plastic wrap

We're going to put it in the refrigerator for one hour. Okay. It smells so good

You can't even hardly smell that bourbon in there. It's really not enough to offend anybody

Not much. Okay, I'm going to stick this down in our refrigerator

Okay. You probably need to go to the bottom rack, son. There you go, yeah

All right. This one's been sitting in there for an hour, and it is totally saturated with chocolate goodness

Yes. Now, this is going into the oven. Okay. It's going to cook at 325 for about one hour

Sounds delicious, y'all. It's going to be delicious. So it's the end of the third quarter in our fantastic show today

When you come back, we're going to do a special topping for our double chocolate fudge bread pudding

and we're going to get to eat some. Now stick around. Coming up, we got a topping for our bread pudding

that takes it into the end zone. You know what this is, Mom? There's a touchdown

Mom, you know what's better than a double fudge chocolate bread pudding? A triple fudge chocolate bread pudding

Triple fudge, yay. We're doing my favorite thing for dessert, homemade whipped topping

And I'm going to take one cup of heavy cream. You can make all flavors of whipped cream, y'all

You can put different extracts in it. And I like the formula that Jamie is using

and that's one cup of heavy cream and a quarter of a cup of powdered sugar

I'm going to get this a little stiff before I add the chocolate. Yes. Well, I was very comfortable where I was prompt, but..

Well, come on back. I got it under control. I see you do. This is good. I'm going to add my chocolate

That's my mama, y'all. Half a cup. I would slowly add that

Yum. Oh, that looks so good. Normally, I use a cocoa powder

But you know what? I love the looks of that whipped cream using that chocolate syrup, Jamie

Mm-hmm. Oh. Jamie, okay. Mm, look. Oh, look, it's steaming hot

Hurry, Mama, hurry. Okay. Okay. Great time of day. That can be yours, son

That's bigger. Thanks, Mom. Look how beautiful that is. Oh, my gosh

Whoa. Is it good? Whoa. Mmm. This is so good, y'all. It's chocolate heaven in a bowl, y'all

It's bread, and then chocolate, and then chocolate, and then chocolate. You know what this is, Mom

Fantastic. That's a touchdown. Yes. Thanks for having me on the show, Mom

We always have a good time in the kitchen. Yes, we do. We always have a good time with y'all

Thanks for tuning in. Go team. and best dishes from our team to yours

Bye, y'all. Until next time
