First Time at “Chubby Cattle” was a great experience.

We did their Gold Tier and had great quality wagyu meat, sashimi and hand rolls.

How to Make Mission BBQ Meatloaf

Step 1: Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan.

Step 2: Mix the Meatloaf Base: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, ketchup, onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until everything is just combined. Don’t overmix—this keeps the meatloaf tender.

Step 3: Shape and Bake: Transfer the meat mixture into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes.

Step 4: Prepare the Glaze: While the meatloaf is baking, mix the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.

Step 5: Add Glaze and Finish Baking: Remove the meatloaf after 45 minutes. Brush the BBQ glaze generously over the top. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 6: Rest and Slice: Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Spice up your barbecue with these Grilled Sriracha Hot Wings, featuring a perfect blend of heat and sweetness. The marinade infuses the wings with bold flavors, creating a mouthwatering dish that's sure to impress.

Ingredients: 2 lbs chicken wings. 1/2 cup Sriracha sauce. 1/4 cup soy sauce. 2 tbsp honey. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tsp ginger, grated. 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.

Instructions: To make the marinade, put honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and vegetable oil in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken wings in a large bag that can be closed again or a shallow dish. Check that the wings are coated evenly. Put the mixture in the fridge for at least an hour, but preferably overnight. Warm up the grill over medium-high heat. Take the wings out of the marinade and let the extra drip off. Add pepper and salt. Place the wings on a grill that has already been heated up. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, turning them over once or twice, until they are fully cooked and have a nice char. While the wings are on the grill, baste them with any extra marinade to make them taste even better. Move the wings to a serving platter after they are done cooking. Put chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top. Serve the spicy Sriracha hot wings hot and enjoy them!

What Makes a Good Sauce Good?

So what goes into making a good sauce?  Sauces are as different in their uses as are methods for preparing them. What I've learned from making my own initially is to understand what the sauce will be used on along with what flavor profile you want in the end. To be clear, that flavor profile will be based on what you are preparing.

Making sauces from scratch makes it easier than "customizing" store-bought sauces for just the right fit. What drives our sauces is the desire they all be unique to fulfill a specific purpose. We accomplish this by using natural ingredients only. For example, in several sauces, we make use of real fruit, and they can be a challenge to store because the fruit will continue to ripen even in closed containers.

Using natural ingredients only allows you to configure a sauce with non-conflicting ingredients. Ingredients that do not conflict with each other or food items they will be used on. Doctoring premade sauces may get you to a palatable taste but not completely what a purist would expect. In my humble opinion, additives, preservatives, and flavor enhancers added to extend the shelf life of products get in the way.

It is these enhancers that can cancel natural flavors in food because they overpower the food. While additive makers will claim you can't taste their products, what we have found is guests who do not normally use sauce on BBQ use ours.

The only question we get, regularly, is what do you do with leftover sauces? Our standard answer is to refrigerate it. The shelf life for our products when refrigerated is 4-6 weeks for sauces that do not have real fruit. It is recommended that you freeze sauces made with real fruit unless they are used within one week. Leftovers can be refrigerated below 50 degrees for up to three weeks.

The last thing I will say about making sauces is you want to cook them over low heat to prevent burning ingredients. Burning throws off the taste so be careful. Using natural ingredients increases the price of our products but not to the point you would not regret buying them. You can review our sauces and hopefully try a bottle at www.cookinwitgus.com. Thank you for reading.
