Cheese Bombers are the BOMB(pun intended). What are they? Grands, Flaky Layers, Biscuits, cut into quarters, flattened and filled with Mozzarella Cheese, then wrapped with Bacon and fried. The only thing that would make these better, in my opinion, is some chopped Jalapeno Peppers in the mix. Maybe Pepper Jack Cheese, instead of Mozzarella, would be the way to go. Either way, it would give Jalapeno Poppers a run for their money because they’re that good.
Frying Cheese Bombers
One of the most common questions I get about this recipe is, “Can these be baked instead?” The answer is no. You run the risk of burning the biscuits or under cooking the bacon. To insure that both cook evenly, they need to be submerged in a deep fry. Do this and your Cheese Bombers will turn out perfect, every time.
Cheese Bombers Ingredients:
2 cans Grands flaky Biscuits cut into fours
1 lbs Mozzarella Cheese Squares 3/4 to 1 inch thick
1 pkg Bacon slices cut in half
Oil for Frying
Fry at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Be sure to watch the short video tutorial and I’ll show you exactly how to make these Cheese Bombers.
Everyone loves Homemade Salsa. Without a doubt, it’s kept my marriage together! My wife loves Homemade Salsa and my ability to crank it out in a matter of minutes. That’s what I want to share with you today. After you flip through this quick tutorial you’ll be able to throw together Restaurant Quality Salsa in no time. All I ask is that you share this recipe and where it came from with everyone you share the salsa with. As much as you would like to bathe in the spotlight by taking credit for this recipe, you can do us both a favor by crediting Poor Man’s Gourmet Kitchen for the ingredients and patting yourself on the back for being the genius that found this Homemade Salsa video recipe! See, win win all around!
Now let’s break it down. Do you like your Salsa mild or hot? Notice I didn’t say “Spicy”. It doesn’t matter which you prefer because either way, you are going to get the same amount of spices in this recipe. But if you want to control the heat, then you’ve got to control the Peppers! O.K., write that down (or hit the print icon above). Onions and Peppers bring the Heat, so there has got to be a good balance. Garlic spices it up a little bit, but it mostly adds that awesome flavor everyone is looking for in their Homemade Salsa. I know that the Jalapeno’s I’m adding are HOT! Because of this, I only add 1/2 of a de-seeded Jalapeno and 2 smokey Chipotle Peppers (which are optional). Other than the seasonings, everything else in this recipe is relative to any other Homemade Salsa recipe you’ve ever had.
Homemade Salsa Ingredients:
6 Roma Tomatoes
1 Onion
1/2 Bell Pepper
1/2 Jalapeno Pepper without Seeds
2 Chipotle Peppers with canned Juice (Optional)
1 Handful of Fresh Cilantro
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tsp Chicken Bouillon
1/4 tsp Cumin
1 tbsp Oregano
1/8 tsp Garlic Powder
1 Squeezed Lime
Add all ingredients to a Blender and serve. Flavor because more potent and flavorful the longer it marinates. So this salsa will get better in your refrigerator overnight if you can make it the day before you’d like to serve it. Homemade Salsa, right here in the Poor Man’s Gourmet Kitchen!
Soy Sauce Chicken is what the Hawaiian’s call Shoyu Chicken. Obviously a Soy based recipe involving chicken. Not too complicated, but it does take a good hour and a half to get to the finished product. Reduction is your friend when it comes to cooking this recipe, so you do need to pay attention to what you are doing; to an extent anyway. Once you have all of the ingredients put together, all you have to do to manage the cooking is flip the chicken back and forth in a timely fashion; every 25 to 30 minutes. In between I usually do other things. I actually got a work out in and exercised in the back yard the entire time I filmed this recipe.
In the video, I mention that you can further reduce the sauce after you’ve pulled the chicken from the pot. The reason why this is a good idea is because you can lay down another layer of sweet caramelized sauce over the top of the chicken once you pull it from the grill, and you can add it to your rice. My biggest problem is that I don’t like to waste. If I can flip the reduction and turn it into an awesome sauce, that’s a win-win for everyone. I mean, we make gravy from Beef Roasts and turkey don’t we? Exactly!
So there’s one of two things you want to do when you’re making this Soy Sauce Chicken. You can add all the ingredients at the beginning and have a perfect sauce just waiting for you after you’ve taken the Soy Sauce Chicken to the Grill(which is easier and more ideal), or you can spare yourself the sugar content and control how much you add when you reduce the Shoyu Chicken Sauce. Because we are reducing, the salt from the Soy Sauce is going to impose an overwhelming flavor if you don’t add other ingredients to get it under control. Among these ingredients is Vinegar, more Sugar and water. And it’s simple. You add twice the sugar, half the vinegar and an equal amount of water. That means, if you started out with 1 cup of sugar at the beginning of the recipe, you are going to add a second when you reduce the sauce; 1/2 a cup of white vinegar and 1 1/2 cups of water. Taste it. If it’s too bitter or too salty, just add more sugar. Bring this to a boil and reduce while you’re grilling the Soy Sauce Chicken.
Soy Sauce Chicken Ingredients:
1 dozen mixed chicken pieces, wings, thighs, legs and Breasts
8 oz Soy Sauce then fill to the top of chicken with water
2 Green Onions
4 slices of Ginger
1 cup of Brown Sugar
1 tsp Anise
Fresh Cilantro (small hand full)
Bring all the ingredients to a boil and reduce the heat to medium, stirring and turning the chicken occasionally (every 25 to 30 minutes). Cooking time will take approximately 1 1/2 hours to fully absorb the flavor and get tender enough to take it to the grill. Be sure to save the leftover sauce in the bottom of the pan for basting and also for seasoning over rice. Grilling on High heat will only take about 5 minutes. It’s not required but it puts a nice texture and some beautiful grill marks on the skin. I hope you try this Soy Sauce Chicken recipe soon!
