Fellows, I'm going to share something here that is cheap, easy to make, cooks fast, and simply is in a league of its own. It doesn't sound that great, but just try it. I give you my word that you will be more than impressed. Trust me on this one my friends.
Ingriedants:
1 Raw Egg.
1 Green Onion chopped. 
1 Bell Pepper chopped.
1 Sleeve of Ritz Crackers crushed into dust.
1 Roll of Jimmy Dean Original.
1 Roll of Jimmy Dean Hot. 
1 Pack of shredded Cheddar Cheese.
Combine all of the above and mix very well. Form into a loaf and cook indirect over oak at 325-375 degrees until a internal temp of 155 degrees. To say that this is spectacular is a understatement my friends. Hope that y'all enjoy it as much as we do. 









Yall got to try this one fellows.

    Ok - I believe you, Scottie, but I'm missing the last chapter. After all cooked, how do you serve it as an appetizer?

    Looks pretty interesting, going to have to give it a spin. Thanks for an awesome post, @SGH.

    I was at a holiday party the other night and someone had brought over a bunch of different cookies. I was about 7 or 8 into my favorite one when I realized they were just Ritz covered in dark chocolate. I still ate about 4 or five more...

    Cheers -

    Just slice it into cubes and serve it on a toothpick like pigs in a blanket. Give it a try Ron, I give you my word that it's simply phenomenal.

    Follow the recipe/ingriedants exactly and you will not be disappointed my friend. Here is a useful tip. Use a pan big enough to keep the thickness 2" or less. It will cook more even than the thicker ones. Hope you enjoy my friend.

    i think I've seen this before, in my copy of the American heart associations cookbook.  All kidding aside that looks awesome, and I need to try this sooner than later.

    I HATE bell pepper. Literally cant eat anything with it cooked in it. Reckon how many jalapenos would work without burning my lips off?
    You can omit the bell pepper if you wish. The Jimmy Dean Hot is pretty warm so I would limit the jalapeños to no more than 2 my friend. If you are heat sensitive, try it with just 1 as a test. I have made the loaf with no peppers at all (onion only) and it is still fantastic.

    I make a similar type of dip quantity wise which calls for either a full green pepper or 8 diced jalapenoes. Instead of either since my wife can't handle heat I just use 2 jalapenoes. The dip still tastes great, but doesn't burn. HTH

    I'm thinking this would be great rolled into meatballs and pan cooked with some thinned out bbq sauce.

    Or glazed with some bbq at the end and let it get sticky.

    I sure that both of those would be great as well. However do me a favor and try it as is. I know it doesn't sound impressive at all, but it's one of those things that is really deceptive. Feel free to modify it and Doctor it up. But at least try it as is one time and let me know what you think.

    That was my initial thought as well.  I will usually throw a sausage fattie on when doing an all day cook.  Slice it up with some eggs for breakfast.  I usually cook it directly on the grid if I've rolled and sealed it correctly.

    Thanks for sharing Scottie.

    I have, and they turn out pretty good as well. However without the pan you lose a lot of the cheese and more importantly, the grease. The soaking in the grease is what puts this over the top.

    Can you eat a pabllano pepper? I often substitute....significantly different taste with great flavor. Just a suggestion.

    Fellows, I made a typo in the ingriedants list above. For the bell pepper it should be 1/4 of a bell pepper, not 1 whole bell pepper. If you really like bell pepper you can certainly put a whole one in there. However I use 1/4 of a bell pepper myself. All other amounts are correct in the above list. My apologies my friends.

    I dont know that Ive ever tried a poblano. Might give that a try. Its just something about those bell peppers I cant handle. I dont even like to smell a bell pepper.

    this is very similar to the sausage balls i make but i use bisquick vs ritz.  try rolling them in balls and baking on parchment paper, might be easier for you to serve as an appetizer

    as for jalapeno, just deseed it and dice it up.  most of the heat is contained in the seeds

    @Biggreenpharmacist- Like you I can't stand bell peppers, but give an orange, red or yellow one a try.  Much different and good flavor.

    I have my friend. I just prefer to use the pan method. With the pan you do not lose the grease. Also you won't lose any of the cheese. The cheese and soaking in the grease is honestly what makes this so good. Once it's cooked, it doesn't have to be served in small chunks, it can be served in slices like meat loaf. Give this pan method a try and see what you think.

    @sgh thank you for sharing this recipe. It is every bit as delicious as you stated.  I made it for a party last evening and  before I could snap a photo it was devoured by a group of hungry teens. Wish that I had made a double batch!
