This is a dish I grew up with as a kid and has always been a favorite of mine. Last night I decided to take it a step further and bake it on the Egg to add some smoke to it and it elevated it even further in my mind. Its a simple dish of ground beef, tomato soup, extra sharp cheddar cheese, kidney beans and some corn but man is it good. Even better when its cold out, but I was craving it last night.

Already prepped and ready to go on the Egg

400 indirect with some pecan for smoke

30 minutes later served up with some biscuits. Mmm, mmm, mmm... I was in heaven

So tasty and the smoke just made it better. I could imagine sitting around a campfire and making this in a dutch oven over an open flame. Did it need to be cooked on the Egg? No....but it sure did taste better.

    I just showed my wife this and she said "Kid Food". And then asked for me to make it for dinner sometime next week.

    It is similar to my Grandmothers (East Texas) recipe. It reminds me of seeing her making this in her cast iron pot.

    I bet some chopped green chile in that would be good too...
