We’ve got a new addition to our Big Green Egg family, but don’t worry our Large Egg isn’t going anywhere! We’ve been cooking on our Large for a while now, and we’re excited to add an XL to the mix! One thing we really want to do is help those of you who are trying to decide between a Large and an XL Big Green Egg. We’ll be sharing what we love about each one, the differences in cooking space, and which size might work best for your family. But first things first… Before we start cooking on the new Egg, we’re talking about that important first burn and why keeping the temperature low during the initial cooks helps the gasket adhesive cure properly. We’re excited to have both sizes so we can share real-life experiences and hopefully help y’all decide which one is right for you! Now tell us… do you cook on a Large or XL Big Green Egg? And if you were buying your first Egg today, which size would you choose? #biggreenegg #xl #grilling #outdoor #cook

If you’ve never made chili this way, you’re missing out! We started with onions, bell peppers, smoked poblano peppers, beans, and our favorite chili seasoning mix in a pot. Then we placed a big ball of ground chuck on the grate above it and let it smoke while all those delicious drippings fell right into the chili! Once the ground chuck was smoked, we added it to the pot along with some chopped brisket for even more smoky flavor! This might be one of our favorite ways to make chili! Perfect for a cool fall day, football weekend, or feeding a crowd! Have you ever tried over-the-top chili, or are you sticking with your traditional recipe? #chili #biggreenegg #fall #grilling #smoke

Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best! This salad is nothing fancy, but it is so good! We started with chopped lettuce, sprinkled it with salt, and let it sit in the refrigerator to get nice and cold. Then we added chopped tomatoes and olives. That’s it! Just a few ingredients, but sometimes that’s all you need for a great side dish! #salad #quickrecipes #tomato #olive #fast

You can’t go wrong with a good Chicken Parmesan! Crispy chicken, marinara sauce, and lots of melted cheese. What’s not to love? We started by frying our chicken until golden and crispy. Then we topped it with marinara sauce and cheese and popped it under the broiler until the cheese was melted and bubbly! We cooked up some pasta, tossed it in marinara sauce, and served it alongside the chicken. Simple ingredients, a delicious dinner, and one the whole family will love! Are you a Chicken Parmesan fan? And do you like yours with spaghetti or another pasta? #chicken #pasta #chickenparm #cooking #home

you’re tired of dry chicken breast, you’ve got to try cooking it SOUS VIDE! We think this is one of the easiest and BEST ways to cook chicken breast! It comes out tender, juicy, and full of flavor every time! We started by cooking our chicken sous vide, then dried it off REALLY well, added our favorite seasonings, and finished it in a screaming-hot skillet to get that beautiful, crispy skin! Juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside! What’s not to love? Have you ever tried cooking chicken sous vide, or are you sticking with the grill? #chicken #sousvide #juicy #dinner #cooking

Who remembers growing up eating steaks marinated in Dale’s Steak Seasoning?! We’re taking a little trip down memory lane with a Dale’s-marinated ribeye, but this time we’re cooking it on the Big Green Egg! Now, we KNOW Dale’s can be a controversial topic, especially when you’re talking about putting it on a good ribeye. 😂 Some people swear by it, and others think a good steak only needs salt and pepper. But sometimes it’s not about trying to make the fanciest steak. It’s about those familiar flavors that take you right back to growing up and sitting around the dinner table. And there’s just something fun about bringing an old favorite back with a little Big Green Egg twist! Now let’s settle this debate… are you TEAM DALE’S or is putting marinade on a ribeye a crime?! #biggreenegg #ribeye #dales #steak

Apparently, there’s a National Chicken Fried Steak Day, and that’s a holiday I can get behind! We went all in with crispy, golden chicken fried steak, homemade white country gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Nothing fancy. Just good old-fashioned Southern comfort food. And yes, I deep-fried the steaks because sometimes easier is better! Who else thinks chicken fried steak deserves its own holiday? 😂 #CookingWithTheCummins #ChickenFriedSteak #SouthernCooking #ComfortFood #HomeCooking

Who says homemade chicken and dumplings have to take all afternoon?! We’re making one of our favorite Southern comfort foods in 30 MINUTES, and we’ve got TWO shortcuts that make it so easy! We started with a simple roux, then added celery, onions, and garlic to build that delicious homemade flavor. Next came the chicken broth and shredded rotisserie chicken. But here’s the trick that makes this recipe SO easy… FLOUR TORTILLAS FOR THE DUMPLINGS! Yep, you read that right! We cut flour tortillas into strips and added them right into the pot. They cook in that flavorful broth and make an easy shortcut for traditional flat dumplings! All the comfort of a big bowl of chicken and dumplings without spending hours in the kitchen. And let’s be honest… sometimes a good shortcut is exactly what we need on a busy weeknight! 30 minutes. Simple ingredients. Southern comfort food. CALL IT DINNER! Now we’ve got to know… Have you ever used flour tortillas for dumplings, or is this a new trick for you? #southern #comfortfood #chicken #soup #sick

One of our favorite steakhouse sides, and it’s SO easy to make at home! We start with frozen spinach, but here’s the trick — make sure you squeeze out as much water as possible! Sauté some garlic, add your spinach, then finish it off with cream and butter for that rich, creamy steakhouse flavor. Simple ingredients, minimal prep, and a side dish that’s perfect with a good steak! Are you a fan of creamed spinach, or are you skipping this side? #spinach #steakhouse #side #bbq

Now THIS is a dish that’s all about the sauce! And if you’ve never had New Orleans-style BBQ shrimp, don’t let the name fool you. There’s no traditional BBQ sauce involved! We started with extra-large, head-on, tail-on, deveined shrimp and put them in a hot cast-iron skillet to get a little char on those shells and build some flavor. Then we added onions, garlic, chicken stock, white wine, plenty of black pepper, Cajun seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. We let all of that cook down before adding butter to make that rich, flavorful sauce. Then the shrimp went back into the skillet to finish cooking in all that goodness. We topped everything with fresh parsley, and CALL IT DINNER! This is one of those dishes where you definitely want some good crusty French bread nearby because you’re NOT going to want to leave that sauce behind! A little messy, a whole lot of flavor, and absolutely worth it! #shrimp #bbq #bbqshrimp #neworleans #southern

Who doesn’t love Alice Springs Chicken from Outback Steakhouse?! Well, we’re making our own version at home, and getting dinner on the table in 30 MINUTES! We’re talking juicy chicken, bacon, melted cheese, and that delicious honey mustard flavor that makes Alice Springs Chicken so good! And of course, we had to serve it with mashed potatoes! But here’s the trick to getting this entire meal done in 30 minutes… we used store-bought mashed potatoes! Sometimes you’ve got to take a shortcut to get dinner on the table, and we’re ALL about making weeknight cooking easier. A restaurant-inspired dinner without spending all evening in the kitchen! 30 minutes. A little shortcut. CALL IT DINNER! Now tell us… are you making your mashed potatoes from scratch every time, or are you okay with a store-bought shortcut? #chicken #outback #quick #30minutes

We’re taking steak night to another level with this one! We started with a beautiful bone-in New York strip and used the reverse sear method on the Big Green Egg. First, we cooked it low and slow to bring it up to temperature and let it pick up some of that smoky flavor. But here’s where things got fun… We finished it with a CAVEMAN SEAR! We got that steak as close to the hot coals as we could for an intense, high-heat finish and a beautiful crust on the outside! There’s just something about cooking a good steak over charcoal that is hard to beat. Low and slow to start. Hot and fast to finish! Now let’s hear it… Are you team reverse sear, or do you prefer grilling your steak hot and fast from the beginning? #steak #biggreenegg #datenight #hot

Sometimes the simplest side dishes turn out to be some of the BEST! We took fresh tomatoes, stuffed them with spinach and onions, then topped them with cheese and popped them under the broiler until the cheese was melted, bubbly, and golden brown! The tomatoes get nice and tender, the spinach and onions add so much flavor, and that cheesy topping brings it all together. Simple ingredients, easy preparation, and a delicious side dish that looks a little fancy without all the work! These would be perfect alongside steak, chicken, seafood, or just about anything you’re cooking for dinner. And let’s be honest… adding melted cheese to vegetables is never a bad idea! Are you a fan of cooked tomatoes, or do you prefer yours fresh? #tomato #spinach #side #steakhouse

Looking for something different for breakfast? These are SO easy and delicious! Start with a tortilla and press breakfast sausage onto one side. Place it sausage-side down in a hot skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked. Flip it over to get a little color on the tortilla, too! Add some scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, and your favorite hot sauce! Simple ingredients, tons of flavor, and a breakfast the whole family will love! Would you try these for breakfast? #breakfastideas #breakfast #tacos #morning #fall

We’re trying something NEW at Cooking with the Cummins! This was our first time using the Orion Cooker, and we decided to put it to the test with a Boston butt! And here’s what really surprised us… it cut our cooking time in HALF! If you’ve ever cooked a Boston butt, you know it can be an all-day process. So we were pretty excited to see just how much time we could save using this cooker. We love trying new ways to cook, and while this was our first experience with the Orion Cooker, it definitely won’t be our last! We’ve still got plenty to learn about it, but we can’t wait to fire it up again and see what else we can cook! Now we want to hear from y’all… Have you ever used an Orion Cooker? What should we try cooking on it next? #pork #porkbutt #smoke #bbq #orion

You just can’t beat a good batch of chicken wings on the Big Green Egg! We went with two different flavors for this cook! Half got a good coating of lemon pepper seasoning, and the other half we kept simple with salt, pepper, and garlic. We smoked them on the Big Green Egg to get that delicious smoky flavor, then tossed the salt, pepper, and garlic wings in hot honey at the end for a little sweet heat! The lemon pepper was drizzled with a lemon and olive oil. Lemon Pepper vs. Hot Honey! Two easy flavors, one Big Green Egg, and a whole lot of good wings! Perfect for football Saturdays, tailgating, or just an easy dinner at home. Now let’s settle this… Are you TEAM LEMON PEPPER or TEAM HOT HONEY? #chickenwings #biggreenegg #grilled #smoke #chicken

Who says you have to go to a fancy restaurant for a dinner like this?! We’re making sesame crusted ahi tuna, and the trick is cooking it HOT and FAST! We coated the tuna in sesame seeds, then gave it a quick sear over high heat to get that beautiful crust on the outside while keeping the center rare. And we didn’t stop with the tuna! We paired it with wasabi mashed potatoes and broccolini for a restaurant-quality dinner right at home. The little kick from the wasabi potatoes, the sesame crust on the tuna, and the broccolini make such a good combination! It looks fancy, but this is one of those meals that’s surprisingly simple to pull together. Restaurant-quality food without the restaurant bill! Now we’ve got to know… Are you a fan of rare seared tuna? #tuna #datenight #rare #seafood

Sweet and savory all in one dish? YES, PLEASE! We’re making breakfast a little easier with this Pancake and Sausage Breakfast Casserole, and it’s perfect for feeding the whole family! We started by browning breakfast sausage and adding a little maple syrup for that sweet and savory combination we all love. Then we spread the sausage in the bottom of our baking dish, poured Bisquick pancake batter over the top, and added fresh blueberries before popping it in the oven! The result? One dish filled with fluffy pancakes, savory sausage, sweet maple syrup, and juicy blueberries! It’s everything you love about a big weekend breakfast without having to stand over the stove flipping pancakes! Perfect for lazy Saturday mornings, Sunday breakfast, holidays, or when you’ve got a house full of people to feed. And a little extra maple syrup on top never hurt anybody! Are you a sweet and savory breakfast person, or do you like to keep your pancakes and sausage separate? #breakfastideas #sausage #pancakes #quick #family

Who says you have to go out to dinner to enjoy a restaurant-quality appetizer or dinner?! We’re making a Crab & Spicy Ahi Tuna Tower, and while it looks fancy, it’s actually pretty simple to put together! We layered fresh crab meat, cucumber, avocado, and spicy ahi tuna into a ramekin, then flipped it over onto the plate to create that beautiful seafood stack! We surrounded it with crisp iceberg lettuce tossed in ginger dressing, then finished everything with a little extra sauce and crunch. It’s fresh, flavorful, and one of those dishes that looks like it came straight out of a restaurant kitchen! And the best part? You don’t need any fancy equipment — just a ramekin and a little patience when you flip it over! Would you order this at a restaurant, or are you trying to make it at home? Tip: get your fresh ahi tuna trusted seafood supplier. #tuna #crab #tower #fancy #fresh

The Mississippi State Fair is in Jackson, and you know we couldn’t let fair season go by without trying something a little crazy on the Big Green Egg! BACON-WRAPPED SMOKED OREOS! Yep, you read that right. We wrapped Oreos in bacon, sprinkled them with a little BBQ rub, and put them on the Big Green Egg to pick up some of that smoky flavor. Then, to finish them off, we drizzled on a little hot honey for just the right amount of kick! Sweet, salty, smoky, and a little spicy. This might be one of the most unusual things we’ve cooked on the Egg, but that’s what makes it fun! We’re bringing a little bit of the fair to our own backyard! Now the REAL question… would you try a bacon-wrapped Oreo, or have we officially taken things too far? #oreo #smoke #biggreenegg #fair #fairfood
