BIG DADDY'S SPICY BEEF PATTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brown the ground beef in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, paprika, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir together, and then add the jalapeno. Remove from the heat, and add the bread crumbs and the beef broth. Stir well to combine and set aside to cool completely.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, curry powder and water. Set aside.
• On a work surface, flatten the pie crusts and cut out 3-inch rounds using a cookie cutter.
• Add a hearty tablespoon of the beef mixture onto each round. Fold over and press the edges with your fingers. Crimp the edges with a fork. Transfer the patties to a baking sheet and brush the tops with the egg mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• Arrange on a serving platter and serve.

BIG DADDY'S BLACKENED TILAPIA

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine all of the spices. Press a heaping tablespoon of the spice mix onto each fillet so that both sides are liberally coated. Allow the fish to sit for 15 minutes at room temperature prior to cooking.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is almost smoking, add the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with lemon juice and transfer the fillets to serving platter.

BIG DADDY'S SLOPPY JOE BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Add beef tenderloin, pepper and salt. Mix together. Allow to cook for a few minutes. Add onions, peppers and garlic and stir. Mix in steak sauce, brown sugar, hot sauce and dry mustard. Cook until browned.
• Serve on toasted brioche.

BIG DADDY'S APPLE COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lightly butter a 9 by 9-inch baking dish.
• In a large bowl, mix together the apples, sugars, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, nutmeg and lemon. Add the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
• Add all the topping ingredients to a medium bowl and combine well with a wooden spoon, to form a batter. Dollop the batter in various spots on top of the apple mixture. The batter will spread as it bakes. Put the cobbler in the oven and bake until the apples are tender and the crust is colored, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve with Ginger Whipped Cream.
• Add the cream and sugar to a medium bowl. Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the cream until stiff peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in the ginger. Cover and chill up to 4 hours before serving.

BIG DADDY'S GET UP GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Lightly grease a half sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the oats, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, coconut and brown sugar. Mix well. Add the molasses and peanut oil. Toss well until all ingredients are evenly dispersed and coated. Spread the granola out evenly on the sheet tray. Bake in the oven for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to achieve even color.
• Remove from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Fold in raisins and graham crackers. Stir the blueberries into the yogurt in a small bowl. Spoon the yogurt into serving glasses or bowls and top with graham cracker granola.

GROWN-UP ROOT BEER FLOAT

Steps:

• Use a vegetable peeler to remove a long piece of zest from the orange, working your way around the fruit.
• Combine the bourbon and bitters in a tall glass. Twist the orange zest over the glass to release the oils, then drop it in. Fill the glass halfway with ice. Add the root beer.
• Slowly pour the cream over the back of a spoon into the glass so it floats on top.
