Mike's Kids Winner Winner BBQ Dinner!

Since we, as Chefs are all well aware of the stress we experience daily with the culinary demands of others, I regularly test my young students with hectic, timed cooking challenges. Fellow Chefs? Tonight they nailed it! And, once again, all met each of their deadlines. Anyway, it's almost Summer AND it's the weekend, so it's BBQ night here in the O'Brien Shire! With that, my 7 year old students were charged with cooking their parents a complete BBQ poolside dinner. All to be completed within an hour. BBQ Chicken, BBQ Baked Beans, Sweet Buttered Corn and chilly, fresh side salads were all on the roster! This recipe was one of my favorites. It's such an easy, affordable and delicious taste of a simple Southern Summer BBQ supper! All were BBQ'd, mixed, chopped, documented, presented and photographed by a tiny, adventurous, creative little 7 year old lassie named Lacy. However, one of my favorite baked bean recipes tonight included precooked shredded pork. But, bacon, side pork and pork fat works great in any baked bean dish! [she's so cute! check her out! snapping pictures of literally everything she's cooking! adorable!]
