Oh there is nothing better than oyster season! Dozens of varieties to chose from, all over the world. Thank goodness airplanes were invented so we can have access to nature's aphrodisiacs wherever we live. However you take your oysters, don't forget to add a little Smokin' Mary to your mix!

Smokin' Mary's Oysters on the Half Shell

Smokin' Mary Mix makes a great cocktail sauce for oysters on the half. It also makes a great accompaniment for oyster shooters. Or if you're barbecuing them in the half shell, pour a little Smokin’ Mary Mix on top of each one.  Cheers!

Combining three of my favorite foods: chocolate, meat and Smokin' Mary. There are over 40 variations of this traditional South American dish and the majority do not include chocolate. However, the addition of this sweet additive has made this complex sauce popularity in the United States. Smokin' Mary's recipe gives you a good taste of a classic dish you can make at home!

Smokin' Mary Mole

2 cups of Smokin' Mary Mix
5 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 package of Swiss Miss instant hot chocolate
2 cups chicken broth
2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil

In a large stew pot add oil at medium heat. Add onion and peppers and sauté until tender.

Add Smokin' Mary mix and chicken broth, bring to a boil. Once it has reached a boil turn down the heat to a simmer, stir in the dark chocolate and Swiss Miss.

Simmer for 45 minutes. If its too thick, add a cup of water.

Add shredded chicken, pork or beef. 

Serve with warm tortillas while enjoying a  Smokin' Maria cocktail. Cheers!

Smokin' Mary goes well with chili, it's a natural pairing. We have a lot of variations of chili featuring our award winning mix. But the one that takes the cake is our meaty chili. It should just be called meat meat meat, but that might get confusing. So we spelled it out for you. If you like meat as much as we do, this is the chili for you!

1 x 15 oz. can of black eyed peas with liquid
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp chipotle flakes

Brown all the meats together, making sure the ground beef is crumbled. Set aside

Sauté garlic, onion, bell pepper and celery together in some olive oil until cooked but still firm.
 
Add the browned meats and the sautéed vegetables together in a big pot. Add the canned tomatoes, kidney beans, black eyed peas, chili powder, cumin, chipotle flakes and the Smokin’ Mary Mix. (Be sure to rinse the bottle with a little water and pour it all into the pot.)

There is nothing better than combining dinner and drinks, especially when you can do it all in one pot. We took direction  from Julia  Child on cooking a good meal in the kitchen and added a little kick to this chili recipe. You can always opt out on that extra ingredient, but we think it adds just the right extra touch to make a unique, shareable chili concoction.

Loaded Bloody Mary Chili

Ingredients:
  • Olive oil, for sautéeing
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3 pounds ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground oregano
  • 2 cups Smokin’ Mary mix, (more if prefer)
  • 1/4 cup vodka (optional but well worth it!)
  • 1 Tbsp Montreal steak seasoning
  • Several dashes Tabasco, or to taste
  • Several dashes Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
  • 15 oz can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 15 oz can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

Directions:

In a large pot over medium heat, add some olive oil and sauté the celery and onions until soft. Add the garlic and stir, then add the ground beef. Cook until browned, 5 to 10 minutes; drain off the excess fat. Stir in the chili powder, cumin and oregano.
 
Add the Bloody Mary mix, vodka (if using), Montreal steak seasoning, Tabasco and Worcestershire to the pot. Stir. Add the kidney and pinto beans, stir together well, cover and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add more Smokin' Mary mix or water if needed during simmering.

Serves 8
