These recipes pair the bold spices of smoked tasso, seasoned chicken and boudin with fresh-picked vegetables, creating dishes where garden produce shines alongside the flavorful mains. From stuffed peppers to charred skewers, read on for ideas on how to use Cajun flavors to elevate your harvest. Time to gather, grill and savor the best of both worlds.
Best Stop Burgers Fresh Fixins’
A burger is all about the meat, but the veggies bring it all together. Whether you choose the Robert Patty (beef-pork stuffed with boudin), Dana Patty (Cajun-rubbed with jalapeños and garlic), or Cormier Patty (lean beef with green onions), fresh garden tomatoes and homemade pickles are the MVPs. Each patty leans on Best Stop’s smoky spices, but ripe tomatoes add bright contrast—and a swipe of Cajun mayo seals the deal.
Marinated Chicken and Veggie Kabobs
Best Stop Cajun-marinated chicken thighs grill alongside garden zucchini, squash, and onions until charred and tender. The chicken’s smoky seasoning infuses the veggies, while the squash softens slightly and the zucchini absorbs the marinade’s garlic and spice. Sweet onions caramelize between the pieces, balancing the heat.
Pro Tip: Let the grill work its magic—charred edges mean maximum flavor. Serve straight off the skewers for a no-fuss crowd-pleaser.
Tasso Green Beans
Fresh-picked green beans meet Best Stop Smoked Tasso in this smoky-sweet side. The Tasso’s bold Cajun spice and rich pork flavor sear into the beans as they sauté.
Pro Tip: Render the Tasso first so its fat coats the beans, carrying that smoky heat into every bite. Simple, fast, and packed with backyard-to-table flavor.
Boudin-Stuffed Bell Peppers
Garden bell peppers, thick-walled and sweet, hollowed out and packed with Best Stop award-winning signature boudin. The peppers roast until blistered, their natural sweetness balancing the boudin’s smoky heat, while melty pepper jack cheese on top adds creamy richness and a touch of crunch.
Fresh Possibilities
An overflowing garden is the best kind of problem. With Best Stop’s Cajun spices and a hot grill, those zucchini, peppers, and beans become bold, charred goodness. Need ideas? We’re here to help turn that backyard bounty into meals worth gathering around.
