Shit, I forgot that was his deal that people lost some money on. Assume we're talking about the same guy. He was extremely nice to me when I met him at Fair Park.

We're definitely talking about the same guy.

that cheesy squash was damn good

I went by the place in Houston where Champ was cooking, twice.  The Q was excellent and he was very kind, both times.  

I never went into business with him, so can't comment on any of that.

That picture is of the one I got at the aforementioned Buck's (Galveston), which is made from the JM Recipe.  I've worked up a recipe based on my memory of it, which likely isn't a clone but is close enough for me and very tasty.

 

This is mine (batch 1).  I've backed off the cheese a touch in later batches and have liked it more.  But this still was good.

there's a little onion and sour cream thing going on in mine too.   I forget the proportions off the top of my head, but I think I posted it somewhere here.  It's really easy to make.

Yeah, that was it. Pretty sure this is also accurate that he's moved to NM. I actually met Champ at our charity BBQ cookoff in Dallas last year. Since he is a "pro" he wasn't competing. He was cooking with [mention=1044]luke duke[/mention] and serving samples to our attendees. Good guy.
I heard @luke duke cooks his beef ribs medium rare.

Sounds excellent. Might have to try that tonight.

That recipe might as well be a Betty Crocker.  It's the base.  Dress it up however you like.  But I can attest that the base is delicious.  And either pepper addition would probably plus it up nicely. 

 

Think of it as the squash version of a loaded baked potato, which to me suggests that bacon is another perfect addition.

Yep. We usually make it with Yeller squash and zuchini, and I usually top it with crushed buttered ritz crackers. Got an aunt that would make this with a pound or two of Jimmy Dean hot sausage. That was mighty good.

That recipe I posted 100% was derived from something that suggested a crushed Ritz cracker topping.  But since I was trying to somewhat recreate something I'd eaten once, which was much lauded on this site and Shaggy in its John Mueller iteration, I haven't put on the Ritz yet to coin a phrase.

My mom made it often and sometimes would add sliced mushrooms. Adding ribs to the vegetarian thread.

I’m just gonna say it….

the squash is not great.   I had it at Captain Stabby’s.  Not impressed.  It was much better than other squash dishes I have sampled, but at the end of the day it was still squash, and squash is not a tasty vegetable.  You can drown a flip flop in cheese and make it edible, but it’s still a flip flop.  The world is full of tasty vegetables, no reason to waste your time on squash.

Tried this last night and it was pretty good. I added green bell pepper and then sprinkled some toasted bread crumbs/panko on top before putting in oven, along with some more cheddar. I don’t think it was “soupy/cheesy” enough. I did halve your proportion (two squash) because nobody else was having any but me last night. I think next time I’ll add more sour cream, more cheese and use a smaller, deeper casserole dish. This is an easy recipe and open to adding all kinds of good stuff to jazz it up.

You may have squeezed too much of the juice out or the bread crumbs may have absorbed some of the liquid.  Play with it.  I've made it with two squash, half an onion, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1.5 cups of cheese with great results.  The recipe above is 1.0 for sure.

#11032

The ribs and sausage are maybe my favorites in Austin, but I’ve always felt the brisket and pastrami weren’t at that level. But today everything was on point. Cheesecake is great, they have Electric Jellyfish, and it’s never really crowded.

It’s not supposed to be soupy or watery. It should hold together in a square. I like Lisa Fain’s recipe, without the Fritos, as it’s close to what my mom and aunts made. Tgreadgills had a great one.

Did Snows with a group of friends yesterday. And drank Grange with it. Pretty solid little Saturday.

For clarity's sake, the Stabby recipe I was shooting for, which resulted in this threadjacking, was a little soupy.  Not much, but just enough.

Looks great. Did you hold your pinky out while drinking your fancy wine? If so you should hold your pinky out eating a rib as well.

I’m more the squash casserole that’s more solid. That’s more stewed squash.

It is what it is, i.e. "Cheesy Squash."  But it's something specific that a lot of people enjoyed back when JM was alive and making it. 

 

Nothing wrong with squash casserole, but that's not what this recipe is supposed to approximate..

Fuck! I hate to hear this, didn’t know him but he sounded like a hell of a guy. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

John Mother Fucking Brotherton is one of the most loved and respected people in bbq. He was the best of us. He was a great ambassador for Texas bbq. Hug your local pitmaster this week, we’re all hurting.
