RECIPE EXPERIMENT: Gluten Free, Low Carb Bacon Cheese Mini Muffins

RECIPE EXPERIMENT: Gluten Free, Low Carb, Bacon Cheese Rolls

You may expect anything gluten free to taste like a hockey puck.  The good news is, using a recipe for "Fat Head Dough" will prevent that from happening.

KQ host Mitch Hightower and partner chef Philip Buchan have been experimenting with Fat Head Dough.  They have discovered that this gluten free, low carbohydrate dough can be used in a variety of different sweet and savory baking recipes.  And no wheat flour is required!

More ideas for baking with this dough will be available in new KQ Season 5 episodes coming in 2019!

RECIPE EXPERIMENTS: Pulled Pork Enchiladas

RECIPE EXPERIMENTS: Pulled Pork Enchiladas

Chef Philip makes an awesome dry-rubbed pulled pork, and he used some of the meat to create an enchilada dish that wowed us all. Corn tortillas were filled with the pulled pork as well as diced onions and a generous amount of cheese. Next the enchiladas were slathered in a homemade sauce made just for this recipe, and topped with more grated cheese. The kitchen smelled amazing while these baked. And they were gone mighty fast, so hopefully Chef Philip will make a double batch next time. So yes, this #RecipeExperiment was a huge success.
