SV Chucky Hand-me-down


OK, so I was out of Chuckies, and I mentioned it to Bear Jr.
So he brings me two frozen packs of Beef that he had frozen for Diesel (his Chocolate Lab).
It seems one of Diesel’s many allergies happens to be Beef, so he switched him over to Turkey.
I don’t know how often he used to make Chuckies for him, but each of those 2 hunks of meat was about half of what I buy as a Chuck Roast.
They were each about 1.5 pounds. So—Sure I’ll take them!! LOL---Hand-Me-Downs from the Dog.

So I thawed them out & racked them in my SV Rack, filled my Sous Vide Supreme & set it @ 165°.
NOTE: I edited this Temp from 132° to 165° for 48 hours, after Brian Trommater pointed out to me that I had typed 132° instead of 165°.
Then 48 hours later I remove the packs from the water. Removed the Chucky Halves from the Bags.
I saved the Juices for Gravy, and pulled enough Meat off for our Supper.
Mrs Bear made the Gravy, some Mashed Taters, and some cut Green Beans.

After Supper I pulled the rest & put it in one of our Green Containers for the Fridge.

Then the next day I had a Nice big 3 slice Pyramid Hot Roast Beef Sammy for Supper.

The next day I had two leftover rolls from another night (1 Burger Bun & 1 Hot Dog Bun).
So I lathered them up with my new Jar of “Kelchner’s Creamy Horseradish Sauce”.
Then filled them with hot Pulled Beef, and added some Bread & Butter Pickle Chips on the side.

That “Kelchner’s Creamy Horseradish Sauce” is definitely a Re-order!!!!

Not seen was a couple more Sammies on the next night.


Thanks for Stopping in,

Bear

Loooks great but think you might of had it set higher than 132? I'm guessing 165.

Oh Shoot !!!
Another Senior Moment!!!
Thank You Brian!!
You're right---165° for 48 hours, for Pulled Chucky.
132° for 48 hours is for a Prime Rib-like Chucky.
I'm going back now to edit my first post.

Thank You Brian!!

Yup for sure some great looking sammies. Still don't get these long cooks in a SV but I'm an old dog. Kelchner's makes a lot of great products we use their cocktail sauce all the time.
