This is my first attempt at making bacon. I did two different methods to see which one turns out better.
First method was cure #1 with my sugar and salt using the suggested percentages found on another thread on this page. 14 days in the refrigerator flipping every night.
Second method was...
Just wanted to share what I was up to this weekend. Friday some bone-in NY strip steaks seasoned with salt, black pepper, garlic powder grilled over wood fired coals. Saturday grilled lemon garlic and smoked paprika shrimp over charcoal fire. Sunday smoked some spare ribs, home made jalapeno...
Made a batch of Texas Twinkies. Large jalapeños stuffed with chopped brisket, cream cheese, grated pepper jack cheese, and seasoning. All wrapped in bacon.
Slice a "T" in the side of the jalapeños so you can carefully open it to remove the seeds and veins. Be sure to wear gloves and avoid...
Quick and easy smoke for dinner today before the game. Brined some wings for a day. They were half the package from Costco bulk package, about 30 wings. Dried them off and coated with salt and baking powder and let sit in fridge on a rack for 8 hours. Sprayed with avacado oil and sprinkled on...
I got my hands on a couple of Berkshire bone-in pork bellies, so of course I HAD to cure a rack.
Then smoke on my Weber kettle with the Fireboard ring - 225 for about.... 3 hours or so, till 155is internal.
Then chilled, cut into individual ribs, coated in a mix of brown sugar, 16 mesh...
Stopped at local grocer chain store today. I picked up 3 items from the discount table.
Well tonight was burger night so I tried the 455 and bacon jam on my meal.
The bacon jam (bottom spread) was nicely spicy, but a little sweet for my taste, but $1.79 is cheaper than I can make my own...
I've not been able to get any pepper flavor in my bacon. This last batch for my rub I had
6g cure
33g salt
17g sugar
63g pepper. I really didn't mean to add that much but it just dumped out. Lol
Think this will be overpowering?
Keri's beans bring me back to when I first joined in 2008.
They were a big hit when I made them, as were Dutch's beans.
I sure miss the old crew, I was like a sponge, soaking in all the info that people would share with me. It was really special, even a noob at the time like I was could get...
Smoked Mississippi Pork Belly Stuffed Smoked Potatoes with Shaved Brussels Sprouts.
I started with a half skinless pork belly, just under 5 pounds and cut it in half. I saved the other half for another day.
I mixed 1 packet of pork gravy mix, 1 packet of Spicy Ranch Dip Mix and 1...
I'm always reluctant to add my comments on curing threads.
I use the same amount of cure#1 but run less than 1% total salts and zero sugars in my dry rubs.
I find my cured meat is oddly strong without a bit of external rub.
I don't add any other rub to bacon until preparing for the smoke...
I just happened to run across this today. Bear taught me about all I know with smoking meats and such with my MES30 I was using several years back. He had some great recipes. I really miss that man.
Smoked stuffed Pork Chop, Loaded Potato Salad, Parmesan Garlic Corn on the Cob and Everything Bagel Seasoned Deviled Eggs
Started by mixing about 4 ounces of whipped Chive flavored Cream Cheese with additional fresh Chives, 1/2 teaspoon of Lime Pepper, and a handful of Blue Cheese Crumbles...
Love smoked pork chops, but isn't that just loin with the bone still attached? same meat.
I have been doing 2% Salt, 0.24% PP1, and 2% Sugar, and 0.5% Black Pepper. Seems to be coming out pretty good. I have tried with more Aromatics, onions, garlic, etc like a pastrami brine almost, and I think...
nice find! I always am on the lookout for stuff like that. I had some bacon jam leftover in the fridge and decided to make a glaze with it for a pork loin. Really enjoyed it.
A little Canadian. A lot Texan

2 tablespoons bacon grease

1/2 cup heavy cream, half-and-half, or additional milk

Some...
Was digging through freezer looking for some canadien bacon the wife said was there. Ran across some homemade pastrami I forgot about first. Yum. Dont have rye, swiss, or russian or thousand island dressing. Will have to make do with what is on hand.
Slice of sourdough cut in half, buttered...
Atomic Buffalo Turd
(or Treat for the young folks).
These little treats will satisfy almost anyone and bring most back begging for more. The prep time is where the real work is but worth every minute. I like to use left over brisket and Boston butt but you can substitute cocktail wennies...

We generally top with some thin sliced bacon crumbles and grated cheese of choice. My fav is pepper Jack.
