    Breakfast Haystack Remix (First Cook on New Blackstone)

    I bought a new 17” Blackstone Griddle with a hood last month at a benefit auction…I paid more than what I would have elsewhere, but the proceeds went to a daycare center for handicapped children where my wife used to work before we were married, so I felt justified in the extra expense… Finally...

    Spicy Bacon Spamwich

    I hadn’t had spam in years, but after @dr rat did his post about spam, it got me to thinking…🤔 I threw a pack of bacon and some spam brushed with Kinder’s on the Traeger @ 300*… Let it on for about 30 mins, then removed the bacon and cranked it up to 400 to finish the spam. All done… Toasted...

    A Question for all you sausage Pros…

    On Saturday I bought a LEM sausage stuffer, and now I’m just itching to make some sausage! I’d like to start with the recipe from Meat Church Jalapeño and Cheddar Sausage . In this recipe it says to use natural hog casings, but what I’m wondering is, will it work to use collagen casings instead?

    Jalapeño Jelly Failure…then (partial) Redemption

    Yesterday I decided to try @DRKsmoking ’s Jalapeño Jelly, so I started by dicing up all my peppers… Put them all in a kettle and boiled it according to the recipe… Where I went wrong, was using powdered fruit pectin instead of liquid pectin, it did not thicken at all!! I also used less sugar...

    My wife made poutine for the first time this evening! I used to get it at restaurants when I was a kid living in Canada, but this beat that by a long shot! Quite simple really! French fries. Cheese curds. Small chunks of roast beef. Beef gravy. (Should be as hot as possible to help melt...

    Ideas for making homemade jalapeño seasoning…

    My wife planted 2 jalapeño pepper plants this past spring, and they went crazy! I have probably two more buckets worth still on the plants, and I’m looking for ideas on making homemade jalapeño seasonings… I sliced a few in half, and have them in the dehydrator.
