Mac Rib Skillet ~ Featuring Country Style Shoulder Ribs in the Center Ring

[thirdeye]

For this cook... I decided to combine one of my favorite barbecue meats, with a favorite side in a skillet meal. My plan was to start with some country style shoulder ribs and cook them indirect in the 250° range. Seasonings were cracked pepper, Cimarron Doc's and The Gospel.

Normally I take country ribs to a sliceable doneness, but for this dish I wrapped and went with fall-off-the-bone tenderness.

For the mac and cheese I used half & half, whipped cream cheese, smoked gouda, Gruyere and cheddar, then a couple of shakes of Cimarron Doc's. The jalapeno was huge and the hottest in a long time, so I nixed dicing it up and went with 3 thick slices. Toppings were a little Panko and some green onion.

I've used smoked gouda and sauteed onions in scrambled eggs for years. A friend that was a line cook at a steak house made his scalloped potatoes using Gruyere and it was fantastic. I've been experiencing with cream cheese in certain things... so basically, I put a little of each in.

I normally like my mac and cheese to be just that, however, I would dive into that creation in a heartbeat and just hope I don't hurt anybody that gets in my way too seriously!

Out of the park
Congrats on the feature.
Did you add onion to the mac-n-cheese? I like a touch of onion but most people do not.

I added some chopped green onion tops as a garnish.
