    Simple supper. Most people make this with some type of ham. I like that too, but the bacon and the fat gives it a nice flavor. Just a tad of vinegar, NOT vinegary like a hot German Potato Salad. Need to use fresh green beans. Salt, pepper and I sprinkled some freeze-dried chives on top.

    Being able to use a charcoal grill is a wonderful thing. When I'm grilling steaks, my go-to method has always been a couple of pats of butter with every flip. That is now a thing of the past. My new secret weapon is beef tallow with every flip....ooops the cats out the bag. Words cannot describe the finished product; I slapped my own self it was that good!!

    I have been doing the same thing, since about 3 or 4 months ago. It's a different flavor but the sear and taste is off the hook good. Even with something as simple as a burger.

    This thread needs a resurrection.
    Saw a pork belly on sale. $5 for a 2 pounder.
    Smoked/roasted to internal 202F, under the broiler for a few minutes, chopped, and turned into "street tacos" with Asian slaw and Sriracha mayo.

    Right!! I do an all-steak chili done the same way as above, cook in the ingredients, cool down, fridge and start slow cooking it over again. I just use chuck but it is soooo tender by the time it's ready to eat.

    I made a variation with field peas, smoked sausage, rotel, and I cooked the rice in the liquid so it was almost like a jambalaya texture. No pics here either. It tends not to be the prettiest food, but that and cornbread make great football food.

    Okay, this may not look appealing to some of you, but if you like Indian cuisine, this is what I made tonight. Chickpea and broccoli curry with some masala seasoned chicken added at the end, skillet fried in ghee separately.

    Doc tells me I need to get rid of the pasta, rice, carbs. I'm trying...
    BTW, this is a shallow bowl. I had two+ bowls.

    How do you prepare a Rotel for cooking, I would thing a food processor would have a hard time with capacitors and circuit boards. Power supplies are a whole other issue. Do you boil them first like potatoes?
