Contine layers of vegies, onions, peppers if you have them, you can even toss in carrots, celery and other veggies… layer them with the onions and bacon!! Cook @350 degrees (F) till soft…
Then add:
1/4 block of cream cheese
1/4 cup of shredded cheese, any flavor… I love smoked aged cheese the best… in a pinch… extra sharp cheddar cheese will work.
1 sleeve ritz crackers
Using a potato masher, smash and mix everything up…
Next, smooth off the top, add more cracker crumbs, cheeses and of course, Bacon!!
Pop back in the oven and cook till the bacon looks crispy…
I hope someone will try this out… it’s been in the family here for many years…
Made these last night, Tim Tam base, chocolate ganache tart with raspberries and whipped cream next time I would make them 2 inch. These were a bit too much
It got to late to smoke the Pork Belly yesterday, just put them in now. Can’t wait for dinner… Got some cherry, haven’t smoked with that before.
You will LOVE it. Just remember with the pork belly, if following Malcolm Reed’s recipe, the braising process is pretty important. Tenderizing and fat rendering are the goal. There will be plenty of visible fat left when done, but it will be like butter…definitely not off-putting. I can’t wait for you to try this!!
Well these turned out great! A little sweeter than how I normally cook but still scoffed them down. Mum n Dad loved them too, none left so I take it the chef like them.
Improvised when I couldn’t find apple jelly, added fresh apple n dried cranberries.
You can never get better confirmation than that!! Well done my friend.
Ok, here in the US, today is the “Big Game.” It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and what do we Americans do for game day? Why, chicken wings of course.
I followed this recipe for the most part…
Ok, I followed it 90ish percent. The finishing sauce he uses 3 tbsp of Cayenne powder. I cut that to 2, which for me ended up perfect. But Mrs Mixer is yet to eat, and I don’t know what she’ll think. I would guess she’ll smile, say “whew” a few times then go back for seconds. This is a delicious way to make chicken. I want to do this with boneless breast and make a sandwich out of it. Next time.
Why, you seem to know just what I need to eat…I’ll make these through the week. Maybe not with 3 tbsp of Cayenne, plus the hot sauce in the milk and egg. That would be damn spicy.
I’ve always made fried chicken with flour, egg then bread crumbs. Liked the idea of adding a little of the liquid to the flour for extra crunch.
The pork belly must have been good my brother was telling mum about them today. The whole place still smells like smoke.
Actually, I don’t know if it’s the buttermilk that calms down the spice from the hot sauce, but that heat doesn’t really penetrate the chicken. I started using this same bath for chicken a few months ago, following a Paula Deen recipe. The exact amounts I use are 2-1/2 cups buttermilk, 2 eggs and 1/4 cup hot sauce. I use Frank’s Red Hot which is a good bit milder than say Tobasco or Texas Pete which I’m also familiar with. I would say a hot sauce that would flame you up with 1 drop on the tongue would not be good thing to use. Unless you’re just into pain
