Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I had some silver Queen this evening. Love it so much more than the yellow.

 

Corn salad made.....figured it'd be a decent taco topping.



































Pintos were cooked....then drained & smashed....put in a hot skillet and topped with hot sauce & cheeses.

 

dang now thats a meal

 

Kicking it simple here......trying a couple dishes that'll likely make it into my family's "Dad don't change it" list.


The corn salad is a keeper......and the homebrew frijoles are way, way better than the canned stuff.....and not hard to cook....just take some time. A Dutch oven, crockpot or other would likely dial it in with ease.





Made my plate and stuffed myself with it.













Just realized that there i zero meat on that plate. Dangitman.....I'll rectify this at breakfast.

 

Could do them in an instantpot would probably make it quick for the beans. As for now meat, we will forgive this time as long as you eat twice as much tomorrow. Have to keep them meat sources in check.

 

Gonna double down on protein for breakfast, lol.

I normally soak 'em in water overnight.....but in this case I was hoping for more bite in them.....used a potato masher to smash them and then work into them some more ingredients.

They look ugly....no real way to make frijoles look tasty, I suppose.

Flavor was great. I've using a bit more homebrew AP rub after running out of Killer Hogs AP. Pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and salt....in defending amounts. Still working on getting the ratio dialed in, but it's added great flavor and easy.

 

It's great, try it. With burgers though, have to be careful since it will make them "looser" and more prone to falling apart it not handled easily.

 

Exactly... who's cooking breakfast?!

 

Would be a tough call... Both?

 

That'll work, you just have to account for the water content of the corn while it cooks. Adding too much water to burger ends up turning it into meat-goo.

 

Mmmmmmm meat-goo.

 

was timid to google "meat goo"...

McDonalds owns that search...

 

Ya except they wussed out and don't use meat goo anymore. Damn PC world.

 

Cranked this guy out last night on the traeger

 

and now you're making us all breakfast?

 

...

means eat more beef

 

We will get even with them for burping up so much methane.

 

kind of paradox...eat more beef reduces greenhouse gas, but creates more demand for beef...LOL

 

Sure..... somebody from ID WOULD post a chart showing potatoes as being ecofriendliest lol

 

I didnt even notice that...lol actually washington and oregon have more potato's than idaho...just for your information
