Once again.... WHATS COOKING?!

[Monkey Man]

Dan'll still find a way to fuck it up.

I'm that way with technology too. If it weren't for my OCD and insistence that I persevere with every damned little friggin' detail, my computer, its contents and my posts would be a dog's breakfast. Hang on... my posts are a dog's breakfast, which only goes to illustrate the point.

Don't worry Dan. It ain't worth the hassle, man. Just ask Cheech - would Chong bother or care?

Used to use photobucket all the time when I was selling gear.
I think I finally found the key to post these now.
What’s cooking this weekend folks?
I’m not sure yet. It’s 7am Saturday and I’m moving slow getting ready for work.
Haven’t made oven baked BBQ spareribs in a while. Every once in a while the store like marks them 60 percent off and I usually buy a lot of the meat then.

10 drumsticks for $4.00?
I buy few packs. Toss em In the freezer.

My wife just did spare ribs the other night in the oven. I usually slow cook them on the Weber but couldn't that day so she did in the oven. Dry rub for the cook and then coated in BBQ and broiled at the end.

Love drummies. One of my favorites. I'm going to dig up a pic. Shit now I'm starving

I've been drooling over that sausage/egg/cheese casserole pic of yours for weeks, and yesterday went out and got the ingredients. I went with a recipe that does not have bread or mozzarella, but did call for cottage cheese which I forgot pick up. Still turned out damn good though. It also called for 10 eggs and I only had 8, but that was a good thing because it still baked up to the top of the casserole dish and would've went over and burned ass with 10 eggs.

^Thanks DBN!
Yeah, cottage cheese sounds like a great idea.
I sometimes do the bread thing, sometimes not.
If you do, you'll notice it kind of floats upward as it rises.
On the 8 egg thing - sometime things happen for a reason

Here are some drummies from last year.

Some left plain (powder coat only) and some sauced in Q and some in Buffalo.

Yum.

Even if the recipe calls for it, I don't put any bread/croutons into my casseroles and you can quote me on that.



I make one with celery, hamburger and some cream of whatever soups. It calls for croutons but they soak up the moisture and flavor and turn into a salty, mushy mess. Pretty much ruins the meal.

My all-time favorite is corned beef casserole. The next time I make it I'll post a pic. Corned beef, egg noodles, diced onion, cream of chicken soup, almond milk and velveeta with some of NFA's spice mix and black pepper. It's so good I can hardly stand it.

That's totally old-school, man. Absolutely love it, but haven't had it since I was a kid...

I didn't discover corned beef casserole until I was in my early 40s, which may or may not be a good thing.

I pulled 4 racks of ribs from the freezer on Friday to thaw. They were ready to go yesterday, so I put on a generous amount of dry rub (brown sugar, Paprika, Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder and Cayenne Pepper) and wrapped them in foil. I like to give them 24-48 hours in the fridge before cooking. It's looking like we'll do that on tomorrow. 3 hours in the oven at 335° F, rest for 30 minutes, unwrap and finish on the grill with BBQ sauce...

I found my best ribs (year or so ago). Same temp:time and Indy.
Maybe about at the 2 hour mark I would pull em out. Flip em. But also slice em between the bones. But not all the way. Still connected. Then add the bbq sauce.
Plop em back in the oven.

I cut the full racks into thirds before wrapping them in foil. It makes them (roughly) portion sized, plus they are so tender when you pull them out of the oven, you can't really work with them as full racks. They fall apart if you pick them up. After they rest I splash on some BBQ sauce and give them about 5 minutes per side on a hot grill to caramelize the sauce before serving.

I tried cooking ribs for years with varying degrees of failure before I landed on this approach. They are perfect every time, so this has been my "Go to" for about 5 years now.

Damn man. Never thought of wrapping them in foil.
I’ve done the whole pan in foil
You’ve opened my eyes.

Damn. Thanks brother

Works, Every. Time.

Thanks man. I was always ‘struggling’ with the whole rack.
This aproach is genius!

If you're interested, here's the dry rub recipe. This amount will heavily coat a single rack. I triple it when I'm doing 4 racks and it comes out just about perfect.

½ Cup Brown sugar
3 t Paprika
2 t Salt
2 t Pepper
2 t Onion Powder
2 t Garlic Powder
1-½ t Cayenne Pepper

I don't eat a lot of bread and croutons either.

Velveeta is the key to that recipe. Not sure how I feel about almond milk - too sweet for me.

I use unsweetened almond milk. I went to the grocery store this morning and they were sold out of corned beef, lol. All the best corned beef sandwich meat was sold out too, so had to settle for the cheap stuff.
