What did everyone cook today?
-
Being cold and windy out called for good old fashioned ND comfort food. I’m sure many of you are familiar with this staple. I present to you the utilitarian but satisfying Tater Tot Hotdish.
ND Mike never had that before, but it looks tasty. What is the ground meat?
-
Well, here are the 4 1/2 days of Ham Bean Soup. Started with Pork Bone broth for a few days of simmering.
Then comes the basics to get everything ready. 
calldoctoday I love the building of the final product over x days. I and you guys know the process. But, many just think it happens in 10 mins.
-
GWG8541 it was ground beef. It is super easy and very good.
-
calldoctoday that Single Barrel will help keep you healthy. Its made with Tennessee spring water.
GWG8541 I like that single barrel. I just wish I could afford more of it.

zbigjeff Thank you, I really appreciate that. I thought that might add a nice little twist to it all. The Bone broth, Hot Bones & Peppers, Anticipation, Bones & Beans, The end of the line, etc. It definitely is process. You can see all the bones at the end too. I like using the Great Northern Beans & the Mayacoba beans. They have a real nice texture & taste for this meal in a pot. How did you like the photo of all those bones, or what was left of them, after the bone broth simmer was complete, before starting on the actual soup? I thought that would make an interesting twist to everything. They are not to be wasted still though. They went deep, deep into the compost pile to now turn into bone meal for the compost pile. Been doing it for years & it works great.

calldoctoday You’re welcome. Plus, that product actually even gets better (aka: like chili) days after finished. Yay for your family. That product cannot be found easily in any restaurant.

zbigjeff Oh Yes, That is why I had to add one more photo to the sequence, “The Day After”. It just keeps getting better & better. Well, I suppose there is a limit, but we have been known to stretch it a bit. Those beans just soak that bone broth flavor up. I get the beans to just slightly firm & soft, but not mushy. Then we cook it no longer in the pot. I love it! Believe or Not, even though my recipe calls for some salt, I used absolutely zero salt in this batch because the flavor was coming through so intensely & apparently there must have been enough salt in the bones & meat tidbits that leached out, there was absolutely no reason to salt this batch, even for the last of the big time salt lovers!

Surg thanks! Really pretty easy meal to make.
-
wdaly it is good stuff for sure!
-
ND Mike I am going to make it again soon, thanks for bringing it up.

Then comes the basics to get everything ready. calldoctoday I don’t think your butcher block is thick enough, it needs at least another 1/8" of thickness!
-
Chef wow that looks great. That picture looks like it is from a cooking magazine. I can only imagine it tastes even better than it looks.
GWG8541 Thank you. I have always though my weakest link as a chef is presentation.

HerbcoFood calldoctoday I have that very chopping board. Fantastic tool for the kitchen.
The end cut is the key to a great chopping board. It allows healing to a much greater extent than side cut boards.
For anyone who cooks a lot, I recommend getting one great chopping board. Your kids will fight over which one gets it… LOL

I have problems making pretty food sometimes, but these ham and beans are incredible on taste. Excalibur Five Pepper Blend was added while soaking the hambone and Butter Garlic and Applewood Rub was added when the beans were. Cooked on low in a crockpot for 10 hours. Pulled the bone after cooking, the meat fell right off. Drained the broth. Delicious!! Good use of way too early Thanksgiving leftovers.

Root beer and maple syrup injected turkey. Smoked about 7 hours. Turned out awesome. Definitely recommend injecting and smoking whole turkey.
