Ok, here's another recipe that we love. Bacon Cheeseburger casserole. It is a little involved but it makes a lot and reheats very well. Like most casseroles it gets better with age.
Ingredients
2lbs hamburger meat
1 lb ground pork or breakfast sausage
1.5 lb pack of wright's thick cut bacon apple or hickory smoked
An onion and most of a garlic
A head of cauliflower
Stubbs beef rub
Stubbs BBQ rub
Cheese Sauce
1 cup cream
1 cup half n half
2 cups grated cheese and some extra
I like Tillamook farm style 4 cheese blend and cheddar
Cut up bacon into large bits and fry
Start steaming cauliflower to soften
Dice onions and garlic and cook in bacon fat
When onions are softened add meat to skillets and season with Stubbs rubs
Put softened cauliflower in casserole dish and mash coarsely with a potato masher, add salt and pepper, grated cheese and bacon bits
Add browned meat to casserole dishes
In the next episode cheese sauce and finishing up

Time to make cheese sauce. It took me a long time to figure out how to make cheese sauce. The key is 1 to 1 cream/half-n-half or slightly more cheese, keeping the temp under a simmer and patience. Add liquid and spices to a pan and bring to a simmer stirring often. Turn burner down to low and move the pan to the side of the burner so that the liquid never simmers again. Cheese Sauce breaks and separates when it is reheated to a simmer/boil again. S-l-o-w-l-y add cheese while stirring continuously letting it all melt before adding more. Monitor the heat. Continue to add cheese and stir, this will take longer than you think it should and longer than you want to stir. But, the reward is some good cheese sauce! You can then add Rotel and sausage or whatever you want for healthy (non-hydrogenated-soybean oil velveeta fake cheese) cheese dip too.
This cheese is the bomb, grating your own is better but this will do.
Yum, eat it with a spoon!
I add thyme, sage, Stubbs rubs,
Pour sauce over the casseroles
Gently mix the cheese sauce into the meat while trying to leave the cauliflower on the bottom undisturbed
Put it into the oven at 300ish for 30 minutes or so to cook it all together. Stir every 10 minutes or so. Eat it for days!

Re: Official 2017 BBQ, Smoking, Grilling, Baking and Beer thread
Costco has been selling bags of finely diced cauliflower (CauliRice). It can be microwaved/steamed in the bag and is perfect for making cauliflower rice, mashed cauliflower or adding it pizza dough to make a crust. Definitely more expensive than a head of cauliflower but man is it convenient.

HAHAHAHA!!!!! Nice!!! Looks good man!
I can see coca-cola/Dr. Pepper working with pork, when making carnitas (the real way, fried) they actually add a can of coca-cola to the frying process towards the end.

Boneless Ribeye Roast on the Big Green Egg
Calling all meat-eaters!! So I decided to get off my lazy rear and go buy some lump charcoal for my BGE. I only use the BGE brand hickory hardwood charcoal. Luckily my favorite mom & pop pool shop is a BGE distributor as well so I can get all my Egg products while stocking on some very low-priced muriatic acids. They also stock Taylor reagent refills so...WIN-WIN!! It's been super-unseasonably warm this past week (temps in the high 80's), so it was a perfect day to be at the grille.
Ok, basically it's a 5lb ribeye roast form the Kansas City Steak Company (it was a Christmas gift....yes, my wife loves me that much that she would buy me overpriced, mail-order meat!!). Here is is in it's naked state -
Add the sea salt and the Mr. Stubbs Beef Rub -
Made up a tray of cut sweet potato to cook on the gas grille -
After a couples of hours in the smoke at 250F, here's the roast -
First slice -
Served with a favorite beer and ENJOY -

Wow! It's like the Mt. Vesuvius of cheesy meatloaf!
Dude, you really need the pan...I'm putting one on my Christmas list for you. Either you get the pan or Santa sticks it in your smoke-hole... :santa:

But, look at all that yummy gravy! And will it hold a meatloaf with 4lbs of meat, 1-1/2lbs of bacon and a lb of cheese? We aren't making AZ sized meatloaf over here!

Re: Official 2017 BBQ, Smoking, Grilling, Baking and Beer thread
To do it right, the stew needs some thickness to the broth. Add a little cornstarch at the end (mix it into a little red wine, about 1 tbsp per 1/4 cup of wine) to make the broth thick. Then ladle it into a deep bowl with a bed of cooked egg noodles.
Mmmmmmmmmm....

This is definitely on my to do list, as I love beef stew and I also love egg noodle's. My wife makes a killer chicken noodle soup with wide egg noodles and I love it. The sirloin was extremely tender and delicious, but a bit spendy . What other type of meat would you recommend? I know I want good marbled meat for flavor and tenderness. I may just stick with the sirloin, as it was killer. I may not wait and just use your modifications and go ahead make it again!

Re: Official 2017 BBQ, Smoking, Grilling, Baking and Beer thread
I usually pick up about 4 lbs of boneless chuck roast and trim it myself into 1" chunks. It's cheaper to buy the chuck roast whole and then trim it. If you cook it in a Dutch oven low & slo, it gets very tender. But you'd need to separate the carrots and potatoes and add those to the pot later, like the last hour or so. Otherwise they get mushy.
