Now THAT looks quite tasty Mike. Might have to give that a shot although I'd have to either find very mild green chilis or skip them entirely as I don't tolerate chili spice very well.

It wasn’t spicy; however, I can tolerate very spicy food. My wife can’t anymore so I now make things mild. I used mild enchilada sauce and mild tomatoes and chili. HERE is the recipe.

Got it. Thanks!

Here for the weekend meals we've got teriyaki-pineapple marinated pork tenderloin, Southern fried cabbage, and Spaghetti aglio e olio dishes planned. Nothing real fancy. Just good eats.

Following up on the previous post above, here are the pork tenderloin and fried cabbage dishes getting prepped for an early dinner today.

That cabbage looks amazing. Any chance of getting a recipe?

Hickory smoked pork(Boston Butt) with mashed spuds and pork gravy, baked spinach casserole, and finished with some Southern Blackberry cobbler ice cream. Maybe even a "combat nap" in my recliner after supper.

Jim,
It is quite simple. For mine I used 5 very thick slices of bacon, one whole sweet onion, and a small head of cabbage in a cast iron skillet. I waited until the cabbage was about half cooked before adding the crumbled crisp bacon back in though.

Thanks, we'll give it go.

Jim,
Also some folks like adding smoked sausage or other protein they like to augment the bacon in the fried cabbage.

Tonight I’m making crock pot pot roast.
2 1/2 pound of roast
Three potatos cut into chunks
Half an onion
Baby carrots (but my picky eaters won’t eat them-so none today)
Little (1/2 tsp) minced garlic
One jar of pace picante sauce (mild- picky eaters here also hate spices)

All of it goes into the crock pot in the order given, and set on low all day

Sometimes I cut the meat into chunks if the meat is more then 3 lbs -so it’ll fit.

Looks fantastic! I really love fried/sautéed cabbage side dishes. I have a recipe for one I really like and the leftovers of it go great as a side with scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast. I will give this one a try!

I have done crock pot recipes, but never seen some type of bag liner used. Please educate me on the purpose. Thanks!

Crockpot stays clean, toss bag when done.

You can find them at Walmart or your grocery store, same aisle as wax paper, Saran Wrap, etc.

Amazon has them too.

Cleaning the crockpot is a quick wipe with a damp cloth.

Just cut a ton of New York strips… Sharpened the knives and went to work this morning.



Next up, a dozen brisket blended burgers on the grill along with some homemade potato salad.

I will have to give this a try, as I love all of the ingredients.

Pot-o'-red beans on the stove. Cornbread shortly.

Oh my!

Big pot of yummy chicken and sausage gumbo, made at minimal cost. Sister grabbed two reduced rotisserie chickens for $1.99 each and two big packages of jalapeno cheese smoked sausage for .99 each. Boned the chickens and simmered carcasses to rich stock a couple of days ago. Froze part of the stock, most of the sausage and a boned chicken. Made a bunch of roux, sauteed with holy trinity (onion, pepper, celery) and garlic, added six cups of stock, a boned chicken, big link of cut-up sausage and package of cut frozen okra with some Tony Chacheres. Cost next to nothing and lots left to freeze, aside from all the leftover chicken, stock and sausage already frozen.
