What's for dinner tonight?

[deerminator]

We're having pulled pork. Got two 5 pounders on the egg style smoker this morning at 7 to smoke for 4 hours at about 250 and now they're in the oven at 225 for the rest of the day until about 5 or so when I'll let them rest before dinner. Geez, I could even step out onto the patio without a coat and bomber hat and thick gloves to do it. Will take pics tonight so I don't violate that man law.

I have half a venison loin I'm going to put a nice rub on, then wrap in bacon and smoke till medium rare.

[pushbutton]

Going to be on the ice…so probably ziplock sloppy joes with pickles and potato chips in the bun. Since it has been two weeks, no doubt after jr goes to bed, desert will be in liquid form

[deerminator]

Mmmmmm. Both sound delicious. We had broiled venison loin last Friday night with some braised red cabbage. BTW, working from home today and watching fish house after fish house get pulled out onto the lake. Plenty of people eating and drinking their dinner out there tonight I bet.

[Xplorer]

For an appetizer, I have both smoked Alaskan red salmon chunks, and a spread for crackers made of the same.

For the main course, I've got a 2.5# top sirloin roast that I put a montreal steak type rub on this morning. That goes on the grill on indirect heat til medium rare. Add to that some steamed whole green beans mixed with a little butter, ground sea salt and toasted almonds. These will be accompanied by an adult beverage of choice, and an after dinner Acid Natural

Tomorrow night I am cooking two tri tip steaks at about 220* until it hits an internal temp of 137. Side dishes will be roasted red potatoes with parmesan and garlic, heck. I might even try a salad with blue cheese crumbles. Of course there will mushrooms sauted in butter and deglazed with bourbon.....

[deerminator]

Wow. Those both sound great too. Here's a pic of the pulled pork from tonight. I lied. I had made two. We had enough for dinner and I sectioned the rest out into three more dinner portions. One for tomorrow night and two that were vacuum packed and slid into the freezer for an easy weeknight meal.

Wife made great tangy coleslaw to put on top of the pork for the sandwiches. When she saw me mixing up the pork after pulling with a little apple cider vinegar she got angry but then admitted it was tasty. The kids won't like it, she said. Don't tell them I said. We didn't and they thought it was great too. Good luck!

[pushbutton]

Oh man those "burnt ends" look awesome, and yep, love the tang of vinegar on a pp sammie!!! So far I have only made doritos and oreos……..

[deerminator]

Nice. I think we'll do that tomorrow. The kids and I like to have venison snack sticks, cheese, crackers and hot chocolate while running tip ups. The lunch of champions.

[minky]

Wow, people on here really know how to eat well! Makes want to get creative for my next meal.

[deerminator]

Ken, do you have a recipe for that. : )

[LABS4ME]

Super easy... I cut it in half... we usually made this in a 9x12 casserole w a larger family

Used an 8x8 casserole this time.

-About a pound of ground beef, pat beef to cover bottom of glass casserole. Season w salt and pepper. I added a little lowrys and garlic powder too.

-Dice 1 small onion and cover ground beef

-Cover onion w/ cheese slices. Growing up it was alawys American cheese, I used Colby jack ths time

-peel and Slice 3-4 potatoes and layer over cheese

-One can cream of mushroom soup over potatoes

Bake uncovered at 350 for one and a half hours, let rest 10 minutes before serving. This makes 4-6 servings

Double the above for 9x12 pan

Good luck!

Tri tip, cooked at 290* until 137* internal temp, asparagus and over roasted spuds

[Bryce]

Appetizers were bacon wrapped walleye chunks. Spur of the moment and we were short on bacon. Ended up with a mixture to test taste and the first time we had done them in the oven. Gouda. Sliced almonds. Jalapeno. BBQ. And a coulple of the above choices also had a taste of BBQ added. Thinking of trying a slice of apple on the next attempt. Honeycrisp?

[DonBo]

Got a rack of ribs going in the smoker right now. Good eats tonight

[delcecchi]

Do you precook the bacon, at least some, so it will be done without overcooking the walleye?

[muskiemanAD]

I didn't get any pictures but I tried to replicate one of my favorite meals. The pulled pork plate with JoJo's from John Hardy's..... Not quite as good as there's but pretty darn close......

[Bryce]

Only cooking 1" squares or so. Bacon and topping seems to insulate the fish a bit. Don't crisp the bacon too much and the fish is just a little overcooked. Bacon, toppings and small size cover that up.

My wife, bless her soul, has aboot 5 gallons of chili going on the stove right now.

I really do feel sorry for the fellas at work tomorrow.
