My Grandfather’s Ham Barbecue Recipe

  • by

This is my grandfathers recipe for Chipped Ham Barbecue. Chipped Ham is extremely thin sliced ham from the butcher or meat department at your local supermarket thats a big staple of Pittsburgh. It’s almost like a Sloppy Joe except the meat isn’t ground up like a chili. You’ll want to get regular or smoked ham, not the maple or flavored kind as it will throw off the taste. Finding chipped ham is easy, you can usually just ask the butcher or deli for them slice it on the smallest setting they have.

Pork Chops with Celery Sauce

  • by

I seen a similar recipe the other day while browsing online and it seemed like it might be worth a try. The local store had some good prices on chops so I grabbed a few and whipped this up. I thought it was pretty easy and has a ton of flavor that is different from the usual pork chops you find in restaurants.

Hot Soy Mustard Sauce

  • by

Here’s a new sauce I tried this week that is a great spin for grilled fish or chicken. You can forgo the chili oil if you want something without any heat but I had to boost it up a bit. I used this as a baste on the grill and it had an awesome flavor that is really fresh and exciting. It can also be used as a dip with some fried wontons or white corn tortilla chips.  Mix about 2 Tablespoons of this with the juice of 4-5 limes to make a great marinade that works on any meat.

Breaded Pork Chops

I haven’t had a good breaded pork chop for quite some time. When I seen a good special on pork chops at the store I had to grab some to cook up for a stick to your ribs dinner. Here’s an easy recipe you can use to whip up some great breaded pork chops. You can use Italian breadcrumbs and serve with a side of pesto linguini for a filler upper that’s easy to cook and easy on the wallet.

Fry up until it's a nice golden brown, no need to overcook them since their going in the oven to finish.

Baked Mostaccioli

This is a basic Sunday recipe to feed a few people on the cheap. Same recipe as lasagna just with different noodles, so you can make this with just about any type of starch. For a southwest style you can use taco sauce and Cheddar cheese with some Tapatio hot sauce.

Sweet Chile and Habanero Sauce

I love making this sauce, it’s perfect on just about everything. I use it on baked potatoes, steak, chicken, fish, shrimp, pizza, french fries, toast, noodles, rice, vegetables….. on and on. There’s a little asian market that as the sweet chile sauce for cheap, which is a great sauce on it’s own. Once you whip this up, you’ll see how great it goes on everything, it’s just a great combination of sweet, salty, and spicy.

This weekend I was making breakfast and made biscuits, only because I had a tube that I wanted to get rid of. While I was making Bacon, I decided to go with a sausage gravy idea, so I whipped this up and it came out pretty good. it’s a really easy recipe and it was all stuff that I had anyways so it cost next to nothing for me to have breakfast and lunch.

Homemade Cured Bacon

  • by

I found this instructable on making your own cured bacon. It was taken from a recipe out of  Charcuterie. This would make for a really neat weekend project, plus it will give you the option to add your own seasonings and flavors…. maybe a Sweet Habanero Breakfast Bacon.
