    The eggs completely covered the ribeye. Gravy for the win!

      That looks great and the set up is awesome. A dutch oven is my next cast iron addition.

    First of many batches of venison jerky. SnS Kamado with the FireBoard+Fan kept the temperature locked at *censored* F. Wasn’t sure how a kamado would handle dehydrating but it did great.

      That Garlic Jalapeno rub is one of my favorites! Goes good on everything!

    Unexpectedly delicious - grilled romaine with balsamic vinaigrette, crispy country ham bits, and fresh grated parmesan. I was inspired by the the Netflix special featuring Lennox Hastie who managed to earn a Michelin star with a restaurant cooking with only fire. My wife greenlighted my half hearted offer to try it, and I'm glad I did. It was very good, unlike the the rest of what I cooked.

    Not pictured: very disappointing yard bird. Despite spatchcock and seasoning, I've had more interesting Wonderbread.

      That looks great! I loved that episode on Netflix, watching it again right now.

    I give you: Chili Colorado (literally, "Chili with Color").

    It is similar to Texas-style chili, except it does not use any "spicy" spices (cayenne, etc.) but relies on the rich, earthy flavor of Mexican dried chiles.

    This is the best chili I have ever made to date (full disclosure, I have yet to try Troutman's!). I followed Sam the Cooking Guys's recipe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMmlqF2y82Q) with one significant exception. Sam dices the chuck roast, seasons it, then browns it in a skillet. I elected to smoke it over hickory in my PBC and it WAS AMAZING.

    Last night, I started a dry brine with Meat Church's (Matt Pitman) Holy Cow Rub, which is a Texas-style brisket rub. This was my first time using it on anything other than eggs.

    Here's 3.5 lb of USDA Select chuck roast about to go in the fridge.

    Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG-5143.JPG Views:	4 Size:	3.10 MB ID:	1130368

    I got it on my PBC early and used two chunks of hickory.

    Click image for larger version  Name:	rolling.jpg Views:	4 Size:	95.5 KB ID:	1130369

    I kept my PBC between 285-300 the entire cook. I wasn't exactly sure when I wanted to pull it. I decided it would be the three-hour mark or when it hit the stall. I pulled it at 150 F, which is when the bark was perfectly set and also happened to be the three-hour mark so that worked out well.

    I then let it rest/cool while I prepped the rest of the ingredients for the chili, which comprises several guajillo, ancho, and hatch chilis rehydrated and liquified in a blender, plus some onions, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, and Mexican oregano. (I am very lucky that dried chilies are readily available at my local grocery store.)

    I diced up the chuck roast into small cubes. Wow, this sliced perfectly. And that Holy Cow rub is excellent! If you like black pepper, it is wonderful. Wonderful beefy flavor in that chuck! I actually had to stop myself from snacking on the cubes. I needed to save some for the chili!

    In everything goes.....

    Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG-5147.JPG Views:	4 Size:	3.20 MB ID:	1130372

    After simmering for four hours, chili intensified in color and flavor and the meat was perfectly tender. And yes, the chili really is that red.

    Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG-5148.JPG Views:	4 Size:	2.21 MB ID:	1130370

    I served it with some corn pudding (creamed corn, fresh corn, cornmeal, eggs, condensed milk, and seasonings), whose sweetness perfectly balanced the spice of the chili. (Adam Ragusea Corn Pudding recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpmzN4HFbHs)

      I can eat Chili Colorado, extra spicy, by the quart. Husband is always amazed at how much I can put away at our fav Tex-Mex restaurant, swilling down a margarita (rocks, salt) from a stemmed glass, the circumference of which is bigger than my face! Ahhhh. Perfect meal.

      I like what you did with one of my fav foods. I may walk your way with that recipe. Thanks so much for posting it.

    Here's a better shot of the corn pudding. It is very rich. (There's an entire can of condensed milk in the thing!)

      Is it too early for a turkey post? My mom wanted to do the turkey this year so I cooked mine today. This was a pasture raised bird and I spatchcocked, dry brined, and then just seasoned with salt and pepper. Smoked at around 325 for just over 2 hours. Looked great and tasted just as good.

        That looks moist and cooked to perfection

      Made a New York style maple cheesecake this morning. Smells heavenly and it is mostly keto. I used a monk fruit sugar substitute and sugar free maple syrup. Had to stay with the graham cracker crust though. Approaching burnt on the top, next time I'll reduce the initial temp from 500* to 475 or 450. There will be a cooked down maple syrup topping later. Supposed to have walnuts in the topping but IMO nuts are too be eaten on their own and don't belong in food.

        SheilaAnn - 500* for the first 15 minutes, then you drop the temp to 200*, cook for an additional hour, then turn off the oven, open the door 1/2 way and leave for 1/2 an hour, then refrigerate. A different technique for sure, can't wait to try it.

        pkadare I feel much better now. My method is similar. Start high, then lower. I also do a water bath.

        The tops of yours look flawless. But here’s a trick I learned: after you pour the batter, lift it an inch or two off the counter and drop. Do this a few times to release any air bubbles to prevent cracking.

      Kids out of school this week..... That means.....

        SheilaAnn - I do that trick but another issue (and a really important one) is the amount of butter I like to put in. She does not like the amount of butter I use and so I defer. The nice thing is that my kids will be home around the holidays AND my mom will cook the eggs at least once during that time. Gonna get My scrambled eggs on!
