Made Delicious BBQ

It was pretty easy.

3lb of boneless pork ribs
1 carton of beef broth
KC Masterpiece Honey BBQ sauce

1. We put the ribs in the crock pot with about 20-22 oz of beef broth. Left on high for 4 hours.
2. Take the meat out after 4 hours and pull apart. Pre-heat oven to 350.
3. Put pulled apart meat and as much BBQ sauce as you want into an iron skillet. Put in the oven for the 30 minutes.
4. Eat deliciously.

It was pretty good. It's another one that Chris is going to bring to work with him, so I must be getting good at this thing.

Epic Meatloaf

Or as Campbell's calls it "Souper Meatloaf".

It was really most delicious, and Chris said that it was the best thing I've ever made, so I think that it may just be a win all around.

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
1 (10.75 ounce) can Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular, 98% Fat Free or 25% Less Sodium)
2 pounds ground beef
1 pouch Campbell's® Dry Onion Soup and Recipe Mix
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup water

Instructions:
1. Mix thoroughly 1/2 cup mushroom soup, beef, onion soup mix, bread crumbs and egg. Shape firmly into 8x4-inch loaf in baking pan.
2. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour 15 minutes or until done.
3. Mix 2 tablespoons drippings, remaining mushroom soup and water. Heat through. Serve with meat loaf.

Seriously? It was amazing. As was the gravy. I've not ever made meatloaf or gravy, so I feel as though I may be the best cook in the world after that one.

To top it off? Chris brought it for work for leftovers the next day. He NEVER eats leftovers.

New Years Resolution

My new years resolution is to cook 4 new recipes a week, which means that I should be blogging at least four times a week. Ideally.

Tonight we tried Basil Burgers, another allrecipes.com recipe, and I failed yet again. The recipe, I'm sure is good, and I followed all but one thing. Instead of cooking it outside, I cooked it on our stove. Here's the recipe, C&Ped for your liking. It's definitely worth trying... just don't cook it on the stove, then realize the middle's not cooked, and then nuke it in the microwave so its drier than it would've been (basil tries it out).

Here ya go:

Ingredients:
1 1/4 pounds ground beef
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons dried basil, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 hamburger buns, split

Recipe:
1. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
2. In a bowl, mix the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, basil, garlic salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into 4 burger patties.
3. Lightly oil the grill grate, and cook burgers about 6 minutes, turning once, to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), or to desired doneness. Serve on hamburger buns.

We added ketchup and mustard to our burgers, and actually ate them on potato rolls (which we prefer). Chris liked them, but said next time that HE'D be cooking them on the charcoal grill outside. Womp womp.

Tomorrow I'm getting some mouth surgery, so I may not be making anything fantastic unless I can find an amazing soft recipe. But really, should you be cooking medicated? We shall see.
