Good Morning!! I want to share our results from the IP cooking marathon yesterday. Success!!!
The hit for entree was my ribs, Yes, youi heard me....Novice that I am, I won entree by a mile!
I bought USDA Prime baby back because they were on sale, and removed the membrane. Dry them and linreally use a good rub. I used Bone Suckin Sauce dry rub, but I would make my own next time Let them "marinate" a while.
Add 1/2 cup organic apple cider vinegar, 1/4 tsp liquid smoke, and about 3/4 cup water to the IP pot, and tehn teh trivet. Wrap two racks of ribs around the pot, on the trivet, and set for manual 25 minutes. I set 30, and they were fall off the bovine tender, so I would reduce just a tad. Natural release 10 minutes, and then place on a disposable pan, glaze with your favorite BBQ sauce and broil til the glaze is bubbling. Freakin' delicious!!!
Marisa brought two cheesecakes she made the evening before: peanut butter cup and Cheesecake #17 topped with cherries. YUM! She won dessert!
Marisa made the Onions soup casserole, and that is on my list. I have to buy more ingredients because she had so much chicken she doubled the recipe, so I am adding them to my Peapod list. It was outstanding, but truely, I would make my onions soup and call it a day. Her "gravy" was delicious!
Jeannie made Mac and cheese, and that also was a game changer for me. She added bacon, but said that she has added lobster to make it extra special.
Donny made potato soup. It was okay, but he followed a recipe that gave the option for thicker or thinner, Anna asked for thicker. As it cooled the texture got weird, too much starch, I think. He is going to try it with a sweet potato next.
Dan and Erica made honey garlic chicken. Outstanding!!!
I had gotten all the ingredients together for butter chicken, but there was just too much food, so we skipped it. I sent the chicken home with Marisa, and stored my mis en place till this week.
Today is pot roast for Bud and me. I am trying the Mississippi recipe that Jeannie uses, and like her I will sub out the pepperoncini (sp) for mild banana peppers. I am old school with pot roast, so this is a huge leap for me.
