Thankful but tired of ham and turkey.

So I have a brisket marinating with an enhanced dry rub.

I will let you know on the 27th. Maybe. Because you know how I am. Might be a few days before I log back in.

What times dinner? Goin to my Uncles house and he's got smoked ribs with a apple bacon BBQ sauce. Oh ya.

Okay so you guys want the best crockpot mac and cheese on the planet? Try this;

3 cups uncooked pasta ( little shells or elbows)
15 oz Campbells cream of cheddar soup
3 cups shredded cheese ( sharp cheddar, monteray jack or whatever)
2 tablespoons butter
2 2/3 cups half and half.


Place soup, half and half and butter in the crockpot. Mix it up a bit. Throw in the pasta and half the cheese. Mix again. Then throw the rest of the cheese on top and cook on low for 2 hours.

Now if you wanted to throw in some ground up sausage, or peas or whatever else you like in there go for it!

Where's my pen and paper? I need to write this one down.

Cav it's great. I tried those little maple flavored Jimmy Dean sausage. Microwaved them for 45 seconds to cook a bit, ground them up in my hands, tossed it in and wow!

So the rub I used was store bought. But I added to it. It was the McCormick cowboy rub.
2 tablespoon onion po
2 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoon raw cane sugar. Cane harvesting just ended. They had good weather to get the crop in.
1 tablespoon coffee grounds.

Poured everything into a larger container. Shook it up real good. Rubbed the brisket with spicy brown mustard. Rubbed that rascal down with the rub. Wrapped in Saran Wrap and aluminum foil for twenty four hours.

There is none left. Everybody was fat and happy.

Did the cilantro overpower the other ingredients? I'm kind of leary of cilantro. Too much isn't good.
What did you serve them on?

I think it is said that half the population does not have a taste for cilantro while the other half thinks it is heaven. I fall into the "can't stand" cilantro crowd as I think it tastes like a spoiled herb and it totally overpowers everything it is put in. I also don't like tequila and think it tastes like dirt. My family and all my friends LOVE mexican food and once a month everyone goes out to a local Mexican joint (sometimes 30 people strong). I'm always invited, but rarely go as I see it as unsatisfying. I tell the wife and kids to go ahead without me. I feel I can close my eyes, point to the menu and it will taste exactly the same as every other thing on the menu. When we do taco night at home, I usually make something else for myself. It is one ethnic cuisine that I just don't get.
