mississippi roast






I have been seeing this recipe all over pinterest, and I must admit I was super hesitant at first. Pepperchines with a roast? Who in their right mind would do that? But let me tell you, this roast did not disappoint, in fact I totally ditched my old way of fixing roasts and this is my go to now!

The pepperchines add just a little bit of a kick, but I wouldn’t even call it a kick it’s not spicy at all, in fact my daughter who likes no spice at all loves this roast!

 what you need

     1 chuck roast (4-5lbs)
1 packet ranch dressing/dip mix
1 packet au jus
1 stick butter 5
pepperoncini peppers

you just pile everything into your crockpot and let it go for 8-10 hours on low!
then when its done it should look like this!


look at that yumminess you can serve it just like this but I like to slice it and throw it back in the juices on the warm setting for another hour mmmm it just melts in your mouth!

Southern Fried Pork Chops



Our budget is super tight right now, and thin pork chops are always super cheap!  I normally have a few ways I always fix pork chops but decided to try something different! And this recipe didn’t disappoint! Crunchy outside smothered in yummy gravy, and of course paired with a loaded baked potato and green beans! This meal was a hit with the whole family!

One package Boneless Pork chops
1 Cup Flour
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp Onion powder
1 Tbsp Paprika
Oil
1 egg
milk

Poor oil into your frying pan, to about halfway full, and turn the temp up to about med-hi. While waiting for the oil to heat up go ahead and make your egg and milk mixture. 1 large egg and 1 equal part milk. This is what will hold your flour to your meat. Now in a plate mix your flour, garlic salt, onion powder, paprika together. Take your pork chop and dip into the eggs first, then the flour mix, you can repeat these steps to make a thicker crust but this time I didn’t! Place your pork chops into the oil, let them fry for about 15 minutes. Carefully flip them over and fry for another 10 minutes. Always check to make sure they are done by taking one out and cutting through the middle to check for color. A light pink and white is what you're looking for or a full white for those who like a dry chop. One they are done take them out and let them dry on a plate with a paper towel!! 

i know i know i have really been slacking on takeing photos of the whole process, please forgive me :)

country style boneless ribs



I was not planning on posting this today but I had a ton of friends on Facebook like my photo so I decided to go ahead and post! I don’t have any photos from while I was making them but its super easy, made in the crockpot and s0o very yummy!
Ok so first things first, I feel the base of a good BBQ is the rub you use! You can make your own and I do most times but the other half of the time I use this 

It is delicious, it’s pretty expensive on amazon, I don’t pay that much when I buy it at the store. But it sure doses make for top notch BBQ!


Ingredients
Boneless country style ribs
Dry rub
Favorite BBQ sauce

And that’s it, for a lot of things no need to go over the top with ingredients
 Sometimes it’s better to fallow the motto keep it simple stupid! Sprinkle the dry rub all over your ribs, then rub it in, throw those bad boys into the crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours! That’s it, no need to add liquid or anything! Now you can pull them right out of the crockpot slap some bbq sauce on them and eat as is! But to take it up a notch, put them on a baking sheet, slather them with sauce and broil them on high for just a few minutes!

Mmm mmmm mmmmm finger licking good!!

For the asparagus I just wrapped those suckers and baked them in the oven at 400 for 25-30 minutes! I see other recipes where they add a bunch of stuff and poor it over them but I honestly feel the bacon and the asparagus is the perfect flavor combo on its own!
