Cooking for the week...

LMAJ · Oct 19, 2008

The weather has turned cool here in PA and my thoughts turned to chili and chowder.
I just put on 2 chuckies which will be pulled for chili and tacos, 2 fattys, and will be putting on some bacon wrapped chicken breasts to be put into some chicken corn chowder. I've never put bacon in corn chowder but I can't see how it could be bad

Pics to follow....

You tease. I thought I was gonna see the pics already. :biggrin:

LMAJ · Oct 19, 2008

Tease???

I would never tease you guys... :mrgreen:
I rubbed the chuckies with a rub a friend brought back from NC earlier in the year - it's a mild rub so thought that would be good for my plans of using the beef in chili and tacos.
This is about 2 hours in -
The fattys are now done and the Italian one is diced up and is currently relaxing in a hot tub of jalapenos, onions, garlic, and tomatos... just waiting until the chuckies are done. Sitting at about 182 degrees..
The chicken breasts were huge - 2 slices of bacon per didn't cover them totally - they are co-habitating with the chuckies.
Here are some pics.... will follow up with the finished products.

Were the fatties you cooked just plain ol' sausage?
I thought a fatty was stuffed with something?
Looks like good eats either way.

Yep - these were just plain, old sausages... the beauty of fatties is.... they can be however plain or fancy as you like. Since I was using this one to put in my chili, I opted for plain.

Here are the post cook pics. The beef didn't pull like I had hoped but we ran out of time and had to pull them off the egg sooner then I would have liked so I sliced it instead - still looks good. Big Al did the mandatory taste test and gave it the thumbs up...
So between the chowder, chili, and other beef - we are set for lunch and dinner for the week - gotta love that!

Bacon · Oct 19, 2008

Never had corn chowder, looks good though. And especially with the bacon added. Corn and bacon 'round my way is the norm (hominy being the pinnacle).

But everything else looked great also.

Is that a secret chili recipe or would you mind sharing with the class? :smile:

Fatties don't have to be stuffed

I do mine like a sausage meatloaf
I tried the stuffed fatties don't really
like the look when the sliced, don't like
the hole in the middle when the cheese
melts away.. J.M.H.O.
I just mixed up a big batch for lunchmeat to
eat at the Jack next weekend.. :biggrin:
made these ones wicked fatties.. I think they
are around three pounds each
I want the slices to fit on a hamburger bun..
will post some pron when I cook them next weekend
I'm sure I can the wife to take some pics :icon_blush:

Thanks guys - Sure - I'll share- it came from the Southern Living Cookbook but after seeing this chili thread http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50914 I have a few new ones to try.
This is the recipe as written... I added a diced fatty and sorry Keale - no beans...

Texas Chunky Chili
2 large onions - chopped
1 stalk celery
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper
1 tablespoon veg oil
3 pounds boneless chuck - diced
2 teaspoon dried whole oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
1 (28 oz) canned tomatos, undrained and chopped
1 (6 oz) tomato paste
1/4 cup chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups water
Saute onion, celery, garlic, and jalapeno in oil until tender - set aside
Combine meat, oregano and cumin in dutch oven - cook until meat is browned.
Add veggies, tomatos, tomato paste, chili powder, salt and water.
Bring to a boil - reduce heat and simmer uncovered 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Yield 5 cups.
