Crazy Delicious Pork Tacos (or Nachos or Burritos)

Crazy delicious pork tacos in the slow cooker or oven – great for tacos, nachos, burritos. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. My heart belongs to tacos. Always has always will. Sorry wife. Sorry kids. I don’t really have a favorite stuffer either. I’ll throw anything in a tortilla – beef, tofu, veggies, socks. It doesn’t really matter to me. When I want pork in my tacos, and I’m being especially lazy, this is the recipe I make. This is one of those recipes that you pull out of a magazine and say you’re gonna try and you actually…

Alabama Sliders

Alabama sliders are here just in time. College football season has started and Nick Saban is already getting testy with reporters. All you need now is game day food. I got you! Roll Tide! Even if you’re not an Alabama fan, Roll Tide, you’re gonna be a fan of these sliders. I used my Alabama pot roast recipe for this to make it super convenient. Spicy, delicious, and handheld – does it get any better than that? You can shred that old thing, that Mississippi pot roast, but why would you? I’m on a mission, let’s put this Alabama pot…

Alabama Pot Roast – Slow & Pressure Cooker

Mississippi pot roast – you all know it. You’ve all tried it, I’m sure. Am I the only one who has never made this? I think I may be. The real question is, have you tried the Alabama pot roast? No? Don’t feel bad. No one has, I just made it up. But trust me, it’s a winner, just like good old Nick Saban and his boys. Why? Why do we need an Alabama pot roast when we already have a Mississippi pot roast and is, by all accounts, pretty delicious? I’ll tell you why, because I’m in Alabama and we…

Ropa vieja - shredded beef with veggies in a beautiful sauce. Cuban comfort food in your slow cooker or pressure cooker!

Ropa Vieja – Slow Cooker + Pressure Cooker

Let me start by saying, if you don’t know, that ropa vieja is one of the national dishes of Cuba. It’s Spanish for “old clothes” and as one story goes, a poor old dude once shredded and cooked his own clothes because he could not afford food for his family. He prayed over the bubbling concoction and a miracle occurred. His clothes turned into a tasty meat stew. Is this true? I’ll let you decide. But I will tell you what is true…I love ropa vieja. When I visit Key West, I always hit the Cuban places and get ropa vieja. …

Sloppy roast beef po boy! Get your napkins ready because this bad boy is messy!

Classic Roast Beef Po Boy – Instant Pot + Slow Cooker

The classic roast beef po boy. Tender beef, gravy, the fixins, and french bread. Is that what makes a good po boy? In a word, no, not entirely. Sure, it makes a po boy, and you need it for a good one, but the real judge is how many napkins you need when you eat it. You want it good and sloppy. This one, you may need an entire roll! If you’ve never had a po boy, it’s a sandwich on French bread. It comes with alot of different stuffings – shrimp, oyster, hamburger, fish…but my favorite is roast beef.…

Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce or Spaghetti Sauce For a Month

It’s crock pot spaghetti sauce. I don’t know why my wife calls it Spaghetti Sauce For a Month, but this is actually the title she placed on her recipe card (which is nasty and brown at the edges). I suppose it’s because it makes a crap ton of sauce, but this really lasts us forever, which is way more than a month. It’s just the two of us, how much sauce can a person eat? She has made this for as long as I can remember. I mean, forever, back when we were some broke folks. But it’s still…

Jalapeño beans with shredded rotisserie chicken - healthy, easy weeknight meal!

Jalapeño Beans with Shredded Chicken

I was on my way home from Canada when I stumbled on this backwoods beans recipe. I call it that because it doesn’t have an official name. I was on the plane, browsing my Backwoodsman magazine and if you know this mag, people write in. Rusty Keller submitted this recipe and it sounded so good I knew I wanted to try it. If you have never seen the Backwoodsman magazine, you should seek it out. I subscribe to it and have for a few years. It’s not monthly but maybe every three months, I’m not positive. Anyway, it’s old…
