2 lb Ground beef
Salt to taste 1 1/2 t Onion powder
1/4 t Pepper
Using a fork, gently mix meat, salt, onion powder and pepper. Shape into 6 patties, handling meat as little as possible and taking care not to press meat together tightly. Broil, grill or pan-fry the patties. The length of cooking time will depend upon whether you and your guests like your hamburgers rare, medium or well done.
4 lb Beef brisket, chuck roast,
-eye of round, or pork -shoulder or loin 3 1/2 oz Bottle of liquid smoke
2 c Chopped onions
1/4 c Cider vinegar
1/4 c Dark brown sugar, packed
2 tb Dusseldorf mustard, spicy
-brown mustard, or yellow -mustard 1 tb Dark molasses
1/4 ts Cayenne pepper
1/4 ts Liquid hot pepper sauce
3 tb Worcestershire sauce
1 c Ketchup
1/2 c Chili sauce (ketchup type)
1/2 Lemon, sliced
1 tb Salt, more or less, to taste
1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the meat on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up, and pour the liquid smoke around it. Seal the pan with foil and place it in the oven. Roast the brisket for 4 hours, or until it is very tender, turning once. Uncover the meat for the last 30 minutes to brown. Remove the meat from the oven and let it cool. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate. Pour the pan juices and fat into a glass jar or bowl, cover, and refrigerate. The next day, remove the meat from the refrigerator and remove any extra fat. Pull the meat apart into small shreds. Remove the hardened fat from the pan juices. In a large pot, melt 3 tablespoons of the hardened fat over medium heat, add the onions and saute until tender. Add all of the remaining ingredients and 1 cup of the pan juices. Stir well and simmer for 20 minutes over low heat. Add the pulled meat to the sauce and simmer very slowly, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring frequently. Add more pan juices, or water, if necessary, to keep the meat moist.
5 lb Pork loin back ribs
-----DRY RUB----- 4 tb Paprika
2 ts Salt
2 ts Onion powder
2 ts Pepper, black
2 ts Pepper, white
2 ts Pepper, red
-----BARBEQUE SAUCE----- 6 tb Salt
6 tb Pepper, black
6 tb Chili powder
4 c Ketchup
4 c Vinegar, white
4 c Water
1 ea Onion, large, yellow, diced
1/2 c Molasses, sorghum
Barbeque Sauce: Combine ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 10 minutes or so. Pour into sterilized canning jars, seal and let stand 2 to 6 weeks before use. (If you are like me, not
much chance of this happening, but it is a nice touch to the recipe - CWS) Dry Rub: Mix ingredients together thoroughly.
Allow ribs to stand 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature until the rub appears wet. Prepare a smoker for long, slow (230 degree) indirect cooking, using hickory chips or other hardwood chips for extra flavor. Cook ribs, bone side down, for 2 hours at 230 degrees in a smoker using indirect heat. Turn and cook 2 more hours. Turn and cook one more hour. During the last 15 minutes, baste with barbeque sauce diluted by half with water. Serve ribs with warmed, undiluted sauce on the side.
