Ok, who has heard of putting peanut butter and jelly on the bun of a smash burger? I just saw this is a thing.

i've heard of it, but i'll just go as far a peanut butter (as i can doctor it for a thai/asian influence)

I've had a couple of peanut butter bacon pickle burgers before that are delightful, but not with jelly.

Yeah I don’t usually see if with jelly maybe Fords Garage? It would probably be good if no other toppings

Peanut butter on a burger is good though if done right. Also good in chili

This is totally off diet for me, but this is epic. You gotta try this. I replaced the regular pasta with chick pea pasta.

Chili Oil onion pasta sauce

Slice 3 onions and caramelize over low-ish heat with butter. When the onions are soft, add a cup of chicken stock. Reduce. When to your preference, add chopped garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, then add tomato paste. Mix and cook for a minute. Add chili oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder. Stir. Add some heavy cream and stir. Add parm cheese and more chili oil. Stir. Top with more chili oil and fresh parsley.

Duuuuuuuude. As the young generation says, this slaps!

I started to add a diced bulb of fennel when making lasagna. When you are sauteing your onions/garlic, just also finely chop a fennel bulb to add more depth of flavor.

I also grate my own fresh buffalo mozzarella, lastly i also add fresh basil to a middle layer, but that is more a personal preference.

Yes, but not enough time to cure it before Saturday. I generally use a Meathead's recipe/process with great success.

I appreciate the response Ron. I should have been more clear.
I’m looking to make chipped ham bbq for on sandwiches. Kinda like sloppy Joe, but with ham I guess

I’ve never made this before. I was thinking deli ham

LOL - yeah, that stuff is great and a regular at NE Ohio and Western PA get togethers. Gotta watch for it getting too salty.

I laughed because quite a few years ago here I documented a long running fight I had with the local Walmart's deli crew. I mean this is over several years. If they weren't new in the department they would literally run and hide behind the wall at the in-store deli counter

I don't know where you live but the term "chipped" seems to be a regional term because they sure as hell don't know what it is down here and they sure as hell don't like doing it after they find out. I grew up around Dayton, OH and Lawson's was the "go-to" place to get what you're looking for - "Chipped Chop Ham". It's cheap, tends to have a little gristle in it - sounds gross, but if sliced right (see-through thin) it's delicious.

I had more than one Walmart deli manager tell me it was impossible to slice it that thin because it's soft. They hated doing it because they had to slice it on a manual slicer and it takes a while.

They stopped carrying it a few years ago -

On it's own, it's also great - when sliced razor thin (chipped) it just melts in your mouth. It was a staple growing up and I was glad to share that experience with my kids who also loved - until they took it away ...

Growing up I didn't realize Pittsburgh was the likely originator of Chipped Chop Ham at a called Isaly's.

This is a pretty good recipe - but adjust based on saltiness.

But DO NOT buy any "chipped ham" that isn't razor thin - your guest will be extremely disappointed and will miss out on a great sandwich. That stuff that comes prepackaged from Oscar Meyer is a non-starter - the gristle that melts away when slice super thin ...doesn't disappear ...and it's not pleasant.

I can get it chipped at my local Weis, I laugh because I was already thinking whoever waits on me is going to be pissed lol.

Thanks for the post!

Also, when I buy ham from the deli I get Dietz and Watson Virginia. Since this is getting all of that sauce is it better to use something cheaper like a chopped ham?

Ham is usually pretty lean so you won't get the same breakdown of fat and connective tissue that comes with slow cooking a hunk of meat. I have no experience with this but I think it would be best to start with a bone-in ham shank because they have a higher fat content.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Im an awful cook. I can barely manage to cook a steak on the grill. (Its always too raw for them).

Im not sure I can be helped.

I LOVE a good roasted whole chicken, my favorite comfort food, always on the lookout for new ways to do it. Pics of my current favorite, recipe courtesy of NYT Cooking:
Curried roasted Chicken w Grapefruit, Honey & Thyme

Very short list of ingredients, simple and flavorful. The periodic basting is key to the beautiful coloring. I use a hot curry from Penzey's for a little kick, and a bigger chicken than it calls for (adjust ingredients proportionately, though I keep honey same). At the 30 min mark I spoon a couple tbsp of the rendered fat into a large bowl and toss w halved gold fingerling potatoes, lay in single layer cut side down and roast them while the chicken finishes.

Ingredients

• 1 (3½-pound) whole chicken
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• ⅓ cup grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed, if possible
• ¼ cup honey
• 1teaspoon curry powder
• 1tablespoon finely chopped thyme

Preparation

Step 1
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Pat the chicken dry and season it well with salt and pepper, both inside and out. Place the chicken breast-side up in a 10-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the grapefruit juice, honey, curry powder and thyme. Spoon all the mixture over the chicken, making sure it is evenly covered.
Step 3
Roast the chicken for 30 minutes, basting every 15 minutes or so. Turn heat down to 325 degrees and continue basting the chicken with the pan juices until the skin is lacquered with sauce and the chicken registers 165 degrees with an instant thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh, about 45 to 50 minutes more. If skin is starting to become too dark, tent with foil. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before carving.

well gotta say - I've never had it with anything but the low cost chipped chop ham - seems like it might be "gilding the lily" by going with expensive ham - the key is the chipped part so it melts in your mouth. I'm too cheap to load expensive into mom's 1970 crockpot - lol.

Great recipe. Spatchcocking it might cut down on the cooking time some and even it out.

I bought 3 lb of chopped ham ($5 a lb lol) and it’s chopped paper thin. The sauce is simmering on the stove using the recipe you gave me without cinnamon cuz that just didn’t sound right. I also didn’t use as much water thinking I can add more if I want and used about 3 Tbs mustard
ETA: left the relish out too. Will serve on the side

definitely with you on keeping the relish out ...I'm a Cincy chili fan so I do like the cinnamon. Let us know what you and your guests think! Did you try a making a sandwich with it before putting it into the sauce?

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Did you try a making a sandwich with it before putting it into the sauce?

No. We tasted the sauce then added the ham and tasted that. I wanted to add a lil more vinegar but the boss didn’t so we didn’t
