  • Ham and Beans – Dianne’s

    This recipe is awesome and goes really well with Tennessee Sour Cream Cornbread. INGREDIENTS (pre-cook): 3 cups pinto beans This is about as much as you can safely cook in an 8-quart pressure cooker. If you double this recipe, do the pre-cook in two separate batches. 6 cups water INGREDIENTS (MAIN COOK): 1 large onion…

  • Meatloaf – Randy’s tweaks to Gregg’s

    I liked Gregg’s meatloaf but I wanted to make a recipe that would cook in one hour and have a little more kick. This is what happens when you drink a martini and start adding ingredients as you go. I’m sure Gregg did the same thing while drinking a few beers. I would like to…

  • NAAN Bread

    Naan bread is typically baked on the sides of a 900 degree tandor oven. I make it in a very hot cast iron skillet. INGREDIENTS: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (320 g) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 cup warm water 1/4 oz active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons) 1/2 cup sour cream 1…

  • Chicken Vegetable Soup – Dehydrated

    This recipe assumes you have already prepared chicken breast. See Chicken Breast and Thighs – Sous Vide. I cook several flats of chicken at a time and freeze it to use later. You could also grab an extra rotisserie chicken at a Sam’s or a Costco and pull the meat from the bone and freeze…

INGREDIENTS: 3-4 lbs of russet potatoes 1/2 cup melted butter 1/2 cup milk 3 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon black pepper INSTRUCTIONS: Put 2 cups…

  • Breakfast Sausage Patties – Sous Vide

    I have used sous vide for bacon so I wondered if breakfast sausage would benefit from the same process. I found a Reddit post about sous vide sausage so I had to try it. This process makes the sausage very tender and removes a lot of the grease. After removing the sausage from the sous…

  • Poached Eggs

    INGREDIENTS: 32 oz water 1 Tablespoon vinegar (apple cider or clear) 1 egg INSTRUCTIONS: Bring the water and vinegar to boil in a medium sauce pan.

  • Spaghetti Sauce – Randy’s Easy

    We made Dianne’s Lasagna and it was incredible. I really liked the sauce so I put the recipe here so I could make it in bulk, just add water and meat and mushrooms (optional), and heat. Each batch makes 60 ounces of sauce and can serve 6 or 7 hungry people. I got more than…
