5 servings

What you need:

Patties:
 1 pound ground sirloin
 1/2 cup bread crumbs
 1 egg, beaten
 2 tablespoons milk
 1/2 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

A dash of sweet chili sauce
 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Gravy:
 3 tablespoons butter
 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
 1 sweet onion, sliced
 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
 1/2 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
 1 1/2 cups beef stock
 1 cup water
 salt and ground black pepper to taste

How to make it:

Mix ground sirloin, panko bread crumbs, egg, milk, and 1/2 packet onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper together in a large bowl; shape into 5 patties.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties in hot skillet until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Melt butter in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms and onion in melted butter until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir flour and remaining dry onion soup mix into the mushroom mixture; cook and stir until flour is integrated fully, about 1 minute. Stream beef stock and water over the mushroom mixture while stirring continually; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Lie the browned steaks into the gravy; simmer until steaks are firm and light brown in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F.

Ingredients

3 cups salted pretzels
3 cups popcorn popped
4 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal
1 cup Roasted Almonds in Sea Salt
1 cup Roasted Peanuts
1 1/2 cups M&Ms
2 Bags of white chocolate chips or (I used Ghirardelli melting chocolate 24 oz)

How to make it:

In a Large bowl pour your Pretzels, Popcorn, , Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Almonds, Peanuts & M&M's..

Place the melting chocolate in a bowl & microwave for 90 seconds. Stir and, if needed, heat an additional 15 seconds until it’s smooth and creamy. watch it closely, keep stopping to stir , it burns easily if you use this way! I recommend setting the microwave at 50% and you always get perfect melted chocolate, might take a bit longer but safer.

Drizzle about half of the melted chocolate over the mixture in the bowl and mix around to coat it all.

Once fully coated, take a large cookie sheet and pour coated mixture onto the sheet then drizzle the rest of the melted chocolate over all and spread it out and allow to cool completely.

Once cooled, break into pieces.

Store in an air tight container- does NOT need to be refrigerated.

ENJOY!

INGREDIENTS

4 pounds pork roast

1/2 teaspoon cumin and chili powder

red onion, sliced thin

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons olive oil

8 ounces beer and 8 ounces chicken broth

2 cups sliced green cabbage

3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 lime juiced

a bunch of (4-inch) tortillas, for serving (I used white corn tonight)

shredded cheese, for topping

cilantro avocado cream

1 avocado, chopped

1 lime, juiced + zested

3 tablespoons sour cream or greek yogurt

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

INSTRUCTIONS 

Rub the pork with a little olive oil,  then sprinkle pork with the salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder, cumin, chili powder. Pour your favorite beer  and chicken broth in the pot, around the sides, not rinsing off the spices, cover and cook for 5-6 hours on high. Check with meat thermometer if it's 165 you can slice it and serve like I did, or if you want it pulled into pieces let cook a little more. After 7 hours, remove the top and pull the pork apart with tongs or forks. I toss it well with the beer and then cover it and let it cook for another 15 minutes or so. Mix well to combine everything. Taste the pork and season it additionally if desired.

To make the slaw, add the cabbage to a large bowl. Toss it with the sweet chili sauce and the lime juice, adding in a pinch of salt. You can make this a few hours ahead of time and keep it in the fridge if desired.

To make the avocado cream, add the avocado, lime juice and zest, sour cream or yogurt and the cilantro to a food processor. Blend until pureed and creamy.

Assemble the tacos by adding some pork to each tortilla and covering it with a drizzle of the avocado cream. Add the slaw on top and crumble on a bit of cheese.
