meanwhile, this is a smoke I did a couple of days ago.
I ran across some nice collard greens...
made a batch of sausage using a blend of pork and beef. I started out making a brat type sausage but then started adding a bit of this and a pinch of that.. lol It came out tasty though. :)
I trimmed the thick stem from the leaves...
washed the leaves and filled with the pork mixture...
Rolled and ready...
I filled the skillet 1/2 way with chicken stock, then gave the stuffed collards a quick splash of crown ( I didn't have southern comfort).
The splash of booze is definately optional. :)
Into the Memphis Pro with a side dish of mac and cheese.
I covered both dishes and let them cook for 30 minutes, then removed the foil and let them smoke for about 30 more minutes. (at 325F). I checked the internal temp of the pork before pulling from the smoker.
Made a batch of baking powder biscuits...
Brushed them with bacon drippings ....
into the Pro... I love that frog mat. :)
The smoked mac and cheese, baking powder biscuit, pork stuffed collards drizzled with a hot bacon dressing....
I loved it and actually felt comforted after the meal. lol
Any pork mixture will work and any greens (if you're not fond of collards). :)

WoW looks very nice....love the idea of the sausage rolls...
What an excellent way to use loose sausage. Can't wait to try that out. It all looks delicious, and a spot of Crown after the meal might be nice too!
Oh, yum! I think I can smell that up here in upstate NY.
Care to share your recipe for the hot bacon dressing? It looks sort of similar to one my Pennsylvania Dutch grandmother made. -- I'm guessing bacon (and bacon fat), onion, celery, garlic(?), cider vinegar, a little sugar, black pepper, and maybe a bit of mustard.
Thank you Marc!:)
David, Thank you! Hope you give it a try sometime. It's comforting. :)
ChezJake, I think you might be psychic. :)
Your recipe is close!
I fried 5 pieces of bacon, sauted some leeks and onion in the bacon drippings.
Added about 1 TBS of flour to thicken..
Then added..
1/3 cup of water
1/4 cup of cider vinegar
2 TBs of sugar...you can add more if needed
Salt and pepper to taste
:) Thanks ChezJake..
I'm curious about the pork mixture.
Will you marry my bother (nope, not a typo - baby brother doesn't qualify for the first "R" in our kinship); you don't have to live with or even look at him. I just want you in the family.
lol Anonymous..too funny!!!
Thanks for the laugh. :)
I started with a brat recipe that I like then added red pepper flakes, chives, parsley, thyme.. I got carried away but it came out okay. (I lucked out :))
Any sausage mix will work..
One thing I like to do is add beef to the pork mixture. I just like the texture and flavor better.
Good luck and thanks again!
Looks delish! I hear my garden greens calling me ...
:) Thanks Owl Nest!
