Good Ole Biscuits n Gravy




Went camping not long ago and really enjoyed it. The weather was cold at night but the days were pretty  warm.  I usually make biscuits and gravy on the campfire but with high winds expected, I opted to use the little charcoal cooker.

Place my biscuits into a buttered pie pan, topped with another buttered pie pan. Wrapped the whole thing in foil and set it over the coals to cook. I rotated and flipped the pan often for even cooking.

Also started a skillet of sausage for the gravy...







fried a skillet of hash browns too...



added flour, seasonings and milk to the browned sausage to make the gravy...





scrambled a few eggs in butter..



the biscuits take about 25 minutes...



The biscuits, sausage gravy and eggs....not sure where my skillet of hash browns were sitting.






Biscuits, sausage gravy, hash browns, eggs and fruit to make it look healthy..




Tasted pretty good at the time. :)



I enjoyed the camp out even though I froze and didn't catch any fish. It was just nice being out there.

Homemade Canadian and Peameal Bacon





I love homemade bacon in every shape and size. It rates right up there with chocolate and garlic as one of my favorite foods. :)
If you've not made your own, do give it a try. It's easier than you think! You basically marinate a piece of meat for a week instead of marinating it overnight before smoking. The hardest part of making bacon is waiting for it to cure.

For my latest post on the Char-Broil site, I posted an easy bacon cure recipe that works well for both American Canadian style bacon and Canadian Peameal bacon.
I normally cold smoke bacon in my smokehouse but this time I hot smoked the bacon on the Char-Broil 4 burner Tru-infrared propane grill, using the smoke infuser. It worked great!!

The Canadian Peameal bacon...




I really enjoyed this batch for some reason. Made everything from fried Peameal bacon on biscuits, to Canadian bacon pizza, to grilled bacon kabobs.









If you get the time, please check out my bacon post on the Char-Broil site , also hope you give the recipe a try!
Thanks for lookin'! :)
