I love that stuff, cant get enough

I think it's my new favorite

It's on a recipe card in my recipe index and it says 'doberman 152's marinade' on it

last night for the eagles game i cooked up some food:


2.5 lbs of home made meatballs, 1.5 lbs of hot italian sausage. let the meat simmer in the sauce for about 7 hours, tasted amazing.
**edit: this was before i added more sauce, haha, clearly not enough

i also made some home made jalepeno poppers (cheddar cream cheese mix) in the deep fryer, but didnt snap any pics

Every time I hear the words 'fried chicken' I think of you eating your chicken encrusted off your basket now

Damn

Looks yummy. It's been a while since I've made them too. What type of sauce do you make? Is it a spaghetti type pasta sauce or a more traditonal meatball sauce or other? There are many...

i buy cans of crushed tomatoes (or in this case i accidentally bought peeled whole tomatoes and crushed them myself with a potato masher) then i let the meat give the flavor to the sauce.

No spices in those tomatoes? None?


I've done that. Buying whole instead of cut up or crushed A potato masher seems like a hard way to crush them up Next time pulse them in a blender

You prepared something other than a meat product? I'm impressed!

they had keilbasa in them though I did baked beans and stuffing too down there though and none of those had meat in them. I grilled every night for about 9 days straight. We eat very good while we're down there.

i dont have a blender, hahahaha

i put a little salt, and some sugar in. the sugar was to cut down on the bitterness of the tomatoes. also, i used some pre minced garlic (came in olive oil) but it was very bitter also and added no garlic flavor. so i added more sugar to cut it down.

Let us know how you like it. If it's 'yummo' or not I like corned beef. Never thought to put it in a dip though.

New ideas are always welcome

Sounds like they make their own pasta. That's a lot of work. I just buy it and boil it

for the manicotti they make crepes from scratch. they tried to make their own pasta for the raviolis (they only made them once or twice) and it was too much of a pain in the wass, so they used wonton wrappers, haha

interesting. i saw alton brown do his like that. he actually put them in a muffin pan. we fry ours just to kind of seal the outside, then let them cook in sauce all day.
