I’m m not sure if I like sausage gravy or bacon gravy
Might just depends on the day lol
I love both!
I haven’t had stuffed peppers in a long time but sounds like pics are coming soon

I’ve never had bacon gravy, that sounds interesting though. How do you make it, just the same as sausage gravy?

Yes but no bacon just use the grease to make the roux same as sausage gravy

I see, that’s interesting. I’ll have to give that a try sometime. I wonder if it would be better with some fine chopped bacon mixed in? Maybe something to experiment with sometime.

Many (most) of my cooking is an experiment !

If I have a new recipe, I have to concentrate to try it as written at least the first time !

Took a trip down to TN to surprise my mom for her 60th. She requested shrimp etouffee for dinner. Dad made her a fruit tart for dessert.

I think the salad needs more cayenne pepper.

First dish is pasta with ground beef, red bell pepper and sweet potato tator tots. Not sure what I added for seasonings / flavor because this was a while ago, but probably something along the lines of either Italian dressing, olive oil, teriyaki sauce, pepper, maybe some mustard, or a combo of any one of those things. I’ll also sometimes add some ketchup to the ground beef just before it finishes cooking.

Pasta and what would otherwise be a salad mixed together with grass fed ground beef. Occasionally I will add some Italian dressing to these kinds of pasta dishes in addition to olive oil and it gives it a nice flavor. Also some grated parmesan / romano cheese.

 

[climbingmonkey24]

Grass fed strip loin. Either marinating in zesty Italian dressing for a while or rubbing it in right before cooking or even while cooking gives the meat a nice flavor without being too overpowering (in my opinion). If you’ve never tried it would recommend.

What was the Bee Sting sauce ?

Basically a honey hot sauce, more honey than hot but still a little heat. Went well with the sandwich too.

I looks a little yellow; maybe some mustard added ? ? ?

Likely, I wouldn't be surprised. My folks eat there a few times/month and are cordial with the owners, I'll see if they can find out the recipe, or if it's a well guarded secret.

Just an on-line version:

BEE STING SAUCE
1 stick butter
1 1/2 c Franks Red Hot or whatever hot sauce you use
1/2 c honey (more if you want it sweeter)
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
3 Tbsp garlic puree or super fine minced garlic (yes Tbsp I said it is garlicky, less if you want less)
2 tsp mustard powder (or 1 tsp yellow mustard)

Bee Sting Chicken Wings

The star of this chicken wings recipe really is the sauce. It has just the perfect amount of spice, with a hint of garlic flavor and a lovely sweet honey taste.

Sounds pretty GOOD !

The mustard powder will be much better, but you need to let the flavor develop for at least and hour or two.

Thanks for that. I think I'll give it a try this weekend!

Bee-Sting Sauce
Rev: 230606

Made a half batch today just to taste & have on-hand.
For hot sauce I used a mixture of ½ Sriracha (Huy Fung brand); and ½ Louisiana Hot Sauce (milder than Sriracha).
Coleman’s dry Mustard Powder.
Bring to very gentle boil; and simmer for ~ 1+ hr.

This is very good. Spicier than I expected, but it would be muted when used as a glaze or sauce.
I could use only Louisiana Hot Sauce next time to make it a little milder; also a little more honey.
It is not as yellow as shown in your photo.
