Gathering of the Clan

While I am not sure about Colston's theory on oysters and "fancy" dishes, I was looking for something different this weekend on a cold day. I had leftover brisket in the freezer form the prior weekend and I thought, "People like mac 'n' cheese with their BBQ. Why not make a dish out of that combination?"

I prepped some mac 'n' cheese (with about a cup and a half of chopped green chile) in a dutch oven and baked it. Meanwhile, I chopped up some brisket flat, coated it in BBQ sauce, and browned some panko crumbs in butter.

When it was ready, I switched the oven to broil, spread out the panko, and then spread the brisket on top of that. Broiled it for about 10 minutes. Mrs. Trout Bum said it was a keeper.

Looks good,glad you didnt add oysters

That looks awsome.

THis weekend's fiddling around included chicken breasts and ribs @ 185° until done-ish, then finished off with a blast of 500° to finish 'em off...and Spaghetti Aglio e Olio.

We had a food truck here from North Carolina that did some really good BBQ. One of my favorite items was his mac n cheese with pulled pork in it. It was outstanding. Unfortunately, due to family reasons, he packed it up and went back to NC.

Greg,
I just finished dinner and your concoction still looks far better than what I just scarfed down....I have no intention of alerting the cook of my observation. The Belgian dog and I are partners in dodging the expectations of our chef given even the weak efforts provided time and again. It has worked so far, so why risk any new approach ? We go with what is the safe track. Bux

Ed,

You are a wise man.
