Thirding (forthing?) the ham suggestion.

Last Christmas, we got two hams. Ham soup (make like chicken stock: ham bone, carrots, celery, onion, some spices... boil the poo poo out of it for many hours.

Don't boil your stocks.

1. Throw pork loin into slow cooker.
2. Cover with a can of root beer.
3. Wait 8 hours.
4. Shred and consume with favourite BBQ sauce.

I'm being serious and it tastes awesome. Two meals worth of meat right there, more if you eat smaller portions.

Use something like shoulder or butt at least. :colbert: Cheaper than a loin and is better for slow cooking. Also, use some fuckin seasonings.

Wat. Duck fat is amazing for hashbrowns, scallops, eggs etc. Same with beef tallow. If you can't taste the animal fat then you're adding too much spices. We may simply have different preferences for where we obtain flavor. I like the flavors from animal fats to be subtle, and usually use them in/on the main starch/protein rather than to sautee aromatics. I tend to err on the side of underspicing, so I may just be doing things wrong.

Edit: Also, I hope to god you're not making the mac part of chili mac and the spaghetti part of spaghetti in the crock pot. :barf:

I don't really have a recipe, but I like to slice really thin, layer in a casserole with salt, pepper, a bit of butter, and some thyme and bake at 350 until bubbly and you can pass a knife through.

Is it a bad idea to buy dried beans in bulk?

Depends on how much you eat beans.

I gotta say that after this thread inspired me to make my own chicken stock a few times and learning to buy and use the whole chicken, something magical happened. It became easy enough for me to play it by ear- I don't need to consult online guides or notes, I just stash chicken bones, onion skins, carrot ends and wilted celery in baggies in the freezer till it's time to replenish the stash. All this stuff was garbage to me before, so it feels pretty awesome to be turning it into something delicious and useful.

Congrats, you're moving away from being a man-child (or woman-child).
