I love this basic recipes I added to the mix beef stock, 2 bay leaves, some pepper corn and about ¼ cup of beer. I don't really care for off the shelf BBQ sauce. So I made my own In a sauce pan I add ¼ cup balsamic vinegar ¼ cup white mind vinegar ¼ white distilled vinegar 2 table spoons of malted vinegar ¼ cup beer 3 table spoons Worcestershire sauce 4 dashes liquid smoke 1 cup catsup ¼ cup cherry juice 1 table spoon hot sauce ½ table spoon ground mustard Dash of cayenne ½ cup brown sugar ¼ cup honey 4 table spoons chopped onions 1 clove garlic 4 slices of diced bacon And cook it for about an hour on low heat before poring over the BBQ pork As the mix became thicker I added a bit of the liquid from the slow cooker. As a side I made home made coleslaw.

This recipe is so easy and a perfect base, I use heavy cream in place of the milk (during the holidays) add a spoon full of sour cream for that extra zing. I put my potatoes through a potato ricer then fold in the room temp cream and butter, it make the perfect textured potatoes. I also save some of that starchy water used to boil the potato's for making gravy.

This was the first time that I have tried to make wiener schnitzel and it tasted like any German restaurant that I have been to. I used panko for the first time to replace the bread crumbs, and it turned out fantastic! I will definitely make this again.
