2 cups flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
1-1/2 tsp. CALUMET Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold butter or margarine
2 cups shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbs. minced jarred garlic

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour 8×8 or 9×9 pan. Mix dry ingredients; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese. Add combined milk, egg and garlic; stir just until moistened. Mixture will be quite thick and heavy. Spoon into pan, and bake 25 – 30 minutes or until golden brown on top and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. It comes out almost like corn bread, but so much better.

Anyway, as far as I can tell, its really hard to mess up a pork butt or shoulder. I put together a dry rub of salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, chili powder and brown sugar amongst some other things. I coat the hell out of it. As for the liquid i add to the slow cooker, it includes white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, a bit of water to cut it, more red pepper flakes for spice, and my secret is a lot of pickle juice. I might be missing a few things.

I don’t cut off the fat until it’s completely done cooking. I cook it for 10 hours and it falls off the bone.

I also create my own BBQ sauce which is kind of a hybrid between eastern NC (which is a vinegar base, no ketchup whatsoever) and mustard (South carolina style). I’ll try to post my recipe later.

Ham bone, with a good amount of meat on it still
1 can reduced sodium chicken broth/stock
1 can reduced sodium vegetable broth/stock
1 lb. baby carrots
2 cans white beans, rinsed. or 1 lb dry beans, prepped accordingly
2 stalks celery
1 onion cut into quarters
1 can corn

I did this all in my crockpot, but you can easily do it in a pan

Put ham bone, celery, onion, both broths, and enough water to fill crockpot/pan
up to the 2/3 full. I cooked all this on low with some adobo seasoning overnight,
but simmering in a pan for an hour or so should achieve the same result. Pour liquid
through a strainer and put back into pot/crockpot. Pick out bones and any fatty or
gross looking ham bits, and remove meat from bone. Add meat back to liquid. You can
also put the onion and celery back in, but I chose not to.

Here I turned my crockpot up to high for about 3 hours, so I’d turn a pot up to boil
for about a half hour or so, then added the baby carrots. I also didn’t have much meat
left on my ham bone so I added another cup of diced ham at this point. Cooked on high for another 3 hours, so keep your pot at a low boil for another hour. After all that I added my 2 cans of white beans(rinsed) and my can of corn and cooked for one more hour, I would estimate that’s about another 20 minutes on the low boil in a pan. Viola! Soup’s done!

I also made a garlic and cheddar quick bread to serve with the soup, fantastic pairing.
Sorry for the super sized comment.
