Beef Tallow
I’m going to show you how to make “Liquid Gold” today otherwise known as beef tallow. If you’re the type of person who has ever saved your leftover bacon grease (or at least remember your mom and grandma doing that) and know how much flavor that adds when you cook with it – you’re going…
Spicy Sausage and Velveeta Dip
Last year for Appetizer Night at duck camp, Mom was trying to figure out what to make when Derek piped up, “what about that cheesy, hamburger dip?” Because what good Appetizer Night, Tailgate Party, or Football afternoon is complete without a good cheese dip?
