Favorite Thanksgiving Recipe

[2LaneCruzer]

Thought I would share one of my favorite recipes...I always look forward to this dish on Thanksgiving.

OVEN BAKED BACON WRAPPED GREEN BEANS

2 cans of uncut green beans

1# sliced, hickory smoked bacon

Chili Powder, or your favorite BBQ rub

Open and drain the green beans; combine enough individual beans to form a bundle approximately 1 and 1/4 inch in diameter and wrap with a slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick and place on a cookie sheet.

Repeat the process with the remaining beans and sprinkle with chili powder or BBQ rub.

Place in a medium oven and bake until the bacon is done. Enjoy.

Note: as noted above, you can use your own choice of seasoning such as BBQ dry rub, etc.

I never heard of such a thing, but it surely does sound tasty to me.

Being a Texan, I'm sure you would like it. My wife's from Gilmer; she likes them almost as good as green beans and new potatoes...not to mention Pittsburg Hot Links.

Cornbread and Oyster Dressing.:thumbsup: I will try to post the recipe or website later when I find the way to do this.

I just copied and pasted mine. The way I post a website is to go to "file", click on "send", click on "website", and when it comes, copy the website and paste it into your post.

I'm going to have to learn how to post a picture one of these days.

Green beans and new potatoes are hard to beat. I've never seen the Pittsburg Hot Links, but Fischer's Meat Market has some "Taco Flavored Hot Links $3.69 lb.
This is an excellent Hot Link. It has Jalapenos and cheese in it
and is the hottest sausage we make" that are by far the best hot links I've found.

My mother got a recipe for that many years ago when they were living in Port Aransas and we went down there every year for 17 years for Thanksgiving. I thought it was pretty good, but my wife won't have anything to do with oysters.:laughing:

I have to admit I am no cook. So, my favorite recipes are whatever my wife and mother-in-law prepare. Fortunately, they are good cooks.

I had never heard of that recipe until my job took me from Tenn. to Florida. I love it, and I have been known to eat 2-3 dozen raw oysters at a setting. My wife is just like yours. She can't stand the site of oysters, more less eat them.

Eggnog and brandy, about a 25/75 ratio. :licking:

Pittsburg Hot Links are not really hot, but are great from the grill or the smoker. Pittsburg is in East Texas, and we never fail to pick up a couple cases when we are there.

I know where Pittsburg is, have even eaten lunch there. One of my wife's brothers lives way out of town, but his mailing address is Pittsburg. I just haven't seen the Pittsburg hot links. And I don't consider the Fischer hot links to be really hot either. I don't like really hot foods as much as I used to.

Just trying to help. Home Page This is the website for the Pittsburg Hot Links. Hope this is helpful.

The only thing I really mess with is the fried turkey and I found the best spicy injection recipe. It is from Emeril and it's all we use.


2 tablespoon Lea & Perrins worcestershire
1 tablespoon crab boil
1/4 cup apple cider
3/4 cup honey
1 bottled beer
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon allspice
1/2 cup essence or Creole spice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
pinch of clove

My favorite Thanksgiving recipe:
Take
all your siblings,
your parents,
your children,
your grandchildren,
your friends,

Mix them all together,
add hugs, kisses and handshakes,
let sit for 5 or 6 hours,
add lots of love and lots of conversation,
and thank your God that it was all possible.

Very well said. I say "Amen".

Not exactly a Thanksgiving recipe, but this last weekend got together with a half dozen friends on a cool afternoon and enjoyed a bushel of fresh oysters roasted over open flame- woooh, there so good- fresh, briny, with your choice of topping if you cared for any. Best part- being with those good friends! The host was planning for a two day roast but we managed to eat enough the first night to change his plans

Don't get me wrong; I love my home state, but when I hear something like this, I'll have to admit, I do get a little bit jealous. Closest we get is a good old Rocky Mountain Oyster fry, which is pretty darn hard to beat also.
