I can't remember which of you posted instructions for making your own bacon, but thanks a whole heck of a lot. Now guess what Ken wants me to do..... So what size pork belly, how much salt, sugar, brown sugar and lemon cure? (Where the heck do I even FIND lemon cure - online?)

We got it from a local Company called Cheney Bros. They are a restaurant food distributor but they have a tiny store set up in the warehouse. Kinda cool. Close outs/over stocks/scratch and dents. S&D's are crazy cheap.
Small example:

50# bag light brown sugar=$3
Under it is a 50# bag of granulated sugar=$3
I have a 50# bag of table salt & sea salt. And convection sugar.. CHEAP!
We don't cry over spilled salt..

This is only the pantry. I have hundreds of # of flours. All-purpose/baking/industrial/pizza dough flour.. Yukon gold instant potatoes..on and on. =$1.00 for 50 0r 25# bags.
7 lb cans of veggies for $3 a can.
We have 200# of corn grits in an unplugged freezer in the barn. We finish hogs with them.
The lemon cure wasn't discounted nor the pink salt (sodium nitrite) which we don't use that often.
Go visit Chenybro.com, maybe they will ship it to you. Perhaps the next time we go I can check the price on a small amount for you and we can send it to you. Our bag was really heavy. I will check if they have small packages..

Where I live we make sugar....surrounded by sugar factories. And because we are a rural ranching community, I can get bulk curing salt. So that's not an issue, it's finding the lemon cure, which I'd never heard of before.

Gladly! Taco soup could not be easier. It's in no way A from scratch meal, but it never disappoints especially on a cold or busy day.

Ingredients:
Ground beef or venison browned. I use at least 2 lbs.
1-2 cans whole kernel corn drained
1 large can of chilli beans undrained
1 can black beans drained
2 cans rotel tomatos drained
2 packs taco seasoning (you can use homemade taco seasoning if you have your own mixed up)
2 packs ranch mix
2 cups water

(I would like to point out I honestly don't know 2 people who make their taco soup the same so this is just how I like it)

Directions: brown and strainmeat -you can season your meat as well based on personal preference or add onion and garlic, put back in the pot add water and all canned ingredients, I usually premix my taco and seasonings in the side in a little cold water to assure no clumping - than I add that in too. Bring to boil and simmer for at least 20-30 minutes- the longer the better.

Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream and Fritos or crackers.

Enjoy!

With that in front of me, during interrogation, I would admit to crimes I did not commit.

I made chili tonight. It was REALLY GOOD, but most definitely not photo contest worthy. Lol. Maybe I'll do something good by the 15th but I doubt it as hubby leaves for work tomorrow and I don't do much good cooking while he's gone. Can't wait to see your posts though!
