Garbagetrash Plate Hot Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
• Transfer the cooked beef to a blender and blend until the meat is finely minced. Bring the minced beef, water, vinegar, paprika, black pepper, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, allspice, cloves, cumin, thyme, and cinnamon to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat; cook for at least 30 minutes, adding water as needed to keep the mixture moist and gravy-like.

Steps:

• Brown the beef and drain.
• If you are using whole spices/herbs, which I prefer for this, add all to a mortar and pestle them into a fine powder. If you are using ground spices/herbs, just mix them all together in a bowl and set aside. Note that you'll need more than the measurements listed above if you're using whole spices like allspice and cloves. In the end you want the ground quantities to roughly match the amounts listed in the ingredient list. None of these measurements is super critical. After you make this, you'll likely tweak the spices to suit your taste anyway.
• In the beef browning pan, make a roux by cooking the flour with either 1 tablespoon of the beef fat or butter. I've done it both ways, couldn't tell the difference.
• Add the roux to a 4qt saucepan over medium low heat. Dump the beef/water mix in there. Add the spice mixture, vinegar, and tomato paste and whisk until it's all blended.
• Bring to a simmer, stirring often. Then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for an hour or two, stirring occasionally to keep the meat from settling to the bottom of the pan and burning.
• Finally, grind it up a bit right in the saucepan using a stick/immersion blender. You don't want to go too far with this and make a milkshake, we're just trying to break down some of the big chunks so that the result is like finely ground beef.

Steps:

• In a dutch oven saute ham and onions.
• Add potatoes to ham and onions. Saute until lightly browned.
• Scramble eggs.
• Pour in dutch oven with ham, onion and potatoes, stir continuously.
• When eggs are thoroughly cooked remove from heat and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
• Allow cheese to melt prior to serving.
