Looking for an alternative what to do with these..... Not a fan of them on the grill. Any ideas on casserole, or stew or other?
I like them in the crock pot with a box of dirty rice mix. Use beef broth instead of water, 1/2-2/3 of what the box calls for, and a little butter. If you don't want it spicy, add some plain rice and more liquid. Add a can of cream of something soup if you want. Good either way.
Any slower method of cooking them is appropriate. Smoker, crock pot, simmered in pork and great northern beans (my fav), etc.
I would not grill them either. They really need to be a slow cook on something like a kamado or smoker to get the internal temps up past the 200 degree mark and render the fat just like you would do with a pork butt. If you do it that way you will probably love them.
For a quick meal: Just put them in a pot and boil them. Then, put them on the grill or in the broiler with your favorite BBQ sauce.
Parboil them, then put them on the grill. After that I put on the sauce and layer them with rings of yellow and red peppers and onions. Put them in a baking dishe covered with foil and bake. I will look around for a picture! Gary
Easy! (I hope you have a "Dollar Tree" store in your neck of the woods.) I season them "liberally" with this, wrap them in foil, put them in a crock pot for five hours or longer. Yum. Use your bbq sauce of choice or not. This same approach will work with pulled pork. I have been using loin cuts (sirloin; loin ends; whatever is on sale) and have also used shoulders and butts. Same thing-season liberally, wrap in foil, put in crock pot. Once done, I do not drain the juices that have rendered down from the cooking; rather, I just pull the pork in them and it all gets re-absorbed. Hamburger buns and bbq sauce once more and you will be getting lots of thanks for it! Also works with beef roasts surprisingly well. The first couple times I did the country style ribs, I would char them on the grill just to "touch" them a bit with char. Have since discontinued that step of the process. Let me know if you try this and if you liked it.
Into the crock pot with carrots, onions, green pepper, garlic, and mushrooms. I add a little bbq sauce and black pepper, cook on low 6 hours and finish with a half hour or so on high. Serve it straight up or over noodles.
