It takes us way too long to use up a bottle of salad dressing, so I went looking for one to use up the Catalina we opened (before DH insists it's expired and we have to throw it out! LOL!) This is a crock pot version of one I found at Kraft.
Craving french fries or tater tots? Try these! At 90 calories and about 15 carbs per serving, it's a reasonable side dish.
This is for 6 Thin pizza Crust! You can also make this and divide the dough in half and you will have a thicker crust. Put you add the calories back in!
My mother is from Brasil (and she spells it with an "S"), so I grew up on this dish. She says that the real, good stuff has Portuguese sausage (linguica), bacon, and fresh pork as well as the ham-hocks. But when she got to the states linguica wasn't easy to be found, so she used pepperoni. Anyway, this recipe is how she made it for us.
NOTE: I prefer smoked ham shanks, which taste the same but have more meat and less fat (the hocks have the skin on, shanks don't). Mom would leave the skin from the ham-hocks floating around in the beans so you could eat that too, but I think that's just nasty.
OR you could use a ham bone—leftover from a nice ham (like at Christmas time or something)—to flavor your beans.
This is just a basic, simple recipe. I've seen recipes that use a cup or so of orange juice; recipes that add sauteed onions and garlic at the end (instead of using dried onion); even recipes that add bell peppers and other veggies.
Spicy and very flavorful! Adapted from a recipe in Cooking Light, April 2010
Do you like ribs but hate fighting to get the meat of the bone in order to eat it? Do you hate the high fat content in the ribs? Then you will love this recipe. No Bones About It !
