Corned Beef Brine

 omg. I should have wrote this down the last time I did this because I had to search through tons of webpages to find what I wanted.

I am referencing this page https://www.bbq-brethren.com/threads/corned-beef-pastrami.290352/

Instructions.

-thaw meat

-put meat loosely in brining container (5gal bucket)

-fill with water to cover to find amount of liquid needed to cover. I used a 2qt measuring cup.

Make brine based on 

1 gallon of water
125 grams canning salt
25 grams white sugar
25 grams brown sugar
20 grams Cure #1 (heaping tablespoon)
3/4 teaspoon black pepper

I used sugar and molasses and added pickling spices. Heat 3/4 of mixture on stove to dissolve salt and sugar.

Add ice to cool, then pour over meat in bucket. Put on lid and store for 10-20 day in the frig.

Lasagna Soup (Can use gnocchi)

 This is not really from a recipe but mostly just what a throw in.

Ingredients

Basically make a spaghetti sauce base.

-ground meat

-onions/carrot/celery

-mushrooms because I like them. I normally use reconstituted dry mushrooms

-stock and water

-can (20oz??) of Hunt's spaghetti sauce. I use Hunt's Garlic and Herb because it has the least added sugar, and it is the cheapest. You can use what you like.

-can diced tomatoes.

-cumin

-basil

-oregano

-onion powder

-garlic powder

-monetary steak seasoning (optional)

-salt if needed.

-noodles of some sort, I used gnocchi last time

-spinach (I use frozen)

-cottage cheese

-Cook down ground meat, onions, carrots, and celery. 

-Add mushrooms and reconstitute water.

-Add stock. I normally have frozen or canned stock (Thanks Kaylin) and I normally add ~1qt and then rinse out the containers with water and dump that in the pot. If I don't have stock, then I use equivalent to 1-2qt water with bullion.

-Add spaghetti sauce and dice tomatoes.

-Add cumin, basil, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, monetary steak seasoning, and salt if needed.

-Bring to a simmer, if it needs to thicken a little.. let it simmer off for a while (10-20min)  and then add pasta or gnocchi and simmer an additional 7-10min, till pasta or gnocchi if cooked.

-Shut off fire and add spinach and cottage cheese.
