I find the flavor and quality to be far above other brands I have tried. It comes in both Hickory and Apple Wood flavors. I used Wright® Brand Naturally Hickory Smoked Bacon for this Bacon Cheddar Cornbread, but Apple Wood would be equally delicious. I love that you get a full  pound and a half in a package and nothing beats those super thick slices. I’m a huge believer that bacon makes anything taste better and since it is one of the most versatile ingredients, I always have some in my fridge. Whether it’s with a side of eggs for breakfast, on a BLT sandwich for lunch, wrapped around some grilled chicken for dinner, or even sprinkled on top of a chocolate milkshake for dessert, bacon is never anything less than delicious.   Cast Iron Skillet  To make my Bacon Cheddar Cornbread, I start by crisping up lots of bacon in a cast iron pan. Cast Iron is perfect for cooking bacon and its even heat distribution makes wonderfully crispy but moist cornbread. How To Make Once the bacon is crispy, set it aside but leave a little bacon grease in the pan. It makes the bottom of the cornbread fabulously crisp and flavorful. I mix some of the bacon into the cornbread batter along with some shredded cheddar cheese. Pour the batter into the cast iron pan and then sprinkle the remaining bacon and cheese on top. Pop it in the oven and 30 minutes later you have the most delicious cornbread imaginable. How To Serve Bacon Cheddar Cornbread This cornbread goes super well with chili, soups, or stews and I really love it with BBQ Brisket, Spicy Collard Greens, and Creamy Butter Beans. Make It Spicy If you want your conrbread spicy, add a quarter to a half teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the batter. Storage Can be stored at room temperature in an airtight conatiner for 2 days or in the refrigerator for 4 days.   More Cornbread Recipes The BEST Jiffy Cornbread Cheesy Broccoli Cornbread Crackling Cornbread Honey Cornbread Hot Water Cornbread Texas-Style Jiffy Cornbread Buttermilk Cornbread Muffins Print Bacon Cheddar Cornbread Bacon Cheddar Cornbread has an irresistible salty, smoky flavor with just a little sweetness from some sugar and corn.

This recipe for Crock Pot Beef Tips is a simple slow cooker recipe that is easily thrown together with just a handful of ingredients. The meat comes out so tender with a thick, delicious gravy! THE MOST TENDER BEEF TIPS EVER! I truly love a dump and go slow cooker dinner. You can toss all the ingredients in the morning and come home to your house smelling delicious and dinner just about ready to go! These Crock Pot Beef Tips are made with a small amount of ingredients and you can easily tailor it to your family’s taste preferences. Serve with some steamed veggies and dinner is served! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: I don’t have a crock pot, how do you cook beef tips on the stove? Season the cuts of beef with lemon pepper seasoning. Add a little oil to a large pot. Brown the beef tips in a large pot. Remove them to a plate. Add the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth and onion soup mix to the pot. Whisk together well. Add the beef back to the pot. Cover and cook on low heat for about an hour. Right before they are done, whisk together melted butter and flour. Add this mixture into the pot. Turn the heat up on the pot to medium-high until the mixture thickens. Then serve. Can I make beef tips in the oven? Yep! Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Season the beef tips with lemon pepper seasoning. In a large oven safe pot or baking dish add the stew meat. In a bowl whisk together the the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth and onion soup mix. Pour this over the beef tips. Cover pot with a lid (or aluminum foil) and cook on the middle shelf for about an hour. If you need to thicken the sauce, follow my directions below for the butter/flour mixture to add to the pot. What cut of meat is best for beef tips? Since we are cooking this low and slow, you can use a cheaper cut of meat like chuck roast or round steak. Flat iron steak is still relatively inexpensive, serves the same amount of people and provides a lot of flavor. What do you serve with beef tips? I like serving beef tips over rice to take advantage of all that yummy gravy! You can also serve with my Million Dollar Mashed Potatoes or just some simple egg noodles. Also, we really love these Maple Glazed Carrots as a veggie side dish! Can I cook beef tips on high? It is not recommended. Of course you certainly could do it but I don’t think you’ll get the super tender meat that you would get if you cooked it low and slow – especially if you are using a tougher cut of meat. What size crock pot should I use? A five or six quart crock pot works perfect for this recipe. How do I store leftovers? Leftovers should be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) beef chuck roast – because we are cooking this on low, it will make this chuck roast come out so tender. You can certainly use other cuts of meat like round roast or even cheaper cuts of steak. You can pick up stew meat as well as it is already cut up, however, I find they cut the chunks a bit too big for my taste so I would probably end up cutting them to make smaller bites. lemon pepper seasoning – this might seem like weird seasoning for meat but it really works. You don’t taste the lemon. It seasons the meat without overwhelming all the other flavors going on. But use the seasoning you prefer. dry onion soup mix – I have a homemade onion soup mix recipe if you prefer to make it from scratch. cream of mushroom soup (lower sodium) – if you prefer to have a bit more control over what is in your condensed cream of mushroom soup, I have a homemade cream of mushroom soup recipe and you can control how much salt is added. If you don’t have cream of mushroom soup, you can substitute cream of chicken- you can use canned or make your own cream of chicken soup. But I will tell you that neither my husband and I enjoy mushrooms and we enjoy this. You don’t taste any mushrooms as an ingredient in this. beef broth (low sodium) – I am suggesting lower sodium ingredients here because this meal can get a bit too salty since we’re using ingredients that all have salt in them. If you prefer more salt then feel free to use the regular beef broth. butter and flour – I use this to thicken the gravy at the end but you can skip this part if you like your gravy on the thinner side. HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT BEEF TIPS: In a 5 quart slow cooker, combine dry onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup and beef broth. Whisk to combine (don’t worry if there are lumps, they will come out as it cooks.) Cut beef into about 1-inch cubes. Sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning on beef. Add meat to crock pot and give it all a good stir. Cover and cook on low for at least 6-8 hours. Once it’s ready, you can work on the gravy. Now, you can serve this up just as it is when it is ready. But I know some folks like a thicker gravy and it couldn’t be easier to make. In a medium pot, melt two tablespoons of butter. Once it is melted, add in about 3 heaping tablespoons of flour. Whisk it together until smooth. In French cooking terminology, this is called a “roux” (pronounced “roo”.) Pour in 2 cups of the beef broth mixture into the butter/flour mixture. What I like to do is scoop all the beef tips out of the crock pot and put them in a bowl or on a plate. Then pour 2 cups of the beef broth mixture into a measuring cup. Whisk it together until smooth, then bring the heat up to high (while whisking briskly the whole time.) It should quickly begin to thicken. Once it gets to your desired thickness, take it off the heat and pour it back into your crock pot. Then add the beef tips back in and stir well. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes or egg noodles! CRAVING MORE RECIPES?

Rolling Stones’ Charlie Watts died in August 2021 at the age of 80, and three years later, his bandmate Ronnie Woods is remembering him with a short heartfelt note. Ronnie Wood took to Instagram to mark Watts’ death anniversary with a black and white photo of them both, and a painting of Watts doing his thing on the drums. Ronnie simply captioned the post, “Miss you, Charlie,” with a white heart emoji. Although brief, the message carries a lot of weight as both men were good friends beyond business. The Rolling Stones official page also posted a tribute to Watts, noting that he was “a light so bright for all of us.” Fans react to Ronnie Wood’s tribute to Charlie Watts Instagram Fans responded to Ronnie’s post, complimenting their photo and gushing about Watts’ prowess behind the drums. “Miss his drum sound and his gentle smile behind the drums.

He recalled making a promise to the late musician that drummer Steve Jordan would continue his legacy, after which Watts asked him to get out so he could watch Frankie Dettori on TV.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Charlie Watts (@thisischarliewatts) Meanwhile, the Rolling Stones will be releasing their next album Hackney Diamonds in October, and it will feature Watts on two tracks, while Steve does the drumming on most songs in his absence.

The vacation never ends for former co-stars Chevy Chase and Christie Brinkley, who appeared together in National Lampoon’s Vacation over 40 years ago. Just this summer, the two got to reconnect, enjoy a very familiar road trip, and inspire a lot of nostalgia among fans. Originally inspired by the stories published in National Lampoon, the film series formally kicked off in 1983 and starred Brinkley and Chase, along with Beverly D’Angelo, Randy Quaid, John Candy, and Imogene Coca. This entry into the Griswold family’s dysfunctional world also served as Brinkley’s acting debut. Christie Brinkley shares a reunion selfie with Chevy Chase   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Christie Brinkley (@christiebrinkley) Earlier this week, Brinkley took to social media to share a series of photos and a video, all featuring herself and Chase. Each one shows them right beside one another grinning from ear to ear. In one image, they appear to be standing in an indoor venue, with Chase’s arm wrapped tight around a beaming Brinkley. RELATED: Chevy Chase Falls Off Stage At ‘Christmas Vacation’ Event After Arriving In A Wheelchair But it’s the other photos and the video that excited Brinkley’s 903k Instagram followers. They show Brinkley and Chase—still right beside one another— in the backseat of a moving car, the sunroof wide open and throwing light onto their happy expressions. “I can hear this picture,” one fan commented, adding, “HOLIDAY ROAD.” Indeed, in keeping with the theme, Brinkley captioned her post, “Vacation is always over too soon!” Nostalgia and reunions Christmas Con 2023 / Instagram Just last winter, Chase also enjoyed a reunion with D’Angelo, Quaid, and Miriam Flynn at Christmas Con 2023. In a post marking that occasion, Chase wrote, “So happy to have my daughter @em_chases and @alex.baglieri come by and say “hi” at @thats4ent this weekend.” NATIONAL LAMPOON’S VACATION, Chevy Chase, Christie Brinkley, 1983, (c) Warner Brothers/courtesy Everett Collection As far as a formal continuation of the Griswold family’s story in an actual film rather than a fan event, news has been relatively quiet. For those who do want to see these actors together, they do actually have another option on the menu, though. In January, filming launched for The Christmas Letter. Locals in Utica, where filming started, have dubbed it the National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation reunion because it stars Chase, Quaid, and Brian Doyle-Murray, familiar faces among Vacation fans. So far, there’s been no word if Brinkley will join Chase once again, four decades after her character distracted Chase’s while they drove beside one another. But perhaps Vacation fans will be in for a Christmas surprise!
