I understand the nature of the question, but picking 3 toppings only is counter to the very idea of the hotdog.
Sometimes I want Chicago style, sometimes chili-cheese, sometimes kraut and stone ground, and that's the thing I like best about hot dogs.
But in the spirit of the post, if I was given one shot, one opportunity, to top my hot dog with exactly 3 things, hard to beat classic Kraft American slice, yellow mustard, and fresh diced onion. [Reply]
Question: I'm experimenting with a slow cooker pot roast. Now I don't like finding a bunch of funky connective tissue and shit in my roast so I've been using a lean London Broil/Top Round. To get a good tasting gravy with a decent thickness and flavor I've had to toss in a pack of dry gravy mix. My results:
How can I eliminate the need for the brown gravy mix? I've tried "Better Than Bouillon" and it adds a lot of the flavor that I'm looking for but it still has too much sodium.
Do I have to use a fattier cut of meat? If so, is there any way to avoid having to pick through the remaining fat and gunk after I'm finished cooking?
Goals:
1) a great tasting gravy with a sodium content low enough that every slug within a 50 mile radius doesn't immediately shrivel into non-existence.
or
2) A cut of meat that doesn't remind you of that scene in The Great Outdoors where John Candy has to eat a plate full of gristle and fat. [Reply]
