Ranch dressing seasoned boneless pork ribs, wrapped in bacon and slow cooked for 8 hours on LOW. Finished under broiler to crisp bacon!! Oh my.

Disclaimer: No jalepenos were harmed in the making of this dish. Hahaha.

I found Halibut and some Cod when I took everything out of the upright freezer yesterday. I used my wife's turbo hair dryer to quickly melt all the ice off the coils.

I need to do that, but we usually wait until the weather is nicer. Unload everything into coolers, defrost for 4-6 hours and dry, then re-load and kinda take inventory of what is there, and organize!!

Boneless Pork Rib Poppers - Caveman II
10 minutes to prep, 10 minutes to finish. 8 hours to slow cook

3-4# boneless pork rib meat (can be more, but adjust ingredients). Can use short ribs also, by removing bones.
1# sliced bacon (for wrapping each piece). Large pieces of pork may take two slices of bacon.
1-2 packages of powdered Ranch dressing mix. Can sprinkle on each side on a tray, or toss in a bag or Tupperware container

Baking tray with wire rack (to drain, and for browning them in broiler - 2 minutes per side)

Trim all the fat and/or bones off the rib meat.
Season all of the pork rib meat with Ranch dressing mix ( can sprinkle, or use ZipLock or Tupperware)
Wrap each piece of powdered pork with one piece of bacon (two strips if the meat is large)
Crock pot on LOW for approx. 8 hours. Meat can be stacked on each other loosely.
Remove each piece from the pot, and place on wire rack in baking sheet.
Meat and bacon will be totally done, and very tender, but should be browned to crisp the bacon.
Two minutes on each side, turning once

Serve with more Ranch dressing or BBQ sauce for dipping.
Salad, Cole slaw, sweet potatoes, or veggies of choice to accompany

It's OK, Eel. He kept it healthy by adding a salad. Bet he'll even share the recipe if you ask nice.

I boil a 12 quart pot of water and place it on a shelf while I use a hair dryer above . It took me about 45 minutes. Sure was nice to find 6 Huckleberry Freezer Jam bottles also !

Sure glad all 3 of mine are frostless.

More expensive to buy, more expensive to run, more stuff to go wrong and need repair, and ours has paid for itself over 20 years. I'm retired, so I have the extra 4 hours every 3 years to spend on it!!

I just cleaned the chest freezer- sadly I found tons of burger and chicken and T Bone Steaks all at least a year old. I hope they still taste good

 

[coloradoman]

If they are vacuum packed they will be just fine!!
