Busy Busy Busy

We hope you all had a great end of your year, and that your new year has started off well. To give a quick summary of what is happening here:

  1. We've got the store moving forward! The electricity has been upgraded to support the freezers. A floor plan has been set. Sheetrock is being replaced. Finally, a cold room is in the works as well!
  2. Calving season is due to start soon! Our spring cows are due starting in March, and we can't wait to have little babies everywhere again.
  3. Our Pick Your Own is ordered and will be planted very soon! We are elated about this event. Keep an eye on social media to see our posts about the progress, and when we will be open for picking!

In the meantime, here is a lovely sliders recipe for your superbowl party.

Honey Bacon Sliders

Ingredients

  • 2lbs JM2 Coarse Ground Beef (a wonderful alternative is a chuck, arm, or shank roast)
  • 4 JM2 Chicken Eggs
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 packet Ranch Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 Sweet Onion, diced
  • 8 slices Cheddar Cheese
  • 6 slices thick cut Bacon
  • 2 tbsp JM2 Honey
  • 2 tsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 package of 12 dinner rolls (Hawaiian Rolls work great)
  • Any other preferred toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and preheat grill/skillet.
  2. While the oven is preheating, lay bacon on baking sheet, spread evenly. Mix honey and brown sugar in a bowl and brush half over bacon. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove, turn over, and brush remaining honey mix over the other side. Bake another 15 minutes.
  3. While the bacon is cooking, mix the beef, eggs, and seasonings together in a bowl. Shape them into sliders and flatten them.

Note: If you need a size reference, make them slightly bigger than the buns because they will shrink slightly with cooking.

  1. Grill burgers for 2-4 minutes per side (or until at desired temp) add cheese.
  2. Add buns to oven (wrapped in tin foil) and bake for 15 minutes or as package instructs.
  3. Assemble with any other preferred toppings and enjoy!

*If using a roast, follow the same instructions with a crockpot, shred the roast rather than forming patties, and assemble with tongs on the bun.
