PK Rib

Ever miss the MCRib from McDonalds, some times I do, but honestly why can’t we just make our own, wait we can, and honestly this was awesome, and one not to be ignored, let me know if you tried this.

Phase 1 Ingredients

2 Packs of ground pork
1 Large white onion
1 Jar of pickles
BBQ Sauce
4 TBS Garlic Powder
A pack of Kaiser sub buns

Phase 2 Instructions

In a bowl put your ground pork in, put in garlic powder, and mix it in well, and spend your time doing this as you want it incorporated. Then start making some really rectangle sized patties, make sure you squeeze and beat them as best you can, I don’t worry about making it look like a rib, you won’t get it perfect unless you actually have a mold, and to be honest its not that important just do your best.

Fry up your patties until done, when done put them in a bowl smother in BBQ sauce, put it on the patty, cover with onion and pickles and your done, very quick very simple.

We really enjoyed this, it was so tasty and amazing, I no longer care if MCDs ever brings theirs back, ours is better!

Big Mac Taco

Big Macs are awesome, however the real version has a lot of sugar in it, and the patties are too thin, and honestly I think if we make it ourselves it will be so much better, and honestly this turned out so amazing my wife and Alex won’t stop begging me to make it again and its only been a few days!

Phase 1 The Sauce

About 1 cup of mayo – Do not us e miracle whip, its garbage, best if you can mayo with olive oil.
A few drops of apple cyder vinegar
A few spoons of sweet hotdog relish (If you don’t have that you can use a sweet pickled cut up idealy in a food processor first.)
A few squirts of a nice BBQ Sauce
Do not add ketsup! (too much sugar)
Add some Smoked Paprika
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Mix it up really good

Phase 2 The Beef


Make some skinny burgers, you do want to fold this into a taco later, so you don’t want a super thick burger patty
And then cook your patties, maybe a bit of pepper but not much else.
Put some cheese on the top when you flip it once until it melts.

Phase 3 Putting it together
You can use a taco shell soft or hard, or you can get a tortilla shell
Put your patty in the taco
Pour some sauce into it
Have some chopped onion on it
Then some chopped lettuce
Maybe some more sauce

This is best served with some French fries, but its your choice!

We hope you like this, it is definitely one of our favorites, tastes great and best yet its super healthy, and you can use chicken or pork if you like, we have a room mate who won’t eat beef or pork, so we made hers from chicken, and wow it was awesome!
