Got a chub... and rubbed it.

UncleFred

but you're gonna have to use your imagination, because I did it a while back and was too busy at the time to take pictures.

We have a Costco "Business Center" in town (They are a step or two above a regular Costco and a step or two below Restaurant Depot in selection *pictures below*). Anyway, I was there this morning and was reminded of something I did a while back that I thought I'd share here.

They sell 3 lb chubs of Jimmy Dean sausage... so I got one.


I surgically sliced off the wrapper, and liberally rubbed it all over with my favorite rub (while humming a Billy Squier tune) then grilled it (indirect with applewood smoke as I remember).

While waiting for it to grill, I baked up a couple of tubes of Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits.

When it was done I sliced the chub into 1/2 inch rounds, placed a round and a bit of cheese on each biscuit, wrapped them individually and froze them.

Then on cold mornings when I'm running late, or truth be told, just about any morning, I take one out of the freezer, pop it into the microwave for 90 seconds or so and have a hot, smokey sausage biscuit that reminds me good grillin' from the Egg.  MUCH better than a fast food or store bought breakfast sandwich.

Some pictures from the Costco Business Center.

Must be nice to live in old Price Club territory or up near Issaquah, WA.

Dem imaginary sammichs sure did taste good though...  If it didn't happen does that mean that they have no calories??

Imaginary or not, this sounds awesome. I've always wanted to see the Costco promised land and go to the Business ones as well as Costco Home.

No pictures of your chub rub? How disappointing.

If you'd did rub your chub. I think a great song to go with that is " I Feel Good"

UrbanForestTurnings

Or " let's Twist Again"

UrbanForestTurnings

Or. "Just Beat it "

It must have been a dream. When you woke up, was your pillow missing?     =P~

That is a great idea on the home-made frozen sausage biscuits.

I always double wrap to prevent frost.  First with saran wrap then with aluminum foil.

I remove the foil (obviously) before popping them into the microwave but leave the saran wrap on to retain moisture and "steam" it a bit.

Jury is still out about having the cheese on the frozen biscuit or adding it after its microwaved.

You double wrap your chub? I think you better post something on my v.d ThrowDown

I did it like I generally do a meatloaf... probably between 250-325
depending on factors like how much smokiness I want and how much time I
have.

But Egg temp is not the driving force, it's the internal
temp.  A wide range if egg temp will "work" so long as the heat of the
meat is where you need it to be.

...and like meatloaf, I pulled it between 160-165
