In honor of pork month we will be sharing some fun pork recipe throughout the month! Here is the recipe:
Iowa Pork Chops:
Season your pork chops generously with your favorite seasoning. Place them on the smoker and cook until they reach your desired safe internal temperature. For a juicy pork, the USDA minimum is 145°F followed by a 3-minute rest.
Smoked Carrots
Toss carrots with:
• Olive oil
• Your favorite seasoning
Place on the smoker for about 20 minutes, or until tender.
Potatoes Au Gratin
Ingredients:
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 1½ cups heavy cream
• ½ cup whole milk
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• Black pepper to taste
• 4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed
• 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
Preheat your smoker to 500°F. Butter a casserole dish. Whisk together the cream, milk, flour, garlic, salt and pepper. Thinly slice the potatoes and layer ⅓ of them in the dish, followed by ⅓ of the cream mixture. Repeat for three layers and cover with foil.
Smoke for 30 minutes, remove the foil and cook for about 20 more minutes, until golden and bubbly. Top with cheddar and cook another 3–5 minutes, until melted.
And there you have it—the perfect smoked meal! 🥩🥕🥔🔥
