Another beautiful day out again, clouding up as the day went on though. Possible snow in the morning but with our recent run of sun and higher temps, it shouldn't stick or cause problems. Don't forget to move your clocks up an hour tonight before you go to bed, "Spring Forward". I don't like moving the clocks up, I'm an early riser so that means it will still be dark out when I get up. I received my order from Wild Idea Buffalo late yesterday afternoon and wasted no time on using one of the items right away! Tonight I prepared Crock Pot Buffalo Back Ribs w/ Applewood Smoked Bacon Potato Casserole and Steam Crisp Sweet Corn Kernels.
First time using the Wild Idea Buffalo - Buffalo Back Ribs. These were Monster size Ribs with plenty of meat! I used the recipe that I use when I make the Pork Back Ribs. Last night before I went to bed I cut the Ribs in half, so they’ll fit in the Crock Pot, and put each half in a Hefty Gallon Plastic Bag then covered the Ribs in JB’s Fat Boy Haug Waush BBQ Sauce to marinate all night in the fridge. Then this morning I got out the Crock Pot, lined it with a Reynold’s Crock Pot Plastic Liner, and sprayed that with Pam Non-Stick Spray. Got the Ribs out of the fridge and the bags, discarded the Hefty Bags, and put them in the Crock Pot where I let them cook and simmer, on low, for about 8 hours.
Long up in the afternoon you can start smelling the aroma of the Ribs, intoxicating! After the 8 hours their ready and now for the hard part of cooking them, getting them out whole without breaking them up! Their that tender, when eating them you need no knife, the bones just slide out. Tender, moist and just full of flavor! For all of us JB’s Fat Boy Sauces and Rubs can’t be beat. Ribs are incredible anytime, but the Wild Idea Buffalo Back Ribs take it to another level! Very meaty with that delicious Sweet and Wild Buffalo taste! I'll have to get some more and grill them later this Spring. As usual I love using that Crock Pot, no mess and with the plastic liner in the Crock Pot no clean-up. Just wipe it down and store it for the next time.
For one side I prepared Idahoan Applewood Smoked Bacon Homestyle Casserole. Second time I tried the Idahoan Applewood Smoked Bacon Homestyle Casserole. Like the other Idahoan dishes their a breeze to prepare and a delicious Potato Dish. And like the others this turned out fantastic! Very well seasoned, and you can taste that Applewood bacon flavor. Then I also heated up a can of Green Giant Steam Crisp Super Sweet Yellow and White Whole Kernel Corn. To me it's one of the best canned Corn there is. For dessert later a bowl of Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunks.

Idahoan Applewood Smoked Bacon Homestyle Casserole
The saying is “everything is better with bacon” and we couldn’t agree more. That’s why we incorporated Applewood Smoked Bacon in with our rich cheesy sauce for this homestyle casserole that is sure to become a family favorite.
Oven Preparation
Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine potatoes and sauce mix in 1 1⁄2-quart baking dish.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups boiling water, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 1/2 Tbsp. margarine or butter with whisk.
Bake uncovered for 25 minutes or until top is golden brown and potatoes are tender (sauce will thicken slightly when cooling). Remove from oven and let stand a few minutes before serving.
Baking Notes: To prepare 2 casseroles at once, double all ingredients, increase baking dish size accordingly, and bake about 30 min.
Stove Top Preparation
Heat potatoes and sauce mix, 1 1/2 cups hot water, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 1/2 Tbsp. margarine or butter to boil in 2-quart saucepan over high heat, stirring occasionally. Watch carefully to avoid boilover.
Reduce heat, then cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and sauce reaches desired consistency (sauce will thicken slightly when cooling).
Remove from heat and let stand a few minutes before serving.
