Dry Rubbed Chili Lime Boneless Pork Brisket w/ Cheddar and Bacon Mashed Cauliflower and Green Beans

Dinner Tonight: Dry Rubbed Chili Lime Boneless Pork Brisket w/ Cheddar and Bacon Mashed Cauliflower and Green Beans






For Breakfast on this snowy March morning I toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin,

lightly fried slices of Boar's Head Sweet Sliced Ham, and 1 slice of Sargento Reduced Fat Swiss Cheese. And I had my Breakfast Sandwich! I also had that morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Outside another snow squall moved through the area, just like yesterday morning and about the same time of morning. Some areas had 2" or more, we had a little over a 1/2". Guess Old Man Winter wanted everyone to know its still Winter! Back into the 60's by Monday though. After Lunch went to see Dad at the rehab center. He wasn't looking too good today. I'm starting to really worry about him, hope he can turn it around. For Dinner tonight a couple of new items. I prepared a Dry Rubbed Chili Lime Boneless Pork Brisket w/ Cheddar and Bacon Mashed Cauliflower and Green Beans.


First time we have tried the Swift Premium Dry Rubbed Chili Lime Boneless Pork Brisket. We've

tried a few of the others so we thought we would try the Brisket. I'm not normally a fan of Brisket of any kind but this one has changed my mind on Brisket! It comes already seasoned; Dry Rubbed Chili Lime. It comes packaged in 2 pieces. I used our large Cast Iron Skillet to cook it in. To prepare it; Preheated a lightly oiled, used Extra Light Olive Oil, Cast Iron skillet over medium-high heat. Removed meat from package and coated the Brisket lightly with Pam Cooking Spray and placed in skillet. Sauté approximately 10 to 12 minutes before turning. Turn the brisket and cook another 6 to 7 minutes. Sauté until the internal temperature reached 145˚F in the thickest part of the meat.

Removed from skillet and let it rest for 3 minutes. Sliced and served! It came out delicious! Nice Char on the outside and it was tender and moist and cooked perfectly. We'll have this again soon!









For one side dish I tried another new item, the Green Giant Cheddar and Bacon Mashed Cauliflower.

I found it Meijer the other day. I read the reviews on it and it seemed everyone enjoyed the taste but a common complaint was it too watery and thin. So I added a teaspoon of flour too it during the final 10 minutes of baking time and it seemed to cure that problem. It comes frozen in microwavable or baking tray, I baked mine. To prepare it; Preheated the oven to 425 degrees. i cut 2 slits near the center of the plastic to vent. Placed it on a baking sheet and placed it in the oven and baked it for 30 minutes. Removed it from the oven after the 30 minutes and peeled back the plastic and stirred. I also added a teaspoon of flour to it to thicken it up a bit. Replaced the film back on top and baked an additional 12 minutes. Removed it from the oven and let it stand 1 minute. Stirred it and served! Excellent taste and the flour thickened up just enough. Nice change of pace side dish.

Then I also heated up a can of my favorite, Del Monte Cut Green Beans. Just empty the can into a small sauce pan and heat to a light boil and heat until warmed. I also heated up the leftover French Bread. For desert later a Weight Watcher's Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bar.
