  • 1 lb ground beef
  • Cookshack RibRub
  • Suggested Vegetables for smoking (quantity depends on your taste):
  • Mushrooms
  • Garlic
  • Green Peppers
  • Onions
  • Tomatoes 

    • Using 2 Seafood Grills, place pinched hamburger meat on one grill and sprinkle RibRub onto meat.

    Spread your veggies on the second grill. If they don't all fit, use 3 Seafood Grills.

    Smoke-cook at 225º for 45 minutes without wood. If your smoker is well seasoned, the flavoring in the cabinet will put flavor all the great smoky flavor needed into your ingredients without overpowering them.

    Sauce:
    • 2 large cans of tomato sauce
    • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

    In a large sauce pan combine all smoked ingredients along with canned tomato sauce, Italian Seasoning, salt and pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes.

    While sauce is simmering, boil your spaghetti noodles.

    Serve with garlic bread and a salad for an awesome meal!]]>    http://cookshack.publishpath.com/karens-smoked-spaghetti-sauce1    Smokin' Okie's Vinegar Mop for Pulled Porkhttp://cookshack.publishpath.com/smokin-okies-vinegar-mop-for-pulled-pork2Wed, 02 Jan 2008 17:29:06 GMTSmokin' Okie
  • 2 cups cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 Tablespoons salt (I like the flavor in Kosher/Sea Salt and bigger granules)
  • 2 Tablespoon red pepper (crushed)
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne (I've also used Hungarian Paprika)

    • This sauce does not need to be cooked. Combine ingredients and refrigerate overnight.
