Pickled Onions and Cornbread

[mountainhawg]

Strong cold front along with some light snow heading our way tonight, high tomorrow on the mountain here expected in upper 30's so ham and beans (15 Bean, Cajun style) are on the menu. Made the onions early this afternoon and tried them on hot dogs we had for dinner, pretty good. My wife is diabetic (type II) so I used half the sugar (used raw) and after the boil added 3 packs of Equal. I think on the beans they will be excellent. Almost bought little white onions and I would have kept them whole, but felt they would have to sit for several days to suck up the flavoring.

Picture is from last night at midnight at my house. Was out at 6:30 AM lighting off the grill this morning with 21/2 pounds of jerky to do. It was 19 degrees! It was low and slow for awhile! Beans in the crock pot smelling great and waiting for the pickled onions!

The onions went terrific with the beans, much better than on the hot dog. My wife said we WILL have those again the next time we have beans and ham.

We always had cucumbers and onions in the summer growing up. Could eat them by the pound! Will have to make some up! Wonder how they'd be with chili?

Mountain...cool! I think they are better that way. A bit strong for a dog! :biggrin:

Smoke....we did too along with fresh tomatos every nite. Would be great on chili!
