well we are excited to welcome Steve
harden to the daytime kitchen he's from
the Ronald McDonald House Charities of
Southwest Virginia welcome to the show
thank you and I understand that cooking
really kind of got you involved in
Ronald McDonald House is that right it
actually it actually did I have been
involved with Ronald McDonald House for
a decent amount of time but about two
years ago chip more over to Brambleton
deli had a had a celebrity kind of come
in cooked for your favorite charity and
face book got me in trouble because I
had I had just gotten a smoker and so I
was smoking things left and right there
wasn't anything I didn't want to smoke
and so I was posting it on Facebook all
the time and once I did that chip said
hey you keep putting all this stuff out
there you got to come show it off so we
had a big night and we raised four
hundred dollars for the Ronald McDonald
House that night and that kind of caught
the eye of at the time the new director
Hannah and she asked me to get a little
more involved and I ended up on the
board and I'm here cooking today was
that and what made you really want to
stay with that was about two years ago
and I've been involved in a little bit
before but what made me want to was
basically their mission you know folks
who come out and have a sick kid and
have to get somewhere like Roanoke where
the medical attention is available they
don't often have the money to stay
somewhere you could stay for a long
period of time and so Ronald McDonald
House while it does get some funding
from corporations really it needs to
fundraise all the time so fundraising
and that sort of thing is what drew me
to the Ronald McDonald House to help
them complete their mission wow that's
awesome okay you have a couple events
coming up we do one of our big one
course we have our golf tournament which
was supposed to be in October however it
is now November 8th at the pti river
course because weather just has killed
everything as you know in the fall and
then December we have our shine alight
share a night event and on December 2nd
we'll be doing our tree lighting
ceremony so you cannot make a donation
in honor of someone and then we'll put a
light on the tree fort oh that's
wonderful
all right and people can go to the RM HC
southwest.com website for more
information on all bats that's correct
all right we're gonna be cooking here in
just a little bit we're gonna be cooking
something that Steve calls up fatty hey
what
[Music]
we are back in the daytime kitchen with
Steve pardon from Ronald McDonald House
Charities of Southwest Virginia and we
are about to make something you call the
patty in the smoking meat world which I
told you kind of it's kind of my hobby
is smoking meat a fatty is beef and
sausage rolled around any kind of
filling that you want okay and then
wrapped in bacon I wanted to be popular
so I did something with bacon which
usually makes me a popular guy and then
you go ahead and you put it in a smoker
but it's also perfectly acceptable to do
at home in your oven and that's what
we're gonna show a couple of quick tips
if you ever have to roll anything even
if you were making a brazeau or anything
like that
get yourself plastic bag get a 1 get a
one gallon plastic bag and that way you
can roll the meat out and look what you
end up with you end up with that's
exactly a square that you need to go
ahead and do your rolling you can fill
this with anything you want this is
again is beef and sausage mixed together
today we're gonna put some peppers and
onions in there that I spent hours
cutting I do that but the bag stuff
works great when you're doing something
like this yeah you can also once you
have that now we do cheese any kind of
cheese that you want and obvious copious
amounts of cheese because I had that in
with copious amounts of bacon yeah then
you go ahead and roll and this is where
your plastic helps you you can kind of
go like that to get started this is like
making sushi and then that is meat meat
sushi there you go that's the weekend
that's what we can call this and you go
ahead and work this together to make
basically a loaf and once you have that
loaf which looks a little better when
it's like that flip it when it's flipped
you basically have the basics of a fatty
now you could just wrap this with bacon
if you wanted to but you need to be a
little fancier than that and don't be
afraid of making a bacon we've take five
pieces of bacon and lay them out long
ways and then why you might think the
weaving part is difficult it's not you
pull back the two that you want to weave
you were just talking to people who
weave and watch oh this time we're gonna
now we take the two pieces you need to
put it down then you do the ones that
you need back up look at that then you
slide another piece of bacon on
and all of a sudden once you bring it
down you are back to having a perfect
bacon weave you take your loaf you could
also do that for anything put it in the
middle and then you take bacon whoops
and I know it kind of looks like it
falls apart but we're not really worried
about the appearance of the bottom it's
delish it is gonna give add fat to it
especially this is done when you're
smoking because over a period of time
meat can dry out now while that doesn't
look great like that you have a perfect
bacon weave and when you are done you
put it in the oven about 350 degrees and
you bring it out this is still it's just
warmed but that was done earlier and
there is what your finished product
looks like oh my gosh this is great
most importantly the cool part is when
you take it you slice through the center
talked to me hopefully you have perfect
pieces that have your filling inside as
well as your bacon boom baby heading on
out add some add some mashed potatoes
add some cheese or add some mac and
cheese some mashed potatoes take it out
know your presentation I know
presentation on your plate looks like
that your guests think you're just
amazing because you have this bacon
weave around there and we just did it in
a couple of minutes to show you I'm
gonna I'm gonna do this at home a
family's gonna be so impressed and you
can too we're gonna post the recipe on
daytime Blue Ridge fatty it's just under
fatty I mean it's a big important
sausage it's not no wrong you cannot go
wrong and thank you for your help with
Ronald McDonald House locally we thank
you personally okay
all right time now to pop on over to
