In a food processor, create breadcrumbs from 1/2 loaf of sliced whole wheat bread on high speed for about 15 seconds. Add 1 large egg, 1 tsp. liquid hickory smoke seasoning, 1 tsp. each onion and garlic powders, and 2 beef flavor enhancers. Form dime-sized meatballs from this mixture. Cook them in a skillet using 1 can beef broth for 10 minutes covered with a lid over medium heat. Drain them on a white paper towel. Crumble the cooked meatballs into a saucepan, and add your favorite barbeque sauce, (honey hickory,) to them and heat through. A diced sweet onion can also be added, if desired. Serve this Faux Barbequed Beef on hamburger buns with dill pickles.
To make Faux Boneless BBQ Beef, use the mixture to make patties, and cook them in the can of beef broth for 20 minutes, flipping patties over after cooking them 10 minutes. Keep skillet covered while cooking them. Once cooked, you can drain off any liquid, and use them as Faux Boneless Beef Riblets or slice them into Faux Boneless Beef Ribs, then continue with the recipe, by adding your favorite BBQ sauce over them, and heating through. Use as you would any BBQ Beef. Great to use for Memorial Day, July 4th, or Labor Day celebrations.
Make a Faux Slaw by processing a bag of clean uncooked fresh or frozen California Blend Vegetables (equal parts baby carrots, cauliflower florets, and broccoli florets) in your food processor until they are finely chopped. Pour into a bowl. Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, sea salt, and black pepper to suit your taste. Mix well with a spoon. Keep chilled and covered in the refrigerator until time to serve. This looks and tastes like real slaw. Serve with your Faux Barbequed Beef Sandwiches, Faux Boneless Beef Riblets, or Faux Boneless Beef Ribs.
Add a bag of Lay's Potato Chips, Potato Salad, and/or a large can Baked Beans with 1 cup of Dole drained diced apples added to the beans and heated through. Add a chilled soft drink or iced tea as your beverage. Serve a purchased apple pie with vanilla ice cream or sliced poundcake with red and blue berries on top with whipped topping as your dessert.
