Hey y'all, I'm Paula Dean. Grab your
0:03
deck shoes because today we're going for
0:06
a ride on a tugboat. But before we go
0:08
out on the water, I've got to put a meal
0:11
together to help keep those sailors
0:13
happy. First up, I'm going to be making
0:15
a smoked Texas brisket that's sure to be
0:18
a manleaser. And nothing goes better
0:21
with brisket than beans. So, I'm going
0:24
to show you the secret to the perfect
0:26
pot of pinto beans. And then to spice
0:29
things up, I'm going to be making cold
0:31
slaw in a hot new way that I think
0:34
you're going to just love. And of
0:36
course, no meal is complete without
0:37
dessert. And my mile high strawberry
0:40
cream pie is just the perfect way to
0:43
cool down a hot meal. So meet me by the
0:46
docks, y'all, cuz today we going to be
0:49
having fun by the water.
1:23
all this beauty out here. And I'm the
1:26
newest member of the Groover family. And
1:28
so I affectionately call all this
1:31
Grooverville because it was established
1:34
years and years and years ago by Big
1:37
Henry and Caramel Groover. That would be
1:40
Michael's mother and daddy. This is Nick
1:42
and Jod's house right here. And of
1:45
course, this is the house that Michael
1:47
and I are building and the family home
1:49
that they actually grew up in. It's
1:51
where Father Hank lives. So, all the
1:54
brothers are still on the original spot.
1:57
I've got a great little setup right up
1:59
here. So, we might want to get started
2:01
on it if Michael and them are going to
2:02
get fed tonight. So, y'all come on. I
2:05
got a call from Michael a little while
2:07
ago and he said, "The crew and I are
2:08
going to be stuck on this tugboat until
2:10
about midnight. Is there any way you
2:11
could bring us some supper? And I said,
2:13
"Well, it'll work out perfect, Michael,
2:15
because I had just gotten all set up to
2:18
put a brisket on the grill." So, I'll
2:20
just go ahead and cook that. And I would
2:22
love to feed y'all. In fact, y'all can
2:25
be my guinea pigs because I don't know
2:27
if you caught my barbecue special, but
2:29
Tom out in San Antonio came and taught
2:32
me how to cook brisket. Well, I had
2:34
never cooked it before. So, I'm going to
2:36
cook this brisket and I'm going to cook
2:39
a nice pot of pinto beans in the crock
2:41
pot. And this the great part of this
2:44
meal is it can kind of tend to itself
2:46
cuz I got a lot of running and errands
2:48
that I've got to do. So, let's get
2:50
started. I've got my brisket here and
2:54
I'm going to put a dry rub on it. I've
2:57
got our house seasoning, chili powder,
3:00
just a little brown sugar, not much, and
3:02
a good bit of cayenne pepper and onion
3:06
salt and dried oregano. Now, all I'm
3:08
going to do is just mix all this
3:10
together and create my own rub. Now, you
3:13
can buy these already mixed up, but
3:15
they're so easy to make in your own
3:17
kitchen, and that way you can put your
3:20
flavors that you're really crazy about
3:23
together. Oh, it smells good. I love the
3:26
the chili powder smell. Now, we're going
3:28
to coat this good. Tom told me not to be
3:31
shy.
3:32
All right. So, I've got that side coated
3:35
good. So, I'm going to flip him over and
3:37
coat this other side. I'm just going to
3:40
pour it all on and rub it rub it into
3:43
him because I want those flavors all
3:46
inside of him. Just like that. And
3:49
you'll see that this was the the fat
3:51
side. Love that little bit of fat on
3:53
that brisket.
3:55
real real rich, but it's so good. Tom
3:58
taught me to to cook this at like 250°
4:02
for 10 to 12 hours. Well, I'm going to
4:05
cook this in a smoker, which has a a
4:07
smaller surface, so I doubt that I can
4:10
get it as low as 250, but I'm going to
4:12
put it on the smoker. All right. Now, my
4:14
heat force contains charcoal, soaked
4:17
hickory, and a pan of water. And because
4:20
the smoker has such a small surface,
4:23
it's very hard for me to cook this using
4:26
indirect heat because of the compactness
4:29
of the coals. So, we're going to see how
4:31
it'll do, but I think it's going to do
4:32
just fine. So, we'll just put this on
4:35
the grill.
4:37
All right. So, we're just going to put
4:39
this on our fire.
4:41
And the secret to cooking brisket is low
4:45
and slow. So, I'm going to keep this
4:48
fire as low as I can get it. Now, I'm
4:51
going to cook this meat for about 6
4:53
hours uh until it's 190°.
4:58
And I'll show you a trick that Tom
5:00
showed me when we'll decide whether it's
5:03
ready or not. And it's a real easy
5:05
trick. All right. So, that takes care of
5:07
that. Uh it'll kind of tend to itself.
5:11
There we go. The meat was almost so big,
5:13
I think it just got caught up under the
5:15
lid. But come on back over here with me.
5:17
I'm going to wash my hands. All right.
5:19
So, I want to give my hands a wipe and
5:21
then we're going to get started on our
5:23
pinto beans. And this is another easy
5:26
dish that's going to take care of itself
5:27
for the next few hours. I have been
5:30
soaking our pintos. And when I started,
5:34
it was actually covered in water. Those
5:36
beans have already soaked up that water
5:39
and they've gotten puffy on us.
5:42
So, I'm just going to drain that water
5:44
out. Now, you can cook your pintos with
5:47
any different seasoning that you want.
5:49
Uh, you know, I'm a ham hock girl and
5:52
I've had it cooking in a saucepan. So,
5:54
I've got our crock pot ready. So, all
5:57
we're going to do is take our pinto
5:59
beans,
6:02
throw them into our crock pot.
6:05
And for this amount of beans, I'm going
6:07
to put in four cups of water, a half a
6:12
teaspoon of dried oregano, about a
6:14
teaspoon of chili powder,
6:17
and
6:20
I'm going to start with like a teaspoon
6:21
of house seasoning. Now, I'm going to
6:23
take this seasoned water
6:27
and add it to the crock pot. So, you
6:30
might want to hold back. You saw me put
6:33
four cups of water in it. I would
6:35
probably hold back and use this water
6:38
first and then if it needs any more, you
6:41
can add additional water.
6:44
But I'm just going to let those cook
6:46
away. I think the only thing this pot
6:48
needs now is an onion. And I'm going to
6:51
just pedal this onion and throw it over
6:53
in there. Or you could just throw your
6:55
onion in there whole. It really doesn't
6:57
matter. The main thing is uh onions and
7:00
pinto beans go together. So, just make
7:02
sure that you have your onion in your
7:05
pot.
7:08
All right. So, we've got our onion in
7:09
there. So, that pot's ready. We've got
7:12
our brisket on. We've got our pinto
7:15
beans and ham hock in the crock pot. And
7:17
when we come back, I'm going to be
7:19
making a hot cole slaw. And you're not
7:21
going to believe this mile high
7:23
strawberry pie that I'm cooking up for
7:26
Michael and the crew. So, y'all don't go
7:39
[Music]
7:45
If y'all have just joined me, I want to
7:47
let you know what I'm doing here. I got
7:49
a phone call from Michael earlier this
7:51
morning and he's stuck on the tugboat
7:53
with a crew and he said they were
7:55
starving. And I said, "Well, perfect."
7:57
Cuz I was just getting ready to put a
7:58
brisket on. So, I'm cooking a brisket.
8:01
I've cooked a pot of pinto beans and now
8:04
I'm fixing to make hot coles slaw. Our
8:06
brisket is on the smoker and it should
8:09
be almost ready. But before I go look at
8:12
that, I'm just going to throw some bacon
8:15
in our skillet here and let it start
8:18
browning. And then we're going to go
8:20
over there and check on our brisket. I
8:22
think that'll be fine. I've got that on
8:23
low. So, let's come over here and look.
8:26
And I'm going to be very optimistic. I'm
8:27
going to take my cutting board with me.
8:30
So, like I said, I'm going to be real
8:32
optimistic. I'm bringing my platter with
8:34
me. Uh, hoping it's going to be ready.
8:37
Oh, it looks like a beauty, doesn't it?
8:40
Now, Tom told me when I think my
8:43
brisket's ready to run my knife up under
8:47
it. You can see it wanting to bend on me
8:50
in the middle. And he said when it wants
8:52
to bend like that that it should be nice
8:54
and done. So I'm going to try to I may
8:58
have to get the tongs for this. So here
9:01
we go.
9:06
Oh, doesn't that look good?
9:11
All right. Now I'm going to bring it
9:12
back up here and we're going to let it
9:14
just sit out and rest for a few minutes
9:16
before we cut it. And that'll give us
9:18
time to get our slo made. I think
9:21
there's gonna be some happy men on that
9:23
tugboat.
9:27
That's a pretty piece of meat.
9:30
All right, I smell our bacon and I think
9:32
it's ready.
9:34
All right, now to make our coles slaw,
9:36
I'm going to cook our green peppers and
9:39
our onions. I'm gonna dump it in that
9:41
hot bacon grease
9:44
and I'm gonna cook them just for a
9:46
minute
9:48
until they're just barely limp.
9:51
There's nothing like the smell of onions
9:53
and bell peppers.
9:56
All right. And now I'm going to add a
9:58
shredded sloth. Now you can use um the
10:01
prepackaged already shredded from the
10:03
grocery store. I just wouldn't recommend
10:05
the angel hair because it's such a fine
10:08
shred of cabbage. it'll get too done.
10:10
And we're gonna dump this in here and
10:13
just let it just heat because we want
10:17
our coles slaw to still be crispy. I've
10:20
never had a cole slaw where you actually
10:23
cooked your cabbage. All right, you can
10:25
see how our cabbage is kind of limping
10:27
out on us. Now, to our cabbage, I'm
10:30
going to add four tablespoons of chili
10:33
powder. That looks like a lot, doesn't
10:35
it? And I'm going to add a little bit of
10:37
salt.
10:40
And I'm going to add one can of hot
10:43
Rotel tomatoes.
10:46
So, this is going to be a hot and spicy
10:49
coles slaw. And the men are just going
10:50
to love it cuz all those men down there
10:53
on the river like hot food.
10:56
And I just want to make sure I stir it
10:58
up good and stir that chili powder
11:02
all through that cabbage. All right, I'm
11:05
just going to plate this up.
11:08
and get it out of that pot because it's
11:11
going to keep cooking. So, I want to get
11:14
it away from that heat source just as
11:17
quick as I can.
11:19
Doesn't it just look good? And smells so
11:24
good. It's really a different type of
11:27
cole slaw. All right.
11:31
All right. I got that bowled up. Now
11:34
I'm going to bowl up some of these
11:36
beans.
11:40
That looks so good.
11:43
Oh, and I'm going to pull me off some of
11:45
that ham. There's nothing like a little
11:48
ham hawk in with your beans.
11:54
All right, we're getting closer to
11:55
tasting and I'm getting closer and
11:58
closer to getting the food to the men.
12:00
Now, I think I'm going to take this
12:02
bacon and just crumble it around the
12:06
edges. Just like that. And I'm going to
12:09
take some chives.
12:12
And I think I'm just going to snip a few
12:15
on top just for that bright green color.
12:20
And these beans don't need a thing.
12:24
But I'll still just dress them with a
12:26
little parsley just to make them look
12:28
good. And I saved the best for last. And
12:32
I can't hardly wait to cut into this and
12:34
see what it's like. So, y'all ready? Oh
12:37
my goodness. Look at that. Look at the
12:41
juice coming out of it. I don't think
12:43
I'll ever be frightened of cooking
12:46
brisket ever again. And y'all won't
12:49
notice that I'm cutting it against the
12:51
grain. If you didn't, you wouldn't be
12:54
able to chew this meat. It would be so
12:56
tough. And you can see how the the top
13:00
of it is turning a little pink. And
13:03
that's from the smoke. Oh my goodness.
13:06
I'm so proud of it, y'all. This looks so
13:08
good. I don't even think I'm going to
13:10
bother putting me a little plate
13:12
together. I think I'm just going to eat
13:13
it like it is cuz I got to get this down
13:16
to those men quickly.
13:25
Out of this world. Y'all got to go to
13:28
the store, get you a brisket, and cook
13:29
it. You're going to love it. And the dry
13:32
rub, it has just enough heat in it from
13:34
the red pepper that it's got a nice
13:37
little bite to it. It's wonderful.
13:40
Now, these beans.
13:44
M. These pinto beans are so good. Now,
13:48
if you don't have a crock pot, you can
13:49
cook them on top of the stove. Either
13:51
way, they're wonderful. And I'm real
13:53
anxious to taste this hot coles slaw.
13:57
Looks so pretty. Love all the colors.
14:03
M. I love it. And it's really got a kick
14:06
to it. Michael's going to love it. I've
14:09
got to take a quick break. I got to load
14:10
all this stuff up and get it to Michael.
14:12
But y'all don't leave me yet because the
14:15
best is coming up. And that's a
14:17
strawberry pie that's going to cool
14:19
everybody's taste buds down at the end
14:21
of this hot meal. So, I'll see y'all in
14:24
a few minutes.
14:38
[Music]
14:41
Well, y'all, I'm saving the best for
14:43
last. I'm fixing to make Michael a
14:44
dessert, and it's a strawberry pie. I
14:48
hear all the birds back there. Look, a
14:50
shrimp boat's coming in. Isn't it
14:53
beautiful? I never get tired of seeing
14:56
them coming by the house. All right,
14:58
this is an easy pie. We going to throw
15:00
it together like one, two, three.
15:02
Somebody said a while ago, Paula, do you
15:04
know you've done a whole show without a
15:05
stick of butter? Wrong. We got a stick
15:08
of butter in this bowl. I'm fixing to
15:11
whip it up. And this is at room
15:13
temperature. It's gotten real soft
15:19
now. I'm going to add some powdered
15:20
sugar.
15:23
Do you hear the seagulls
15:25
uh yelping out there? Uh that's because
15:29
they're falling behind that shrimp boat
15:31
to get food, to get any shrimp that they
15:34
might drop.
15:37
So, I've got my butter whipped and now
15:39
I'm going to add some powdered sugar.
15:46
All right, I've got two eggs
15:50
and I'm going to beat these up and I'm
15:52
going to add them to the butter and the
15:54
cream cheese. All right, you and I have
15:56
talked a lot of times about raw eggs.
15:59
Some of you are concerned about it, some
16:01
of us are not. I happen to be one of
16:03
those that's not concerned about it
16:05
because I always make sure I use fresh
16:07
eggs. Uh, never an expired egg nor an
16:10
egg that's got a crack in it. I always
16:13
throw those away. But if you're
16:15
concerned about the eggs, you can use a
16:16
pasteurized egg or you can use the egg
16:19
beers. Now, I'm going to beat these up
16:23
and I'm going to add them to our butter
16:26
and our powdered sugar.
16:34
All right, I've got those beat up. Now,
16:36
I'm going to put those in. It's a
16:37
storebought pie crust. This will be
16:39
fine. Michael won't care a bit. All
16:42
right. So, I'm going to put this to the
16:44
side
16:45
and let it sit for a minute. And I'm
16:48
going to get my fresh whipped cream and
16:51
I'm going to add a layer.
16:54
Just going to spread that kind of over
16:57
and around our butter and sugar mixture.
17:02
All right. Now, I'm going to come over
17:03
here and I'm going to slice some fresh
17:07
strawberries. Now, I too much wouldn't
17:09
recommend
17:11
using a frozen strawberry because they
17:13
contain so much water. And you could use
17:16
any kind of fruit that you wanted to.
17:18
This would be wonderful with blueberries
17:20
or raspberries if you're a raspberry
17:23
lover. And the whipped cream, to me,
17:26
it's just a travesty if that cream is
17:28
not sweetened. So, I always put a four
17:31
of a cup of sugar to one cup of whipping
17:34
cream, no matter what I'm doing with it.
17:37
All right. So, I'm going to toss this in
17:38
a little sugar.
17:43
Just want to make sure that our berries
17:45
are sweet in our pie. So, I'm just going
17:47
to put a layer of those.
17:50
Doesn't that look good? Against that
17:53
fresh whipped cream.
17:57
All right. Now, I'm going to finish
18:01
putting the rest of the whipped cream
18:05
on the top of the pie.
18:07
And I'm going to let some of those
18:09
strawberries kind of peek out
18:12
around that inside.
18:16
Okay.
18:18
All right. So, I think I'm going to add
18:19
just a few whole berries. I've got one
18:22
kind of sliced right there. That looks
18:25
pretty. Now, all I'm going to do is
18:27
stick this in the refrigerator and let
18:30
it set up and then it's on the way to
18:32
the tugboat. So, I think that pie is
18:34
just perfect. Michael's going to love it
18:36
as well as the men that work with him.
18:38
So y'all stick around. When we come
18:40
back, I've got some tips on how to
18:41
transport safely a hot.
18:58
I've got this great little meal fixed up
19:00
for Michael. But now the question is,
19:03
how do I pack it to get it to him? Now,
19:06
I have packed the brisket and the pinto
19:08
beans in a glass Pyrex that has the
19:11
Snap-On lids. They work great. And I've
19:14
got the Cole SLO packed in another one.
19:17
And I found the neatest little
19:19
convenient carrier. It's actually a
19:22
suitcase on wheels, but it's insulated
19:24
for food, so you don't have to pick it
19:26
up. All you have to do is just pack your
19:29
food away in it. Just like that. And for
19:33
Michael to drink, I fixed him up some
19:36
nice hot cider. I popped it in the
19:39
microwave. And I'm going to just
19:40
transport this to a thermos. Now I'm
19:44
going to drop just a few cinnamon sticks
19:46
in it and stick this down in the cooler
19:49
with the hot things. Now I've got a
19:52
basket for the pie that I've got the
19:54
plates and forks in. And I think I'm
19:57
going to do this just like I do when I'm
19:58
at the airport. Pile everything onto one
20:02
suitcase. So, all I have to use is one
20:04
hand. So, I'll see y'all at the docks.
20:08
What a way to end a perfect day. I've
20:11
got the boat loaded up with the brisket
20:13
and the pinto beans and the hot coles
20:16
slaw and the straight way to Michael's
20:19
heart, a mile high strawberry pie. And
20:22
I'm delivering it by boat, y'all. And
20:24
I've got a confession to make. I have
20:26
never driven a boat into the River
20:29
Street area by myself.
20:32
So y'all stay tuned to make sure I get
20:35
there. Y'all want to ride? Do you trust
20:38
me? I don't know if I trust myself.
20:43
All right.
20:45
What' I do with the motor? Bye, y'all.
