INSTANT POT BRISKET BEANS
As good folks stocking your pantry, you many now have several bags of beans that you are wondering what to do with! Now is the time to get your leftover BBQ and put it to good use…
I am an Instant Pot lover and nothing is better for dried beans because you do not have to pre soak them – just pop them in the pot and they will be ready to go.
To start:
Finely chop your leftover brisket and make sure you toss in all those fatty end pieces. Press the Saute button on instant pot and when hot add in olive oil, chopped brisket and onions to caramelize. Once onions are translucent add garlic- if desired. Then add the rest of the ingredients:
- 2 cups chopped cooked brisket
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 pound dry pinto beans
- ½ small white onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jalapeño seeds and ribs removed and chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1 beer whatever kind you have on hand
- 3 1/2 cups chicken broth or filtered water
- ½ teaspoon salt or more to taste added after cooking is over
Be sure to seal the pot and cook 30 minutes on high and give it a 15 minute natural pressure release.
LOCKHART SMOKEHOUSE DEVILED EGGS

- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion or pickles or whatever crunchy veg you might have
- Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS
Remove yolks from whites after boiling for exactly the right amount of time (or just cheat and buy them from the dairy case at the market) and cream all ingredients together into a smooth consistency. Then pipe a generous portion into the whites. A quick dusting of smoked paprika (and occasionally cayenne) on top and they are done.

LOCKHART SMOKEHOUSE SMOKED CHICKEN
- 1 bone-in, skin on whole chicken (3 ½ lbs.) / giblets, etc. removed
- ½ cup Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cracked pepper
- Dash of paprika, garlic powder and cumin
- Create your rub, setting aside half for use later. Generously rub chicken skin all over and refrigerate overnight.
- Next day, wipe rub off rub and reapply with rub set aside.
- The birds are then put in the smoker, breast side up. They smoke over post oak for 5 to 6 hours, until they reach a temp of 165°F/ 75°C.
- Keeping the skin intact and cooking it on the bone are what keep the bird moist. If you need to check the temp, stick it from the inside as to not to break the skin. You should know that it is done when the leg can easily be separated from the body with a little tug.
- As with any meat, especially those with a bone in them, you need to let it rest. Once removed from the smoker allow it to sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes to allow the juices to flow throughout.
