Broiled Dragon Feast

A recipe borrowed and adapted from The Gamer's Fridge. It really enjoyed it making it but not nearly a much as I loved eating it. I served my Broiled Dragon Feast with homemade garlic and herb mashed potatoes and steamed carrots.

1 pre-sliced ham
2 tbsp brown sugar, packed
Hickory Liquid Smoke
2 tbsp honey
hot sauce
1/4 c hot water

Preheat oven to 325ºF.
Line a baking dish with the ham slices. Brush with liquid smoke.
Dissolve sugar in hot water and pour over ham, then drizzle with honey. Sprinkle hot sauce over ham slices, do not worry if all the pieces do not have hot sauce on them. This is what makes part of this dish fun to eat.
Place in oven for 25 minutes, switch to oven to broil setting or place in broiler. You will need to watch the meat carefully so that it doesn't burn. Around five minutes should be long enough to give the meat a nice caramel color.
Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes.



Homemade Garlic and Herb Mashed Potatoes

5 medium potatoes washed and diced. (peeling optional)
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp of house blend herbs (See curiously tasty omelet)
2 tbsp butter
1/4 c of milk
salt and pepper to taste

Boil potatoes until fork tender. Mash with a potato masher or fork. Add in butter and milk, mash a little more. You can use a hand mixer if you want creamier and smoother potatoes. Toss in herbs and garlic powder and stir until well combined.


My favorite part about this meal is each bite was flavored different. Sometimes sweet, sometimes smokey and every once in a while there would be a burst of hot from the sauce. It was amazing.
