Our friends at AllRecipes.com claim that men LOVE this steak. How do we prove that?

Well, if you’re a man, try it. If you’re a woman, find a man and ask him to try it.

It’ll be fun either way, right?

Here’s what they say:

“If you are looking for a special steak for your sweetie, look no further. This takes less than thirty minutes from start to finish; less if you choose to broil instead of BBQ. Flavorful and easy, this steak is tough to beat. I serve this with brown gravy and serve sourdough bread or rolls. If you’re really hungry, crumble some additional bacon and add a baked potato. Add candles and a bottle of full bodied red wine (like a cabernet from the Alexander Valley) for a romantic evening.”

Hey, I’m not a man, but I think I’ll love this, too. What does that mean?

I think it just means I’m hungry.

Let me know what you think, men!

Wow.  These hearty baked beans can be a meal all on their own.

They’re a meaty mix of ground beef (try this — it’s my fave), sausage, bacon and lots of other good stuff.

You can use them as a dip . . .

. . . or as a side dish with steaks, pork chops, burgers, brisket — anything!
