Our Over the Top Chili starts with a simple large meatball made from Creamery Creek dry-aged ground chuck, seasoned just enough to let the beef shine.

There is a whole world of cooking that never made it into cookbooks. It lives in church basements and community halls where somebody’s aunt has been feeding a crowd for decades and never once owned a digital thermometer. The “church basement method” is simple. Multiply the weight of your roast by time, set the oven to a steady low heat, and follow one important rule. Don’t peek.

It works with everyday beef roasts like sirloin tip, chuck, rump, and top round, which means you do not need a prime rib to put something special on the table.

A rub doesn’t have to be complicated. Think salt, sugar, and spices. Salt builds the foundation, sugar balances and caramelizes, and spices bring the personality. From there, you can keep it simple or turn up the flavor.
