Have you every considered using cast iron pans, but thought that keeping them seasoned and clean was too hard? In this episode, I share my perspectives on utilillzing cast iron cookware and how easy it really is.

Today I'm cooking whitetail shanks by braising them in a chili sauce that I made from dried chili. I'm utilizing a chili sauce recipe from Arnie Tex and I would highly recommend you check out the link below to see how he makes it! This is a simple prep as you just make the sauce, place the shanks and sauce in a dutch oven at 325 degrees for 4 to 5 hours. Once complete, you can shred the meat and utilize it for tacos, quesadillas, nachos or any application where you would use shredded meat.
