Thread: Recipe Thread

seems like a good day to talk about food. . . .


and since there's been some discussion about green chili recently, and it's come to my attention that some sad souls on here have never even tried it, i thought that i'd share the recipe that i got from my best friend's mom (she was born in CO, but is of mexican descent). . .


Green Chili

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons vegetable cooking oil (not olive oil)
2 or 3 half chicken breasts or 3 to 5 pork chops or steaks (cut into bite sized pieces and lightly salted)
1 large or 2 small cloves of garlic minced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup of flour
5 or 6 roasted, peeled, chopped green chili peppers (not jalapenos)
1 15 oz. can of whole tomatoes (use all the juice but dice the tomato and remove hard stem)
2 or 3 cups of cold water
salt to taste

Procedure:

Heat the oil in a large pot and add the meat stirring to get the meat cooked on all sides. After the meat has cooked for about 3 minutes add the garlic and onion and continue cooking until the onion is a little soft, maybe another 3 minutes. Add the flour and work it through the meat mixture with a metal spatula for about a minute scraping the bottom of the pan as you mix. Add the chili's, half the tomato/juice, and half the water and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Continue to scrape the bottom of the pot so that the flour doesn't stick and get lumpy. After the chili comes to a boil reduce the heat add salt and let it simmer until the meat is thoroughly cooked. Add more tomato/juice and water if the chili is too thick. Add more chili if it's not spicy enough. If you need to make it hotter buy a couple of jalapenos or one habanero pepper roast, peel, chop, and add them at the end. If you use jalapenos or a habanero be very careful and only handle the peppers with rubber gloves on. They have very dangerous oils that can seriously cause you a lot of pain both on your fingers or God forbid if you get the oil in your eye or nasal membranes.

All of the measurements are approximations. The important thing is to add more of the water and tomato mixture during the cooking process if it looks too thick.

Ok, so I've got a freezer full of wahoo and tuna steaks from my fishing trip last September. I needed to find a super simple way to cook 'em up.

1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
spices (whatever turns you on, but 1-2 tablespoons in total is probably a good amount) I used Old Bay, but you could use anything (cayenne, dill, pepper, garlic, rosemary, etc.)

mix ^^ up

rinse fish and dredge

fry in oil on medium heat until medium golden brown

I improvised with miracle whip and dill relish for a tartar sauce, and that was tasty.

very simple, very tasty

edit: ha...didn't realize I had another fish recipe here... funny...call me fish-man

You think it's still ok even though it's been frozen for 6 months? Will I catch lycanthropy or be a host for egg-planting vermin?

We did eat a load of tuna sashimi on the boat.

Well, you better cook it all the way through. I don't know what is it your freezer. Was it next to the dead Thai boy?

Was going to post this yesterday. Best ham I have ever had. Very easy with plenty of leftovers. Kids raved about it which is a plus.

Crock-pot Honey Glazed Ham

4 lb ham; boneless, fully cooked

Place ham and soda into crock pot. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours or on high 3 to 4 hours. Thirty minutes before serving, combine remaining ingredients, including 3 tablespoon drippings from bottom of slow cooker. Spread over ham and continue heating. Let ham stand for 15 minutes before serving.

I tried this one out the other day, and thought it was pretty simple and tasty.

Amy's Crockpot Ham & Hash Browns

1 28oz bag diced hash browns with peppers & onions
1 1-lb. package diced ham (fully cooked)
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tsp. garlic pepper
1 tsp. onion powder

Stir everything together in crockpot and cook on low for 3-4 hours.

This sounds good, I will have to try it while the Fam is away. Similar to MB's recipe.

Toast:

Ingredients:
1 slice bread.

Instructions:
1) Put bread into toaster.
2) Push trigger down.
3) Wait 5 minutes before realizing toaster isn't plugged in.
4) Curse.
5)Plug it in and repeat steps 1 and 2.
6) Hope that it doesn't burn. There is no determined way to tell if toast will reach correct consistency and texture. Have fire extenguisher ready if necessary.
7) Wait for bread to pop out of toaster, it should be cooked. Anywhere from light brown to brown-black color is fine.

Optional ingredients: butter, jelly, jam, preserves, assorted cheeses.

Two versions

6-8 slices of bread... or (Version 2) frozen hash brown potato's to cover baking dish
2 Cups grated sharp cheddar cheese..
1 1/2 lbs of bulk Italian sausage fried and drained
6 eggs
1 1.4 Cups of milk
3/4 teaspoon of dry mustard

***************
use this next morning

1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 Cup milk


In a 9X13 well BUTTERED glass baking dish place cubed bread (or V2 hash browns) cover with cheese.

Crumble sausage over cheese layer.

Beat eggs, milk and dry mustard together.. pour over sausage, cheese and bread/hash brown mixture..

Cover with foil and refrigerate over night.

In the morning mix soup and remaining milk together and pour over the mixture..

Bake at 300 for 90 minutes..


BTW I have also placed green chili strips over the top of the egg mixture before refrigerating..

You can substitute the frozen hash browns for the bread and not refrigerate over night and just put it together in the morning and bake..


Eat and die later from heart attack..

This is one of my favorite foods, and we often joke that it's the best thing my step-dad brought to the relationship when he married my mom...

I made it tonight, and it rocked...

Easy, quick, and your kids will love it.

Onion Ring Casserole

1 lb. ground beef
2 cups macaroni (or other pasta), cooked
2 cups of cubed or grated colby or cheddar cheese
1 can tomato soup
1 can cream of celery soup
3 oz (1 small can) French's Fried Onion Rings

Brown ground beef, cook pasta. Mix soups, meat, and pasta. Top with cheese (I always WAY over-do the cheese, but I always say you can't have enough cheese, so why not, right?)

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 min. Remove from oven, top with Onion Rings and place back in the oven for 5 min.

When you take it out, the cheese should be all bubbly and the Onion Rings should be nice and crispy and brown.

Mmmmmmmmmmm.
