What's Cookin? offseason

OK not much going on here so let's get some new stuff to talk about.

let's go with favorite recipes for tailgating. if you don't tail gate maybe some picnic favorite dishes that we all can try at a tailgate, whether it's HS, college or some other sports event that you do this for.


ranch beans or cowboy beans i've heard them called. 2 cans of bush's beans for starters. one can of butter beans. one can of great northern beans. i usually do ground beef and sausage mixed and browned. bacon fried crisp and crumbled, one can tomato soup without adding water, brown sugar and a little ketchup. mix together and bake for about 40 minutes at 350. this can also be done on the grill in an aluminum tin. sometimes, if smoking roast or brisket, it is shredded and added in

 

Green chile as a dip

Ground beef and/or pork browned with chopped onions a some garlic

Cook in some flour to absorb the grease and let brown somewhat

Chicken broth

Add Frozen chopped hot green chile about as much as the onions and beef kind of like a pound cake

Simmer until thick an hour or more

Top with cheese and eat with chips or cooked flour tortillas

Beer

You can use canned green chile but that is preserved with citric acid or some equivalent and tastes yucky

Depending on where you live you may have to go on amazon to find frozen chopped hot green chile

A little expensive but it is 10#

I can’t get the link to paste:

 

no tailgaters? c'mon i see you all on the road all the time.

 

Black explorer coming up on your butt at 100+ yep that’s me

 

I just inspired myself and yanked this out of the freezer

 

hot weather less cookin

fresh shrimp and cobia ceviche
cucumber pineapple salad
herbs chard cukes tomato and zucchini are kickin in the garden

 

Simple and less flatulative - can of Hormel ( no beans) poured over original Fritos, maybe some sliced black olives and green onions, melt some shredded cheese blend over it and either fork it or do messy finger food with it. Some, not me, choose some sour cream topping.

 

Wife grew up in a small NM town and in the school cafe they got something like this for lunch called Frito Pie

Although I’m doubting the olives

 

I just had my second hip replacement a week ago. The ladder is for Mr Handyman.

 

I cook a lot. I cook really well. I like hot dogs. Brown mustard and onions.

 

Two years ago I planted two zucchini and my wife asked me to plant less
This year I planted one.
Wife just asked if I can plant a half of one.
