ECONOMY IN COOKING = MOCK
CHILE CON CARNE
BY Biddy Bye
By practicing economy every day
housewife may be able to keep her
food bills down to last years level,
but in so doing she will have to teach
her family to like a different class of
foods.
These may be as nutritious as the
former diet, but not always as pal
atabIe.
A mock chile con carne made with
beans is an, excellent substitute for
a meat dish, but one would not pre-,
tend that it is as acceptable as por-
terhouse. However, with the pres
ent scale of steak prices it is often
foolish to spend fathers hard-earned
money for choice cuts of beef.
Mock Chile Con Carne
Wash 1 pint of kidney beans and
soak over night. Next morning COW
er with fresh water, bring to a boil,
drain, throw away the water, cover
again with fresh boiling water and
cook untfEthe beans are tender. Half
an hour before the beans are done
put tablespoons Of olive or peanut
oil in a saucepan, add sweet pep
pers, 1 small red pepper, 1 onion,
finely chopped, and 1 pint of thick,
strained tomato. Cook 80 minutes;
then stir in the beans, with 1 tea
spoon of salt, and simmer. gently Is
minutes longer. Serve with thin
crisp bacon arranged over the top.
