My chili. Nothing fancy, but thought I'd share.

All spice amounts can be changed based on taste. Types of beans can be swapped. And mine is medium on the spicy hot meter, add more peppers for more heat (or spicier peppers). :)

All of this can be changed around, or substituted.

2 pounds ground lean beef.

3 cans brown beans. (Not drained)

2 cans drained and rinsed black beans. (Or kidney, or change the bean types any which way)

1 jar of garlic spaghetti sauce.

2 cans of red pepper diced tomatoes. (Not drained)

5 crushed garlic buds.

3 sliced celery staulks.

2 diced medium onions. (Whichever onion you prefer. Mine are yellow.)

Sliced mushrooms, as many as wanted.

2 jalapeno peppers, seeds removed and cut very small.

Spices. Again, mine is medium spicy range at best.

3 tablespoons of chili powder.

1 tablespoon oregano.

1 tablespoon garlic powder.

1 tablespoon coarse black pepper.

1 tablespoon salt.

1 tablespoon cumin.

1 tablespoon paprika.

I play with the spices a bit as I cook.

Brown and drain ground beef and cut vegetables in a fry pan. Then in the crock pot, every ingredient mixed in well, on high for 2 hours, then low for 5 or so more hours. Serve.

A not-so-simple pesto base pizza

Teaser:

In the oven right now, not sure how it will taste yet...

A while back I got bored of tomato paste bases for pizza. So I have taken to using pesto.

I start with a whole wheat crust, adapted from a bread machine recipe (obviously we are making dough here): :p

1 cup beer

1 Tbsp shortening

1 Tbsp white sugar

1 tsp salt

2 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (original recipe calls for white)

1 1/4 tsp bread yeast

Pop the stuff in in order, start the machine on the dough setting - usually takes two hours

Meanwhile:

Thaw ground beef (1/2 lb)

Chop two cremini mushrooms

Slice a (or most of) a green pepper

Fry bacon (2 or 3 slices)

When fried, chop bacon and cook hamburger

Slice up pepperoni (wow this is looking like a lot)

Grate mozzarella cheese (10 to 12 ounces)

When dough is done, start oven at 425F. Roll out on a pizza stone (covered with a sheet of parchment paper). Slap on and spread out some pesto. Add a layer of spinach leaves, then lay out slices of Genoa Salami. I then added the pepperoni, bacon, hamburger, green pepper, mushrooms, and finally the cheese (probably in that order).

Pop the pizza in the oven for about 24 minutes.

After writing the first post, the timer was about to go, I went out to the kitchen and there was a bit of smoke. The oil from the pesto and Genoa salami was dripping to the bottom of the oven. I should have posted an after photo (lets just say one more minute in the oven and it would have been burned), but I did not feel like editing the thread before chowing down.

Soo...I made vegetarian tacos last night (may talk about this one sometime - essentially roasted sweet potato with black beans prepared like hummus, add cheddar cheese into taco shell - okay now I don't) and had half a can of black beans left over. On top of that, it's time for brunch!

So I fried four ounces of ham in a cast iron pan. While that was happening, I mixed up a two-egg scramble. When the ham was cooked (and then some) I set aside the ham, poured the scrambled eggs mixture into the pan, and then the remaining beans. Stir with a silicone spatula (scraper), until egg becomes scrambled.

I also added some field greens for good measure, (along with a tablespoon of butter) to let wilt a little. I then transferred the mixture to a whole wheat wrap, added the ham set aside earlier, and grated cheese.

There were a lot of beans in this making the handling challenging, at least for the first few bites. The plant material added a nice earthy characteristic. Would do again.

No problem. This thread is excellent. I love talking about food and flavor theory.

Last night dinner was breakfast burritos, made strictly from ingredients that were lying around.

Ingredients:

Chicken

Bacon

String cheese (torn into tiny strips, because it's what I had)

Eggs

Jar of lame salsa

Olive oil

Spices: salt, black pepper, white pepper, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika

Generic taco seasoning

Guacamole

Tortillas

2 tbsp butter/margarine, melted

Add chicken, olive oil (just enough to coat pan moderately) and spices together in skillet. Stir fry.

Cook your bacon.

Add bacon, salsa, eggs cheese and cooked chicken in large bowl. Mix.

Clean your skillet, don't just be lazy and dirty another. :P

Cook egg mixture in skillet a la scrambled eggs.

Layer egg mixture on top of a spoon full of guacamole on each tortilla. Roll them up.

Mix melted butter with taco seasoning and baste the burritos with it, then place them on a griddle on high until crispy and light brown.

I find the butter mixture on the outside of the tortillas really helps add a little kick to the flavor. This was all conjured up in 5 minutes by me going: "Yup, I gots this and that, let's throw it all together." Turned out a success, could use refinement, but it only took 15 minutes and a good, lazy, easy meal is a necessity after a long day.

Philly Cheesesteak the right way

Philly Cheesesteak the right way

This is the Philly way

Ingredients

1 lbs of grade A Rib-eye steak

1 Large green pepper

1 medium to medium large white onion

1-2 cups of mushrooms (or if you are like me, leave the fungus off)

1 jar of cheez wiz (cheez wiz is the traditional way. If you don't like cheez wiz you can substitute white american [not kraft singles] or provolone slices)

6-8 Amoroso rolls (chances are you won't be able to find these so any Italian style deli roll will work)

Prep

Tenderize and marinade the beef for 1-2 hours in some sort of Italian marinade. I prefer Wishbone's House Italian dressing. Once marinated thinly slice the steak in to strips about 1/6" thick and chop in to 1" pieces. Chop both the onion and green pepper to a 1/4" chop. Slice and dice mushrooms to desired size. Then combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and salt and pepper to taste. Heat up a large skillet up on medium-high to high for a few mins. Once the skillet is hot add the ingredients which will create a flash fry effect. Stir regularly for about 5-7 mins or fully cooked. Drain and excess water and fat. Add the cheez wiz or slices of cheese to desired thickness. Then serve along with your favorite sides.​

At work we have a Texas version. We use smoked sirloin sliced paper thin from our smoker. Cook meat, onion, and peppers on the griddle. Then put on roll with queso blanco sauce (white queso made with jallepenos and green chillies). Only thing is, meat is already cooked cause of the smoking process, so the veggies get thrown down first, saute them, then put meat down just to heat.

And a place right around the corner from me is owned by a Philly. He actually gets amoroso rolls shipped down here for his cheese steaks. Five bucks and what you want on em. Real good both ways.

You from Philadelphia? My girl lived there for about 9 years. Seems like a cool place. But not sure I'd fit in cause once they found out I was from Dallas they'd hate me cause of the Cowboys even though I'm not a fan.

Heres a salsa recipe

Ingredients:

1 Jalapeno Pepper

1 Serrano Pepper

1 Yellow Chili

1 Teaspoon Cumin

2 Teaspoons white Sugar

1 28 oz can whole, peeled tomatoes

1 28 oz can diced tomatoes

Lots of salt (to taste)

Fresh Cilantro (to taste)

2 freshly peeled garlic cloves

1 Medium white or yellow onion

1/4 cup fresh green onion

To begin:

Mince up the garlic cloves. Dump them in the blender. Grab some cilantro, about a 3/4 cup - 1 cup. Cut them up a bit. Dump them in the blender too. Take about a 1/4th of your white/yellow onion, dice it up, drop it in the blender.

Take your chili peppers, cut the tail off. Slice them down the middle, then down the middle again so they are in quarters. At this point you can dump them in the blender OR dice them up and dump about half in the blender, save some chucks to throw in after blending to increase heat intensity to taste.

Open the can of your whole, peeled tomatoes, and dump ONLY the juice in the blender.

At this point, give your blender a few pulses to make a sort of raunchy smelling liquid. Don't try and sniff it.

Next, dump in your tomatoes, both whole and diced. Put your blender on a medium to medium-low setting and let it run for about 2-3 seconds a pulse for about 3-5 pulse (however chunky you like your salsa.)

Pour the salsa into a large bowl.

Next, dice up some green onion with your favorite chef's knife. Add it to the salsa mix. Take some more fresh cilantro, dice it up a bit and add it to the mix. Add your salt and stir with fervor. Add your cumin and sugar. Stir, again, voraciously.

Cover up and place in fridge. Let the salsa chill for at least 30 minutes - hour

So after working in kitchen, unpaid and expected to do work of three people while working really doing work for front of house, I am finally getting my dues. I am now starting a prep position at another location, same company, with more money all around. AAAAaaand moving up from where I was. The people that hired me wanted me to move up, and do more, they got replaced with bean counters and people that don't care about others. Corporate stuff. So another location found me. Immediate raise for what I was doing. $1.50/hour. Now I'm getting $2 more on top of that after working for them 2 weeks. So really a $3.50 raise. Plus an actual position in the kitchen that will pay $3 more an hour than that.

Well..the gouda suggestion was in regards of flavor plus the fact that you are not looking for a quesadilla type of cheese (mozzarella type and such), but more of a cheese with full flavor that would keep it's consistency under high temperatures :cyclops::good:

I love a smoked gouda, but it seemed like a better swap for cream cheese would be something that could get to a smoother consistency more easily.

That's why there are so many different cheeses, though, because they bring out so many different flavors.

For "National Grilled Cheese Day" (someone needs to put a stop to the absurd pseudo holidays, but it was a good excuse to make gourmet grilled cheese) we made the following:

Grilled cheese on sourdough, with
