It's a fun and love thing. Start small find something like, invite someone over and roll the dice. Cooking is low risk anyway, if you invite friend over and the dish does not come off, they'd never admit it! [img]wink.gif[/img]

Has anyone tried that cowboy steak stuff with coffee yet?

How about Little Boys??

Go to the supermarket, ask the girl in the paper hat behind the counter at the deli to give ya 1/2 kilo of cocktail frankfurts.

Go home. Throw them on the hot plate/cooker/stove in boiling water and wait til about 8 mins until they are bubbling away.

Put them on a plate. Slather with tomato sauce/ketchup and serve to the troops. Worked for lunch today here and they asked for more.

Here ya go tested favorite:
TEXAS CHAIN GANG CHILI
1/4 cup olive oil
2 large onions chopped (4 cups)
8 minced garlic cloves
8 minced fresh jalapenos (remove stems & seeds)
1.5 pounds ground beef(use lean or sirloin)
1.5 lbs beef trimmed and cubed (1/2 inch) (sirloin)
2 teaspoons salt
5 table spoons chili powder
2 table spoons cumin
2 table spoons oregano
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper or more to taste
28 oz crushed tomatoes
4 cups beef stock
2 16 oz dark red kidney beans rinsed and drained.

cook 1st 4 ingred. until tender (20 min) and set aside. In a large pot (5 qt) add beef and season with salt, cook until no longer pink (20 min).
Add onion mixture and spices and cook for 5 minutes stirring well. Stir in tomatoes and and stock and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer uncovered, stir occas. for 1.5 hours. Taste correct seasonings if needed and simmer for 30 minutes or until meat is tender and chili is reduced to your liking. Stir in beans and simmer for 5 minutes. Serves 6-8.
Use gloves when chopping jalapenos if you can or be careful. I made the mistake of rubbing my eyes after the fact and even after washing and I thought the darn Jalapeno juices would blind me.

ENJOY!!
Jett setter enjoy the chicken stir tonight.
Hey Cherie put up the beef stew.
