Fnk Cooking 101

[cubed]

# 2 cans red kidney beans or small red beans, drained
# 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
# 1 large onion diced
# 1 green bell pepper diced
# 1 can corn niblets
# 1 pound lean ground beef
# 2 cans tomatoes
# 2 tablespoons tomato paste
# 2 tablespoons chili powder (although I usually just eyeball it)
# 1 teaspoon garlic powder (eyeballed and to taste)
# Salt & Pepper to taste
# 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (I eyeball this usually too)

- Start by sweating your onions and peppers (S&P as you go) on medium heat
- Add and brown your beef
- Add first dump of chili powder while browning
- Add tomatoes and beans
- Add tomato paste and reduce heat by half
- Add can of corn
- Add rest of spices to taste and simmer

The longer you let it simmer the thicker and tastier it will get.

Top it with chopped green onions, sharp cheddar and a dollop of sour cream.

I hope it works out for you cause I don't use a recipe anymore when I'm making mine, so I just sort of guessed at measurements.

i will play with it a bit.
i am a firm believer that chili should be all about the beans and meat. not a lot of other veggies.

trust me, my chili has never steered anyone wrong.

the corn adds a nice sweetness.

yours obviously won't be as good as mine, I'm pretty much a guru when it comes to this.

=P

Also, and I know this doesn't really help you today Avana, but it's even better if you let it sit in the fridge overnight and then reheat.

i know you want carnivore chilli. but if anyone wants an amazing veggie chilli, i have the best recipe ever from my moby cookbook.
bret made a boatload a few weeks ago. mmmm. sooo freakin good.

i am down for veggie too.

doesnt have to be meat. the meat in jims will more than likely be chicken.

[heatherness]

hahaha you could be right about that.

[cubed]

I'm never wrong.

[heatherness]

yeah well...we'll see about that i guess.

[cubed]

O RLY?o

[heatherness]

really.

[cubed]

I can't argue with logic like that!

[heatherness]

so "guru"... tell me what to put on snapper.

[cubed]

are we talking fillets or whole fish?

[heatherness]

haha fillets

[tiedye]

cook them with lemon, garlic, and a bit of peppermint.

[heatherness]

good call chef.

[cubed]

Take some roma tomatoes, some sweet onion, fresh basil and some calamata olives.

Roughly chop the tomatoes, basil and onion and pit the olives.

Then combine and season with s&p.

Drizzle some olive oil on your fillets.

Season the snapper fillets lightly with a mixture of paprika, thyme, garlic and cayenne.

put it all together on a baking sheet and bake at 400 for about 15 to 20 mins depending on how thick your fillets are.

[heatherness]

wow that sounds really good too.

I cook like nobody's business actually.

It just takes the motivation for me to get up and do it.
