Gleanings of Wheat

My BFF keeps hounding me to try this, and I'm going to the next time I buy ground beef, so I'm posting it so I don't lose it. 1 pound lean ground beef 1/4 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard 3/4 cup ketchup 3 teaspoons brown sugar salt to taste ground black pepper to taste Mix it up and cook the brown beef like you would for canned sloppy joe mix.

I'm not a huge bean fan, normally, but there are certain dishes that just do it for me. This is one of them. 1lb ground beef 2 16oz cans of pinto beans 1 8oz can of tomato sauce 1/2 c mild chunky salsa 1 tsp chili powder 1 c shredded Monterey Jack cheese Heat oven to 375. Cook beef in skillet over medium heat 8-10 minutes until brown, drain. Rinse & drain the beans. Mix beef, beans, tomato sauce, salsa & chili powder in ungreased baking pan. Cover with lid or aluminum foil & bake 40-45 minutes, stirring once or twice. Carefully remove the lid, & sprinkle cheese over the top. Bake until cheese is melted.

I like peppers. I have a lot of them. I have to be creative because even a food you love, if eaten every day in the same way for a month, can become boring. So I experimented. They turned out pretty well, though I think I'd like them better with some sort of seasoning in the beef. Bell peppers, tops sliced off 1 lb ground beef 1 box Rice A Roni Spanish Rice First, start the rice according to the package directions. Next, over medium-high heat brown the beef and drain. While those are cooking grab your bell peppers, slice the tops off them and remove the seeds. Preheat the oven to 350. Once the rice and the beef are finished cooking mix them together and scoop the mixture into the peppers. Place the tops back on the peppers and then put them in a baking pan in the oven for about 20 minutes. **Notes: You might want to try adding some seasoning to the beef, maybe some garlic, or even some taco seasoning. Also, when I made this the peppers ended up having a bit of liquid in them, I...

I would post more often from Love and Olive Oil , but if I did then I may as well shut down my blog entirely and just tell you to read their's. I'm not shutting down, but do feel free to start stalking this site as well. You will not be disappointed by the quality of the recipes or the fine photographs of the food.

Make a marinade by mixing the vinegar, water, oregano, oil, marjoram, sugar and garlic in medium bowl. Stir in beef, pepper, and potato until coated. Cover and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, at least 1 hour but no longer than 12. If using bamboo skewers, soak in water 30 minutes before using to prevent burning. Ways to cook This is the method the recipe calls for Set oven to broil. Remove the beef from the marinade, reserve the marinade. Thread the beef on the skewers, leave 1/2 inch space between each piece. Brush kabobs with marinade. Place the kabobs on the rack in the broiler pan. Broil ...

Sorry I'm late with this one. Anyway, around here it isn't called Cincinnati chili, in fact if I called it that people would give me very strange looks. Here, in my home, it is called Chocolate Chili. An old friend gave me this recipe once, but I lost it so I have to make it from memory every time. 2 lbs ground beef or turkey 30 oz canned kidney beans 15 oz chicken broth 30 oz tomato puree 1 1/2 tbsp honey 1/4 tsp cinnomon 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice 1/4 tsp ground cumin 1/8 tsp cardamom 1 c semi-sweet chocolate (yes, I use 1 entire cup) 1 med onion, diced 1 lb pasta Brown the meat and drain fat out. In large pot add the meat, beans, broth, onion, spices, and half the chocolate, cover pot, and cook on medium-high heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add other half of chocolate and cook for another 15-20 minutes or until chili is the consistency that you prefer. Cook pasta according to package directions. Directions for eating: Place pasta on plate or bowl, top with chili, ...
