pro-tip: an immersion blender is your friend in these situations.

Here's another pro tip: if you're shopping for an immersion blender, don't get one with a child protection device where you have to hold down two buttons on the blender at the same time. No one is dumb enough to put their hand under an immersion blender and you want a free hand to hold the bowl or pot you're blending. I never even conceived such a thing was possible so didn't know any better when I bought mine from Cuisinart. Learn from my mistake.

Got this from a fucking Instagram post. Did it on the stovetop, added a little garlic powder & chicken broth. Shit slammed, yo.

This shit is good. We made biscuits to put under the first serving. I added some cubed leftover turkey to the leftovers and put it over cornbread. Even better.

Tamale Pie has now entered my winter rotation... except it seems like they should call it enchilada casserole instead. Either way, slammed hard.

1 box JIFFY corn muffin mix

1 egg

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup creamed corn

1 lb ground beef

1 onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt (I added more)

1 tsp. cumin (I added more)

1 tsp. chili powder (I added more)

10 oz can red enchiladas sauce (divided)

cheddar cheese, shredded

Monterey jack cheese, shredded

small handful cilantro leaves, chopped

Fresh jalapeño

Mix jiffy mix, egg, creamed corn, sour cream and put in greased baking dish for 20 min. Meanwhile, brown beef with all the diced onion and salt to sweat the onions. Drain beef, then add garlic first, then put back beef and add cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper. Poke holes in the cornbread when it’s done and pour half a cup or so of enchilada sauce (just kinda cover it), then add beef mixture. Cover with cheese and more enchilada sauce, too with jalapeños and bake for 15-20 min in 400 degree oven. 
 

also, money shot:

My half assed take on a hungarian goulash that I put in the pot just now.

onion, garlic, jalapenos, beef broth, bay leaf, ,oregano, tad of balsamic vinegar, a shit ton of smoked paprika, and beef.  slow cooker half the day.

[Storm the Field 5289]

Maybe once a year I make a San Francisco-style Clam Chowder recipe that my Aunt sent me from a chef friend of hers in the bay area. Made some Sunday night just in time for the cold snap. It's freaking legit.

Fry 6 slices of chopped bacon in a pot.

Add in a diced small onion, 2 chopped celery ribs and 5-6 small red potatoes, chopped into small chunks.  Season with ample amounts of salt, pepper, basil, oregano, parsley, and caraway seeds. Sautee together for 20 minutes or so, stirring frequently.

Meanwhile, in a small pot, make a light blonde roux out of a stick of butter, flour and a couple teaspoons of clam juice. Add roux to the simmering mix and stir until everything is coated. Pour in 3 cans of whole or chopped clams along with all liquid. Stir together and then finally start adding 1/2 and 1/2 until you reach a nice chowder consistency. If too thick, add in some more clam juice to thin it out. Turn heat to low and allow it sit long enough for flavors to mix and make sure potatoes have fully cooked. 

Serve in a bowl with slices of toasted sourdough and ideally, a pint of Anchor Steam.

Anybody have experience with a good shrimp etoufee?  I like a version made by David Rice, Lubys  manager in Corpus, around 1999.  He put extra veggies into his version.  His version was so much better than the regular 1st cooks version I was very surprised he didn’t tell the cook to follow the version with extra veggies.

My MIL gave me a recipe I use for crawfish étouffée that makes a goddamn good version, I’m not sure it would be much different swapping out shrimp. Should be on page 1.

No idea what cookbook this came from, but this is what I used/she sent me when I made it last time. It’s really damn easy - much easier and faster to make than a gumbo. I cooked the veggies in a separate pan so I probably ended up using more butter in my roux than this calls for, but it certainly doesn’t hurt this dish.

Would I be correct in assuming "1 1/2 blocks Oleo" = 1 1/2 sticks of butter?

That’s what I’ve always done.

[Brisketexan 105037]

Would I be correct in assuming "1 1/2 blocks Oleo" = 1 1/2 sticks of butter?

Correct. Although when I was younger, my mother used margarine. Her etouffee is my gold standard, and it’s simple as hell.

Margarine/butter roux. Toss in a lot of trinity. Add some garlic near the end. Then stir in the crawfish tails, hopefully with lots of crawfish butter and liquid. A little bit of water to thin if necessary. Sprinkle of Cajun seasoning if necessary. Done. To do it with shrimp, just save some of the shrimp stock as your thinning liquid.

What I would do to live that through the eyes of that kid again.

This post got me wanting some chicken noodle soup, which I made tonight following the ingredients in this recipe loosely. Did you write this recipe? I ask since you signed up a few days ago and it’s your only post. If you did, I question your grasp on the English language but also offer encouragement because it turned out pretty good, with a few alterations. The actual recipe as written leaves a lot to be interpreted though.

We made a big pot of beef bourguignon today.  Same recipe.  Going to heat up tomorrow for a late lunch/early dinner.  Always think it tastes better reheated.

Love making beef bourguignon, but am partial to Ina Garten’s recipe. Yours looks outstanding.

[Etexhorn13 3045]

Forgot to post, but this is a recipe thats definitely in the rotation. It’s really easy to make with some pretty simple ingredients. I make this when we feel like mixing it up a little, and throw it on top of some riced cauliflower. Double the curry paste and add some cayenne pepper to get some kick.
