    Snow day grub 

    lol!  that is what is on the menu tonight.  Only I have some chicken in the sous vide, replicating the confit duck recipe that @poster shared the other day.

  • The above reminded me - my S-I-L dropped off a chicken pot pie soup last week. Very good and evocative of the real deal.

    That looks delicious @DoubleEgger ! How did you do the top crust?

    Frozen puff pastry. Easy peasy for a quick sous vide reheat.

    Thanks man!  I wanted to try something different from the gold standard Salado brisket chili recipe.  I came across this recipe for chili Colorado:

    https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/chile-colorado/

    It’s very easy, and I just used leftover brisket for the protein.  I skipped the browning step as the beef was already cooked.  

    The dish is very meat-forward, and delicious!  We served it in bowls with some Mexican rice, cheddar cheese, sour cream and cilantro.

    chili Colorado, but with brisket 


    Love Chili Colorado!

    if you liked that, try a chile verde con carne

    If they had air fryers when I was in college, I would’ve lived off of pizza bagels. 375 for 4 minutes. Can’t go wrong and always good.

    Thanks man!  I’ve never tried making chile verde con carne, so I’ll definitely give it a shot.

    that beats the cook time of a frozen schwann’s mini deep dish in a toaster oven by at least one hanna barbera cartoon

    I made a lot of french bread pizzas in my toaster oven; they took longer but weren't frozen.
     
    I bought that toaster oven at a yard sale for $4, the summer before I started college ('78).  Think the previous owner only broiled steaks in it, and never cleaned it. I ended up having to disassemble the entire thing to really get it clean, may have thrown up once or twice in the process, damn it was gross.  
    Got it reassembled and it worked, and I fed myself with it (and a small hotpot) for a couple years.  Ended up selling it.  For $4!  Got my money's worth out of that one.  I don't remember whatever happened to the hot pot and the bent ladle...

    Thank you for posting this recipe.  I have been looking for more things to make.  Seem to be stuck in a rut.  SWMBO loves spice/heat so she will really enjoy this.

    Some pre-game basketball fuel for the kiddos.  Been having a hankering for homemade biscuits and sausage gravy.

    Pre-game? I'd take a nap after that!

    While traveling this Christmas my kids favorite dish was a spaghetti bolognese.  I had never had it before, assumed it was just meat sauce, but it is so much more!  Working on my recipe for it (can’t share, even with my kids), but it is so tasty even with relatively few ingredients!

    Because I have spent countless minutes refining and taste testing and no one is worthy of sharing in the fruits of my labor!  Not even my kids.  I shall go to my grave with the best pizza dou….. I mean bolognese recipie.

    How do you pronounce that?  Bu-low-naze?  Bo-log-neez? I feel like it has potential to be the opener for a great deez joke.

    If your not starting with a trinity, sauted anchovies, and a boat load of fresh bay leaves picked off the bay tree in the window, just use a half gallon of store bought rague and bring it to boil with fresh burger 😆

    It does start with the holy trinity, diced a bit larger than usual for texture!

    And I always use at least 3 bay leaves, I’m not driving so I throw caution to the wind and load it up!

    My secret middle layer in lasagna, but it needs the anchovies to add the putanusca flavor
