Post-Pandemic Cuisine

From my days as a bachelor, I am going to whomp-up a batch of my simple, yet famous f@rt-inducing chili sometime this week:
  • 1 kg (2.2046 lbs) of extra lean ground beef;
  • 1 large can of tomato sauce;
  • 1 small can of tomato paste
  • 1 large can of dark red kidney beans;
  • one large onion - sliced and diced <sob>;
  • one good sized green, red or yellow pepper;
- brown the meat and drain most of the fat (eating healthy is very important - isn't it?),
- add the other ingredients,
- cover and simmer for 20-45 minutes.
- eat with ketchup, a beer and Fritos corn chips (three other important members of the vegetable food group).

Serves one over the course of several days (OK - two if she isn't too hungry and wants to be close to me later in the day).
I was turned on to chili with Fritos corn chips
I think while visiting friends in Texas I think they called it Frito pie

Meatza. Like pizza, but no bread. I line the bottom of the pan with 1 lb of sweet Italian sausage, bake it at 400 until done. I top it with my favorites, marinara sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella, green pepper, onion, mushrooms, provolone, etc. Back in the oven until the cheese melts.
Now thats a meat lovers pizza

Yep, It's back down the trail a ways, Mikey! It's a little quicker than the one your making.

Hot dang, JMM! Man after my own heart! I only have a few questions! #1, Are the brussels fresh or frozen? #2, A little bit of what kind of oil in the brussels and bacon? And all in cast iron! Somebody stop this guy! #3, Where's the garlic bread and wine?
I'm up dating my groceries list! :cheers:
The Brussels are fresh. The oil comes from the bacon. I have removed processed oil from my diet to whatever extent possible. I lost over 50 lbs getting carbohydrates out of my diet, so no grain. No corn, no wheat, no rice, no quinoa. I limit wine due sugar and prefer Scotch. I've been limiting alcohol intake to once or twice a week.
 
I cook every night; the wife can burn a salad!

Tonight dish:
Sea trout I caught on the fly.
Lightly smoked on my homemade smoker.
Cooked en papiot with butter & dash of dry white wine.
Steamed asparagus.
Sautéed baby new potatoes.
More wine down me hatch! :cheers:
 
JMM. keep eating like that and your gona have gout. :laugh:
I'm off of fructose and beer and alcohol is limited. I should have it already, but I don't. I eat lots of red meat, liver, anchovies, sardines, mussels, scallops, and last night I ate a big tuna steak. Bacon: Nobody can eat just six slices! I am five feet sixteen inches tall and I weigh 195 pounds. I take no Rx. If you hear I dropped dead anytime soon, you'll know the medical community was right.

Yeah! That's good. For me, no potatoes, thanks.
 
Please tell us about your seasoning, Marty.
Salt and black pepper. I also like to add some hickory to the lump charcoal. I’ve also been known to use Butt Rub. I go through a lot of it.
My favorite way to prep a ribeye is dry brine. The night before cooking, I put a generous amount of salt and pepper on it. I put it unwrapped on a plate in the refrigerator. I take it out and let it get to room temperature before putting it on the grill or in an iron skillet. We don’t have a dog. It works for pork too.
 
Poor boy vittles:

Red beans, hoe cakes and horse cock! With tamed Hop-a-lane-yos, onion and whipped butter. Didn't have time to cook today. Was tedding and raking hay so I started a pot of beans! I called in the dogs at dark 30, cooked some horse cock and fried the cakes on a hoe, I did.:bs: Lying bastard! He used cast iron.)
