VEGETARIAN WHOLE FOODS ONE POT CHILI

Image by Chiot's Run via FlickrThis pot of chili will warm your bellies, keep the kids happy (without realizing they're eating their vegetables) all while you're enjoying your day because you cooked it all at once in your oven.  Now just how great is that?!
This version is meatless but you can make it with ground beef if you chose.
So, let's get cooking... or not cooking as the case may be.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound cornbread
1 can (15 ounces) of vegetarian bean chili
1 can (15 ounces) of black or kidney beans
1 jar (12.5 ounces) of medium salsa
1 1/2 cups of monterrey jack and cheddar cheese, shredded
3 scallions, sliced
Olive oil for coating baking dish.
PREPARATION:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Coat the inside of a 9-inch square baking dish with the olive oil.  Crumble half of the cornbread into the baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the chili, beans and salsa. Spoon the chili mixture evenly over the cornbread. Sprinkle with a layer of cheese then crumble the remaining cornbread over the cheese. Next finish up by sprinkling the remaining cheese over the last layer of cornbread.
Bake in the top third of the oven for 30 minutes, the cheese should be melted and the top golden brown.
Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes then sprinkle the sliced scallions on top and serve.
Now just how simple was that, right? We hope you enjoy this delicious, easy-to-make chili dish.

INGREDIENTS:

2 1/2 cups of bisquick baking mix
1 cup cheddar cheese finely grated3/4 cup Whole Milk
2 talbespoons butter, melted
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

1 dash of salt (don't forget to throw a little bit over your left shoulder for good luck)

PREPARATION:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees

Combine the Bisquick with cheddar cheese, milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter.  Add 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder in a medium bowl and mix until well-combined.


Drop approximately 1/4 cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.


Mix together 1/4 cup butter with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, parsley flakes and salt.  Brush this mixture over the tops of each unbaked biscuit.

Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown. 


Serve Warm.  Make more and enjoy them again and again.

Southern Fried Beans

.

Image via Wikipedia

I tried this recipe on a Doctor friend of mine the other day. Although he said "I can hear my arteries hardening" he loved it and I'm sure you will too. Like they say in the South, "If it ain't fried, it ain't food." Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:
3 regular size cans of french cut green beans (You can use whole beans but I've found that you can't really get the full flavor from them like you can with french cut.)
1 package of your favorite bacon (mine is maple flavored)
1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese

PREPARATION:
Cut up the bacon into small pieces. Size here really doesn't matter. Whatever you prefer.
In a large skillet add your bacon and begin cooking it until it releases all of those delicious greases you love so much. Once the bacon is cooked open the cans of beans and drain them thoroughly... water and grease don't really mix well. When drained pour the beans into the frying pan along with the cooked bacon. Now cook the beans until they become somewhat browned. They'll shrink some but that is what you're looking for. Take the cheese and add it That's it. You're now ready to experience your first heart attack. Don't worry though, there will be more in the future because you're going to love this!

BUBBLE PIZZA

Everybody knows that pizza is a health food, right. Well it is, and we're going to share today one of our favorite, easy-to-prepare pizza delights. It's called Bubble Pizza because when you cook it that is exactly what it does... it bubbles up and invites you to a fun night of eating. **Of course pizza is a great breakfast food too, but then everyone knows that, right?

INGREDIENTS:

3-4 tubes of biscuits (we like the grands type as they are larger)
1 16 ounce jar of pizza sauce
assorted pizza toppings such as pepperoni, ham, chicken, pineapple, mushrooms, chopped onions peppers etc.

PREPARATION:

Mix all of these tasty ingredients in a large bowl until the sauce covers and coats everything. Toss it all into a 9x13 greased cake pan or casserole oblong dish. (Not sure if the pizza knows the shape of the pan... never have figured that one out.) Cover your concoction with mozzarella cheese (shredded) and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes or until it is hot and the biscuits have browned slightly. Serve with Parmesan cheese. Break out the napkins and enjoy the bubbles!

WET BURRITOS... WITH A KICK

W are sure that sometime during your life you have had a delicious wet burrito. We are also sure that you have NEVER had a wet burrito like the one we're going to share with you today. It is a burrito with a kick (okay, our little secret ingredient.) We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Yes, it takes a little time to prepare but we assure you... IT IS WORTH THE EFFORT!

INGREDIENTS:

BASICS:
1 pound of ground beef (or turkey or chicken)
1 package of taco seasoning
chopped lettuce
flour tortillas
1 small container of french onion dip
1 can or preferably fresh diced tomato

SAUCE:
1 can of brown gravy
1 envelope of taco sauce
1 envelope (or can) of enchilada sauce
1 cup of water
An assortment of your favorite cheese. We use four different kinds and vary them each time we prepare this meal. Whatever is your favorite, use it.

PREPARATION:

Brown the meat you have chosen to use and then drain it completely. Add the taco seasoning as directed on the package. Cover a flour tortilla with the french onion dip and then place the chopped lettuce on top. Add some of the cheese you have selected to use, sprinkle in some diced tomatoes and then put the meat on top of everything. Wrap the tortilla (we know that can be a challenge but it doesn't need to be neat, just wrapped.) Place the wrapped tortilla in a 9 x 13 pan (the higher the sides the better as it's going to get messy in a minute.)

Mix and simmer the gravy, taco sauce, enchilada sauce and water. Pour all of this over the burritos. Top everything off with the remaining cheese (the more you use the better it is.) We like to add more tomatoes and lettuce over the top too but it is your choice. Bake your special creation at 350 degrees until it is heated and all of that delicious cheese has melted all around it.

Remove from the oven, let stand for a few minutes so you don't burn your little fingers and then dig in. The french onion dip you've put in as a base helps to bring all of the other tastes to the front and you'll never make another burrito any other way, guaranteed!

**Did you know that you can actually lose weight by going on a burrito diet? Yes, it's true. Go to this web-site and take a look at how this guy got back into shape after almost dying from a heart attack.

LOSE WEIGHT WITH THE BURRITO DIET

Until next time: GOOD EATING
