Mother In Laws Recipes

THE MOTHER-IN-LAW

Steps:

• Heat the Chili Sans Beans in a small saucepot until it is simmering, about 5 minutes.
• Heat up the tamales using a steamer basket set over a pot of simmering water, until they are warmed through, about 10 minutes. (Or follow the package directions of the tamale you use.)
• In a small bowl, combine the sport peppers and chopped onion.
• For the sandwich build: Place a sprinkling of the onions and sport peppers along the bottom of the buns. Remove the husks of the tamales. Place the tamales in the buns and top with the Manchego. Then ladle a small amount of chili on top of that! Top with the remaining sport peppers and onions and sprinkle with the corn chips. Take a bite and instantly blog about how surprisingly amazing this combination of ingredients is.
• In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the beef and chorizo and smoosh down. Start breaking up the chunks with a wooden spoon and let sear until the beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the meat from the pot and leave the fat. Then add the onions, chili powder, cumin, paprika and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Deglaze with the beer. Cook until the alcohol smell subsides, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the hot sauce, tomatoes, stock and the reserved meat. Simmer until thickened, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning.

SIMPLE TOMATO SAUCE: MY MOTHER-IN-LAW'S RECIPE

Steps:

• Use one big pot-- I did not add the meatballs or sausage so that the calories etc. would not be counted.
• However, If you want to add Italian sausage and meatballs, then go to the bottom first.
• If you did the meatballs etc, then add the onions after you are done, if not add a little olive oil to the pan and add the onions.
• Cook on med-high till soft, add the garlic chopped up and cook for one minute, add the white wine to deglaze the pan and scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the pot.
• Add the tomatoes crushing them up slightly with your hand to help break them up.
• Add the tomato paste.
• Take a boat motor blender and puree for about one minute till almost smooth.
• Add all the spices and bring to boil.
• Add one tomato can's worth of water and add back in the sausage and meatballs if you are doing them.
• Cook for two to three hours on low with the top of the pot partially on to let the sauce cook down (get rid of the water you added essentially).
• Serve with pasta, over stuffed peppers, over backed ziti or manicotti uses are limitless.
• I like to freeze mine in three cup plastic containers for use whenever I want it.
• One serving is half a cup of sauce you may use more or less as you desire.
• Meatballs and Sausage here goes:.
• Take Italian sausage and divide into one pound and two pounds.
• Take the casing off all of it, and shape the two pounds into one x two inch rolls.
• Take the one pound of Italian sausage and two pounds of ground turkey and add two eggs, 2 tbsp of milk, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese and mix well.
• Shape into Meatballs.
• Brown the sausage in a little olive oil, and then the meatballs.
• Do not cook all the way through!
• Set aside.
