Recipe Night

Quick hype before we get to our recipe evening. Dreams has opened up her re-write of The Blind Side of Love. Chapters 1-6 are completed and perhaps if she gets folks letting her know what they think we can see more fairly quickly. I personally will take the time to read this one soon. Now on to recipe night we go.

Cherokee Echols has supplied recipes for a dinner she recently served. Check back next Tuesday for the next batch. Take it away, Cherokee....

Bean Soup

Ingredients:
1 lb. dried Pinto Beans
1 medium Onion Chopped
8 Slices of Bacon finely chopped
1 small can chopped green chilies
1 can Yellow Hominy
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 can Rotel
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 lb. hamburger meat
1 teaspoon garlic
1 Tablespoon Chili powder
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Oregano
1 teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste

Directions:
Sort and wash beans. Soak in cold water over night. Place soaked beans in a pot of water and cook as per directions on bag. Add to the beans all the other ingredients and cook on medium heat at least 1 hour. If you like a thick stock take 1 cup of the beans and puree in a blender then add back to the soup to thicken. The more this soup cooks the better it tastes (add water or chicken broth as needed). This is good served over a bowl of rice topped with sharp cheddar cheese.

Thick Corn Tortilla...Sorta

Ingredients:
1 Box Jiffy cornbread mix
1 cup milk
1/2 cup grated longhorn cheese
1 finely chopped jalapeno
3 Tablespoons finely chopped onion

Directions:
A package of cornbread mix normally calls for 3/4 cup of milk. Here we will use 1 cup. 1/2 cup of grated longhorn cheese, 1 jalapeño pepper finely chopped, 3 to 4 tablespoons of onion finely chopped. Mix all together, let chill a few minutes. We are making pancakes. Get out the griddle put over medium heat, well greased, pour mixture and cook 4 or 5 minutes on each side. Cut each one in pie like slices. We can call this a thick corn tortilla that tastes like cornbread.
