    That's the great thing about chili there's no right or wrong way to enjoy it,  it's pretty much what you like to do with it.

    This cafeteria style is pretty much a basic and very good  chili recipe.

    Haha…It’s Actually pretty cold given the fact it is October.  September/October it is dry and hot and in the middle of fire season.  At least I pretended it was cold breaking out a windbreaker and eating chili 

  • I was just thinking about what we are planning for our coming GAMEDAY WEEKEND MEALS and I got this email.   We haven't had a Jersey Mike's PORTABELLO MUSHROOM SANDWICH in a long time   -plus-  there's a 90% chance of rain on Saturday which kinda puts a damper on outdoor picnics and grilling.

    Oh the power of advertising.  ?

  • got some ribeyes for the grill along with lobster tails roasted red potatoes  and may mix in a salad 

    oh ya

  • Last weeks game day food at my house went south of the border  Rich spicy Asado de Chile Colorado with a double cheese and onion enchilada. I used the Blackstone griddle to toast the arbol and guajillo chiles, sauté the onion and brown a cubed 10 lbs pork butt. Chiles simmered in chicken broth  and then blended with the onion and broth for the amazing red sauce. Cumin, garlic, Mexican oregano, smoked paprika , bay leaf, sea salt , a little touch of peanut butter and a tiny splash of vinegar round out the flavors. Simmered for a few hours until the pork was melt in your mouth tender. Enchilada is 100% cheddar shell filled with shredded pepper jack and onions. One of my all time favorite meals.

  • Try this a BACON-BARBEQUE SLOPPY JOE and only in 20 minutes ?  Oh yeah so easy and sounds great for GAMEDAY  or any family get-together.  And check out the additional tips below.

     
    SERVES 4.   COOK TIME. 20 MINUTES.   Need more just multiply the recipe.  https://www.mrfood.com/Beef/Barbecue-Joe-6107
     

    One bite is all it will take to realize we've got the best Sloppy Joe recipe around. We got rid of the same old Joe taste and instead used a savory barbecue sauce, mixing in crumbled bacon, for an extra bold flavor. Because our Bacon-Barbecue Joe's are a make-ahead meal, you can easily serve them up in place of the same ol' burgers at your next backyard summer bash!

    What You'll Need

    • 5 slices bacon
    • 1 pound ground beef
    • 1 small onion, chopped
    • 1 cup barbecue sauce
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 4 hamburger buns, toasted

    What to Do

    1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp; remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool, then crumble.
    2. In the same skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef and onion 6 to 8 minutes or until no pink remains, breaking up clumps as it cooks; drain off any excess fat. Add crumbled bacon, barbecue sauce, salt, and pepper and cook 5 minutes, or until heated through.
    3. Spoon over toasted buns and serve.

    • Fun Fact!There are actually two different versions of how the Sloppy Joe came to be. One story claims that it was born in an iconic club in Cuba, which is named Sloppy Joe's Bar. The second story claims that a line cook named Joe, from Sioux City, Iowa, one day decided to put some tomato sauce on his loose meat sandwich, and the rest is history. Whoever created it, we sure are glad they did!

  • Lately on Saturdays 'round here it's been https://www.jerseymikes.com/menu. During the season

    Their Original Italian (#13) a reall clean, great sub puts anything Subway makes to shame. Add a bag of chips... Crunchy Cheetos here, please.

    Plus they have hot sammies as well... Had an OK Philly Cheese. I hear the meatball is very good.

    As for home made? Getting to Fall here so that means Tamale time. I braise pork butt(s) Carribean style, but the transition to TexMex is easy... I watch the wife do it. 😁

  • Oh yes Jersey Mike's I like the #56 Big Kahuna Cheese Steak or the #3 The American Classic   -and-   their brownies and cookies are pretty good.

  • Jersey Mike's? Yep, the Original Italian done "Mike's Way". That's this households' favorite sub.

    A hot buttered cheese steak I could live with that.  We live in "restaurant alley" here in Boardman Ohio with about 60+ eating places within about 3 miles (+/-).  They look saturated in the Cleveland area but the closest to us is my old hometown of Niles Ohio.    Still a good looking sandwich........

    Been there, done that & since, it's been "sticking with the ol' standard" for me.

    Wife goes off to watch Grandkids tonight. I was debating about what to eat....It's off to Jersey Mike's I go. Thanks for the reminder!!
