Funny reading this.

Just had a dish of chopped beef, beans, garlic, onions, tomatoes.

And rice with lentils.

Added a few fresh green chili’s from the garden!

I don’t have the unpleasant air freshener problem! clap

Adding a pinch of baking soda during the bean soak reduces the sugar that causes the gas.

Saeed, my wife believes religiously in rice and lentils. Can you give your recipe?

Bill, you are a big party pooper. You are killing all the "Blazing Saddles" fun.

I cut a pound of bacon into 1” sections and cook until it with chili pods until the bacon bends but does not break then add the cans of beans and other spices. I add a bit of liquid smoke as well. Garnish with onion, shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream. Cook time 40 min to an hour in a cast iron pot or skillet. you can finish the beans in the oven or the stove top. If you have the time, you could substitute burnt ends instead of bacon.

John, for God's sake my friend you know I am not an authentic Southwesterner. I might take care of my dead kin here, but I am an Oregonian by birth, so this dollop of sour cream thing could easily be complete heresy for this neck o' the woods. That doesn't mean it isn't delicious!

Bill, you are a big party pooper. You are killing all the "Blazing Saddles" fun.


Depends on what she likes.

She can add whatever flavor she wishes.

I normally make sure there is plenty of garlic, some cumin seeds, tomatoes and green chilis.

Sometimes I add boiled eggs, meat or chicken.

Cooking for me is very simple really, my family laugh at me because all I do is throw everything together, and let it cook.

Nothing ruins a good meal like a so called CHEF!

I have so much fun going to all sorts of luxury resorts, when the chef comes and asks what I would like to have.

Had an Italian at a Canadian ski resort.

I must admit he was very good, as he kept everyone happy, including me.

I would ask "are you sure you can actually cook a proper meal?"

You should see the looks sometimes I get.

On his day off, a lady came as replacement.

First thing in the morning she said "I was told about you!"

I said "nothing good I hope!"

She laughed, and said "you are having your steak tonight. Well done. tested by picking it up. If it bends, cook it some more!"

I said "well done, you have passed the test"

"I will make sure there is plenty of lemon juice and Tabasco too!"

See, being rude works.

I soak pints over night. Big pot lots of water, texjoy chili powder, cut up onion some salt, boil the hell out of the beans until they get good and soft. No crunchy beans for me! Then add sausage chunks or brisket ends. Add a cast iron skillet full of jalapeno cornbread, crunchy on the bottom.

Beans and cornbread is soul food!

Life is GOOD.

Saeed,

I try to never be rude. And I really disagree with any steak being well done. But an NFL quarterback has said how much he likes ketchup on everything. Ketchup belongs on french fries. Nothing else in my opinion. It's all about what we like. And if you like your steak well done, enjoy. Strengthens the jaw muscles and makes you look younger.

John, I P.M.ed you my recipe but just working off the cuff I forgot to add the can of Ro-Tel tomatoes + chilis. You WILL need that as well.

Oh, an addendum on crunchy beans. We have a large alkaline deposit in our water here so if the beans are a year old or better then that occurs; however using bottled water cures that.

Some good spicy beans and a spoon full of sour cream or Crema is superb. Try it, like green eggs and ham.

A perfect t steak dinner for me is either a ribeye or t-bone.

Cooked to perfection.

Baked potato, with lots of lemon or lime juice, Tabasco and a bit of soy sauce.

We have friends coming over for dinner tonight.

A BBQ by our pool.

I am really looking forward to it.

"Well Done", YIKES!

You can go too far either way. Gatogordo used to take his steak, the cheapest one he could buy, and aim it at the grill, like you would aim a flat rock at a still pond. He would try to have his steak skip off the surface of the grill once. Then he would proceed to eat it. Give me a good ribeye, medium.

Me too on the choice of steak. As to the baked potato, I guess that I will have to try the lemon or lime juice, Tabasco and soy sauce.

I like my steak rare + as to my baked potato (a prerequisite with a steak) I top it with butter, sour cream, grated cheese, bacon bits, + chopped chive onions. And you're right; Tabasco goes well with everything!

you got my recipe in your post for help above..and with its options...I was raised on a ranch on the Texas Border and grew up on the stuff. Try some Menudo if you get a chance I love it, but the family screams and runs out the door when I cook it.

we call menudo "asshole and elbows soup". one of my sons eats it, the rest of us would rather do like a buddy from way back when on the border would do......get eyeballs from the butcher and put em in his burritos. sick

Ate some menudo once by mistake. It is not a thing I hope to repeat, but know many relish the dish. Lots of "Menudo hoy" signs at the Mexican joints around here.
My steak and tater go-to is a nice big Yukon Gold doing the backstroke in butter alongside a pan-seared and oven-finished filet pulled at 120 degrees internal and allowed to rest for 10.

Did I hear sacrilege? Cans of beans. Only way to cook beans is dried, soaked overnight and cooked in a pot. I'll accept a pressure cooker.

Ray,

I too grew up right on the border. I love menudo too.

Again, proves I'll eat anything.

Had tripe soup in Africa once and it wasn't so good. They cut the tripe (buffalo) into one inch cubes. Too big. You know how chewy it is.

I'm also a big fan of barbacoa and cabrito. You used to be able to buy live goats on the roadside and just find a sign on any given Sunday about the availability of barbacoa. Haven't seen any small goats on the side of the road lately. The goat in Tanzania is good, but not as good as in Mexico or on the border. They cook older goats.

True, I used to see along the road signs saying "Se Venda cabrito"; not so much anymore. I personally like menudo. This is the Mexican solution to a hangover. A few years ago there was a program on NPR that talked about how American scientists had 'discovered' a correlation between the enzymes in cattle intestines + the fact that it opened the blood vessels of the brain to relieve headaches. HA! I wonder how much that cost us taxpayers for a solution that every Mexican already knows.

Always wanted to try cabrito.
Funny thing about goats and some cattlemen. We had a well-known cowman and very fine auctioneer who loved to volunteer for the 4-H and FFA kids' project beef sale at the county fair. But when it came time to auction the kids' goats, he would step away and let another guy handle it. He didn't mind doing sheep or hogs, but he refused to have anything to do with G.d. goats under any circumstances!

Cabrito is a kid goat, still on milk and ready to wean, or get its throat cut..split in half lengthwise saving kidneys liver and heart for some..

paint it with olive oil, or any cooking oil, and lay it down ribs under and let it cook over mesquite coals, maybe pecan or apple, don't know, just always used mesquite on a open fire, no lid. 12 to 18 inches off burned down to white ash coals..some use a red sauce of Heinz 57 and beer with whatever secret poison they claim..My favorite is the oil in a Jalapeno can for mopping the meat, gives it a twang..goes good with sliced avacado tomatoes lettuce. refried beans, and pico de gallo and flour tortillas..a burned onion goes well with this..Some lime the meat and onion and thats tasty IMO..

NOw, what is wrong with road kill Javalina?? sissies... beer Lone Star!!

Ray,

Like how you cook cabrito.

Javelina can be good, but I hate cleaning them due to the fleas. You have to cut off the scent sack on the back immediately or it will taint the meat. But if you do, they are good grilled. I like to soak them in a red wine and clove marinade beforehand.

no no no! when you are poor or are in college and broke you can mix ketchup and hot water for a tomato soup substitute. and it makes a passable dip with a bowl of chips if thats all you got.

either because i worked the night shift for so many years or because i lived out of a truck for awhile as a dumbass teenager i just can't go to sleep at night if i'm even a little hungry. so i either eat late or have a not good for me snack as i'm reading in bed before lights out. now, due to my recent bean cooking (for me) success, i eat a light dinner, then as i'm reading in bed i'll mix up a small bowl of frijoles and a very small 1 1/2" (?) square of plain corn bread, about 4 spoonfuls beans/bread total, and i can go right to sleep and not have to get up later and snack on something. well, that and a coupla shots of tequilla and lime or such. PLUS.. the next day theres the joyful sound of pent up gas echoing thru the house! grandkids love it and the wife is mad as hell. so...its a wash.and of course constipation due to my meds is a thing of the past. beans....whats not to like??
