I didn't feel like making bacon and hearing my older girl complain. I don't know where I went wrong!! She doesn't like bacon. The only way she will eat bacon is in my corn and bacon waffles - she LOVES them.Eating vegetarian tonight. By some standards

Thanks I've been smelling this chili since 8:30 this morning, Dawg.

very nice sounding dinners, everyone. and nice job, pac and vb.
pac, that's interesting how you made your chili con carne. i'm guessing a lot of the spices and chilies you used were red, hence the colour. what kind of peppers did you use?
i'm going to have to try that one day...
She likes ALL of those and taylor ham (pork roll) just NOT bacon so much. She doesn't like the fat. She isn't very happy when I use the fat to fry things in. LOL "The fat is why I don't like bacon much MOM! Now you're frying in it? <eye rolls>"Priceless!
You may need to start small, turn her on to another breakfast meat, like sausage links or patties, maybe ham steaks
Bacon wasn't always one of my favorite meats. Now look at me
So, Pacanis' Personal Pigskin Challenge had my Brownies playing the Texans... and getting their butt kicked. And today's dinner was "authentic" TX chili con carne, the state dish of Texas. At least this was as authentic as I could research.
Chili con carne, chili peppers with meat, and that's what I made. No tomato products at all, I made a chili paste with peppers, cumin, salt, pepper and a little water and added it to my meat (ribeye steak and smoked pulled pork) along with beef stock, water, beer and a couple other items
I said a while back that I may never make chili with beans again, I haven't, and I'm saying now, I may never make chili again with tomato products... until my team plays Cincinnati again anyway
Very tasty and intense.
Texas Red. Not to be confused with the other Texas Red, sulforhodamine 101 acid chloride
That looks sp good VB. Your potatoes sound so good. I love chives and onion in/on potatoes. I have never put sauteed onion in my mashed but I will have to try that.I made the polish sausage, but I paired it with mixed vegetables.

BTW What kicks these pictures over the top is the green plate. The green really highlights the colors of the food.That looks sp good VB. Your potatoes sound so good. I love chives and onion in/on potatoes. I have never put sauteed onion in my mashed but I will have to try that.
Thanks. Here's the recipe I used.

I did not make quite so much paste because I was not using 2 lbs of meat, but you can see how it still colored the chili reddish. I used dried chili peppers.
That was a good read, Andy. Not longwinded at all
I tend to agree with you on the beans. You would certainly think they would have added them, or built the dish around them.
Very colorful dish, VB. Everything really jumps out on that green plate.
you got some people pretty excited with your "bowl 'o red", pac. i'm one of them--still thinking about that texan chili today. gotta try making a bowl 'o my own soon....
