sugar

So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries.

Subject: [CnD] a dish I make and some questions



Hi,



I make this dish wich is kind of a rp off of taco bells natcho bell 
grandae.




I fry up some hamburger and and a packet of taco seasoning mix. I will be
switching out the store bought mix once I find a recipe for homemade
seasoning that I like.



In a microwave safe bowl I add 1 can refried beans. I have not tried 
making
these from scratch yet but will be doing this at some point to. I also add 
a

jar of natcho cheese from a jar. I will be replacing this as well when I
find a recipe my wife and I like.



I microwave it until it is hot. In are microwave it takes about 4 minutes
with having to stir it every so often.



After the beans and the cheese are cooked together I add the meet and 
stir.

I add some sour cream and some onions and mix some more.



This is usually a dip so it is usually served with tostitos.



Here is my question and I am pretty sure it is simple and I am missing
something. This turns out a bit thin but my wife likes the idea of using
this in taco shells. Anyone have any good ideas for thickening this?

You can get the zip-lock bags.
Can you make a layered casserole in the crock pot?  I want to do meatballs, 
with noodles and onions spaghetti sauce and shredded  cheese.

I know that sometimes I want to transfer chopped onion to a ziplock one
quart bag, and it is a little bit of a challenge, as the opening is not as
wide as some other bags, but I put it into a bowl, and do my best.


Fear is just excitement in need of an attitude adjustment!

Does anyone have tips for transfering leftovers to ziplock-type bags
for freezing? I usually ask my husband to do it for me, because I get food
all over the bags.

Also, is there a way to label the bags with something that won't come
off in the freezer? I tried brailling some file folder labels, but they 
are
falling off, as items get pushed around in the freezer. I have a Pen 
Friend,
and the stickers adhere well. They are expensive, though, so I'm hesitant 
to
use them for leftovers, where I will be throwing away the bag after only 
one

use.

If you cook them less time they won't be dry. I tend to do that as well.

Sorry if to late! You can put any spices you want. Garlic would go well 
as well. You may want to cut the time to 45 minutes.

I have boneless porkchops, yes, sorry that isn't all that descriptive,

I want to make that for dinner tonight, so is it as simple as pooring
bbq sauce on the chops and put them in the oven on 350 for an hour? Me
and my kids like seasonings like lemon pepper so can I incorporate
that with the bbq chops?  Any suggestions so I can make a yummy dinner
tonight will be appreciated deeply.
Thank you and I love this list, but I don't read the emails that much

Concerning how much macaroni I used, are used about 3 1/2 cups. It was 3

but first of all I melt some butter in the water quite a bit you don't 
maybe about 2 tablespoons full two heaping tablespoons full and then that

Re: [CnD] a dish I make and some questions

Well, omit the cheese and sour cream. Instead of these great your own cheese, 
perhaps something with a bit of spice? I specifically say to great your own 
cheese because I have found that the cheeses that come already grated do not 
melt well. I have read this is because they are coated with a substance that 
helps to prevent them from sticking. In Lieu of the sour cream being inside 
your taco grande save it for a topping along with some fresh snipped cilantro 
and chopped scallions.

I find that putting grated cheese melts just fine on top of scrambled eggs. 
Your cheese probably won't melt if you wait to put the cheese on top of your 
taco fixings and don't heat the whole thing.

I use picante sauce, Pace, in three strengths of heat. This salsa has chopped 
vegetables in it. 

Tomorrow I am fixing a taco salad with ground beef, shredded carrot, sour cream 
and guacamole and of course Mexican four blend cheese. Of course the Pecante 
sauce is mixed with the hamburger.
