Made what's called a cowboy casserole last night.  Very good.  It has hamburger, onions, black beans, diced tomatoes, garlic, corn, taco seasoning, chedder cheese and tater tots.  good luck.

If you leave off the hamburger and tater tots, and just use the chopped veggies and seasonings, I've heard that recipe referred to Cowboy Caviar for tortilla chips.

If you add red, green, and jalepeno peppers, maybe. And oil. And Cilantro.

Yes, that would make a great dip.  I would add some of the stuff that Reb suggested also.  good luck.

I bought 5 lbs of some nice 85/15 from the meat market here.  They ground it.  Have them all made up and freezing now or at least stiffening up before I vac pack them and then in the freezer they go for good.  2 per pkg.  5.5 ozs ea. so 1/3 lbers.  Works out great for a quick meal.  Could even sous vide them.  I just throw them in a frying pan froze if I didn't have time to thaw them in the sink in cold water.  We try to keep some buns in the freezer too.  Just buy them and throw in the freezer.  When time to use just thaw for 10 minutes and then toast in the pan or toaster and they are good as new.  Nice quick meal.

Huh? If they're in the bag?    :scratch:

I do know to put them in a deep freeze, NOT yer refrigerator freezer that self defrosts...makes ice crystals form on them.

Oh I bet they would get bad if in too long in frig freezer.  We go through them fairly fast so not too bad for us.  This is so easy to do and makes a great burger whenever you want one.  We smile everytime we have them cuz it's so easy.  It gives me great pleasure doing it too.  I also put them on the grill frozen.   :sleazy:

I do freeze 1 1/4 lb. chunks too.  1 lb is just not big enough for soups, spaghetti, and cowboy cooking as RH brought up earlier.

Sounds good.  So do you have a BBQ burger recipe?   :bonk: :bonk:

Yup. Just cook the burger with some chopped onion and green peppers. Drain grease. Mix equal parts ketchup and yer favorite BBQ sauce, about a cup. Add a bit of water to it. Pour over burger and simmer covered/uncovered until it cooks down to consistency you like.

Yes it was a cold, rainy, windy day yesterday, however, I still fired up the grill.  Made enough for lunch (Chicken ceasar salad) and supper chicken pasta with grapes and cashews. 



***I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.***

Apricot-glazed pigger chops, mashed sweet taters, and a loaded salad with fresh cherry tomatoes.  Cherry yogurt for dessert.   :tongue:

Made some beef stew last night and it looks like enough for leftovers today.  Didn't add any corn starch to it to thicken it up though.  I like it to be like soup more.  good luck.
