Melanie’s Chili

January 8, 2007 / / 0 Comments

Recipe Source: Melanie / allrecipes.com

Prep/Cooking Time: 30 Min

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (16 ounce) can pinto beans
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Directions:

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook beef and onion until meat is no longer pink. Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans, chili powder, cumin, cayenne and garlic. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.

Melanie’s Notes:

To make a double batch, double everything except the meat and onion. Use 1 can each of pinto and kidney beans, that is how I normally make it.

Bacon Wraps

Recipe Source: Teresa Hand

You’ll need:

Townhouse crackers
Cream cheese
Bacon
Toothpicks

Directions:

Let the cream cheese set out and soften. Spread a little on the crackers and make a sandwich out of it. Wrap a half of slice of bacon around it and poke a toothpick through it, keep going until all of the cream cheese and bacon is gone. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place each “sandwich” on a flat baking sheet. Cook for about 15 or 20 minutes rotating them about half way through.

Hawai’ian Pizza

January 1, 2007 / / 2 Comments

Recipe Source: Too many to mention here

Prep/Cooking Time: 2+ hours, don’t get in a hurry on this one

Ingredients:

Dough:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup water

Mix all ingredients, knead, cover, and let rise for 1 hour, 15 minutes. If you have a bread machine with a dough setting, this would be a good time to put that to use.

Toppings:

  • 14 oz your favorite pizza/marinara sauce
  • 8-12oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 6 oz Canadian bacon
  • 6 oz pineapple chunks. Canned works, but fresh is better

Preheat oven to 450F. Toss dough and spread into metal pizza pan big enough to fit in your oven. Spread sauce evenly over dough, stopping just short of the very edge. Spread cheese evenly over the top of the sauce. Add a little more if you’re feeling particularly cheesy. Finish with Canadian bacon and pineapple. Place in oven for 12-15 minutes, and keep a close eye on it the last few minutes. Let it get done, but don’t let it burn. Let cool for 5 minutes.

I’m enjoying this very recipe during the 2007 Rose Bowl game between USC and Michigan. This is one of two times of the year I pull for USC. The other is when they play Notre Dame.
