new off the cuff recipe

[Eminence_Front]

3 cups of soaked black beans.

(i bought the one's with no english thay say "Frijoles Negroes")

Soak in 1/2 part icewater 1/2 part Dos Equis (or other mexican beer.)


toss in a crock pot on medium, with 1 whole diced white onion, half cup of bacon or diced country ham.

1 regular size can of diced tomatoes with green chihli's

half cup of jalapeno's with the juice.
(i use the "tamed" one's which are sans seeds. if you like it spicy, use regular strength Jappalenos.)


Cook overnight on "medium" . . .


Voila, one helluva pot of borracho black beans.

[Chihlidog]

That would be really good. I may try it one of these days.

I need a bloody crock pot. :mad:

Philly, you can use a regular stock pot, and just use half the beans.


It killed me to stick them in the fridge this morning. I woke up at 5:45 to the house smelling like a soup kitchen.



Went down and had me a tea-cup full for breakfast. Yummm-o

I have been wanting to get one. This will give me a good excuse. hahaha.

Zesty Beer Meatballs

Ingredients:
3 lbs. lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onions, divided
1/2 cup fine dry seasoned bread crumbs
3 eggs
1 can (12 ounces) of beer
1 (6 oz) can spicy V-8 juice or use regular V-8
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. hot sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1 large bottle (14 to 16 ounces) ketchup
1 tsp. horseradish
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Preparation:
Combine ground beef, 1/2 cup onions, seasoned bread crumbs, and eggs. Make the mixture into small meatballs. Cook meatballs in a large skillet, turning to brown all sides, or bake in the oven until browned, about 30 minutes at 375°. Drain meatballs and discard fat. In saucepan combine remaining ingredients. Simmer for 15 minutes. Put meatballs and sauce into slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 6 hours. Gently stir the meatballs occasionally. To make them more saucy, add a little more ketchup and V-8, along with seasonings, to taste. Makes about 6 dozen meatballs.
