Hi folks!!! I love to cook and better yet, I love to eat what I cook and what others cook!
I was referred by a good friend Deadly Sushi, thanks DS! :thumb:
Welcome to NCT. Glad you signed up Sattie. We have one Texan transplant that now lives in Va. Otherwise I think you are our first Texan. Congrats!
I look forward to some down home Texas recipes.
We are striving to be a Friendly and Entertaining Food Forum. With Sushi on board how can we miss? :thumb:
Rep points for Sushi for the referral. :thumb: :D

I have one recipe that I created myself. If you like, I will post it in the appropriate forum. I will say that I have never shared my recipe and not sure what folks will make of it. Plus I like hot and spicy so I tend to make my chili with a bit of heat in it. OH... and I like beans in mine which I know some chili purists tend to frown on that!

I'm back after a long absence. I usually can't do more than one forum and at the time was hooked on another cooking forum. Well, come to find out, there are some moderators there that abuse their powers and violated my privacy. So here I am again.
I'm here to yap about cooking, nothing more.
Great Sattie. Sorry for overbearing mods, that is one thing I'll guarantee you will not find here. I'm glad your back. I just signed up a new mod who is going to help keep NCT active ...with your help and our other regulars / mods I think we'll get this place hopping.
Maybe we should start a recipe of the week or something to get us all thinking.
Any ideas Sattie?

Give me a bit to re-adjust. I'm still a bit put off by the shinnanigans at the other site and just not sure who or what can be trusted. Thanks for having me back, I will check back once I get my attitude made over.

Hi sattie...and welcome. :wave:Re-adjust as much as needed.
I was born and raised in KS, but have lived all over the place, including Canada. I live in KS now but have lived in Tyler and Lubbock, and I do love TEXAS! My daughter attended school at Texas Tech in Lubbock.
We are so glad you are with us. No shinnanigans here....just good solid folks with a sincere effort to make this one of the best.
We are looking forward to your posts! Feel free to open the lines of discussion.......on any subject.
Do you take pictures? :mrgreen:

Think about it for a minute and you will realize that the dumb dog routine is just an act. They have you very well trained and you don't realize it!

Good to see you around again Sattie!!! :smile:
Did someone say Texas Chili? Here is one I make often and love.
Tyler's Texas Chili Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence
Ingredients:
Chili Seasoning
3 dried ancho peppers, stemmed and seeded
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons whole coriander
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 onions, chopped
3 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 canned chipotle chile, chopped
1/2 jalapeno pepper, chopped
2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, hand crushed
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons masa harina (mexican cheese)
1/2 tablet Mexican chocolate (about 1 1/2 ounces)
Grated queso fresco, for garnish
Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish
In a small dry skillet over low heat add the ancho peppers, oregano, paprika, coriander, cumin, and chili powder. Cook until they begin to smell, about 2 minutes. Put the spices into a spice mill or food processor and grind until they are powdered. Set aside.
Heat a large heavy bottomed casserole over medium heat; add 3 tablespoons olive oil and the onions. Cook until the onions are soft and beginning to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Pat the beef dry and season it with salt and pepper. Add it to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until it has browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the toasted spice mix, the garlic, chipotle, jalapeno, tomatoes, cinnamon stick, and sugar. Season with salt and stir well. Add some hot water until the meat is just covered with liquid. Return to the boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the meat and shred it with a fork. Return it to the pot, stir in the masa harina and chocolate, and cook for another 10 minutes, uncovered, to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve with the queso fresco, cilantro, and lime for garnish.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
