1/4 cup Onion (Yellow) chopped
1/4 cup Celery chopped

1/2 can Diced Tomatoes
6oz Salsa (Newman's Own Pineapple)
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Curry Powder
1/6 cup Rice Wine Vinegar
1/6 cup Jalapeño Juice (the stuff jarred/canned jalapeños sit in. Jalapeños themselves can be added for more heat and flavor)

Sauté onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic until onions are translucent and soft. Add meat and continue cooking until meat is browned. Add kidney beans, diced tomatoes, salsa, spices, vinegar, and jalapeño juice. Mix thoroughly and let simmer uncovered on low-medium heat until excessive juices boil off. Serve over rice, with shredded cheddar and Fritos, or any of the other standard chili goodies!

The Great State of New Jersey

last time I cooked I made a vegetarian dish for my girlfriend. Pesto pasta with a Black Bean Sauce

Ingredients:
Pasta:
1 lb Pasta
Pesto Paste
Grated/shredded cheese

Sauce:
Olive Oil
1/2 Chopped/sliced yellow Onion
Garlic, sliced (1/4 clove is about right)
Sliced Mushrooms (i prefer white mushrooms)
1 can Goya Black Beans
1 jar Goya Sofrito (smaller size)
1 packet of Goya Sazon (I prefer with cilantro and achiote)
Adobo
Paprika

In a large frying pan/saucepan/skillet heat oil(dont skimp on it, you need a good amount)and sautee onions, garlic, and mushrooms
Drain (most of the) water from black beans and add to the sautee
Add the jar of sofrito (less if you feel it would flavor your sauce too strongly, its not for everyone)
Add the packet of sazon and season with paprika and adobo to taste
Mix vigorously

For the pasta, simply boil it as you would normally, when done add some of the pesto paste (I use a really thick homemade one, it acts more like a glaze to the pasta than a sauce, not sure how to describe it) and cheese and mix vigorously, serve, and enjoy.

Italian breading
Shredded Parmesan
2 butterfly porkchops
1 egg
sliced carrots
diced potatoes

Mix the cheese and breading, dip the pork chops in egg, cover them with the breading and cheese, put them in a pan, put the carrots and potatoes around the pork chops, bake at 400 until cooked all the way through (about 30 minutes) and viola, Parmesan pork chops with veggies. If you want you can use water instead of egg, but I don't find that it holds the breading as well.

I made something simple:

I marinated some porkchops in italian dressing for 4 hours in the fridge, then grilled them on my george foreman grill

sauteed some onions and sliced mushrooms in a light chicken broth.

then I just threw a salad together using spinach, romaine, banana peppers and shredded colby jack, then used the rest of the italian dressing that wasn't used to marinate the porkchops to dress it.

going to use the remaining porkchops and bread them like ahtman said, since that sounds good.

Behind you

kick ass burgers

You need - burger buns without seeds (important!)
500g minced beef
100g minced lamb
100g minced pork
2 eggs
couple of onions
lettuce
tomato
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic
1 teaspoon chilli
bacon

First, make the patties. Mix the minced meat together, with half the garlic and the chilli. Add an egg, and some diced onion and mix. Shape into patties, Larger is better than smaller.

Cut the buns in half, and oil them lightly, pop them on the grill, on the edge.

Fry the patties up whilst the buns toast and cook the bacon nicely.

mix in the rest of the garlic with some butter, shred the lettuce, chop tomatoes etc.

butter the toasted buns with garlic butter, add the cooked patties, and then add toppings and condiments. NOTE: Garlic is NOT optional.

Panzanella, or at least my version of it.

An indeterminate amount of stale, or oven dried bread cut into ~1 inch cubes.
Diced fresh mozzarella.
Diced red onion.
Flat leaf parsley, torn roughly.
A prosciutto chiffonade. This is the most annoying part, I find a little olive oil on the blade aids the process.
Toss with a standard caesar dressing (olive oil, anchovies, grated parmigiano, minced garlic, black pepper, red wine vinegar, an egg yolk, and a little lemon juice is what I use), let stand for 15-20 minutes, and garnish with shredded parmigiano.

    Tagliatelle with bacon and parmesan

    Take as much tagliatelle as you feel like and boil until al dente, slice the bacon into 1cm wide pieces and fry them nice and crispy. When the pasta is done, drain it, but save some of the water. Then add pasta to the frying pan when the bacon is done, adding some water. Grate parmesan over it, mix it and enjoy. Meal in 10 minutes and not really that much work.

    Hoary Long Fang with Lascannon



    Marrickville (sydney) NSW, Australia

    I fry up some diced bacon and mushrooms together then put them aside on a plate. I then cook my steak in the juices. I like it medium-rare but modify to taste. SHortly before it's cooked to taste put the bacon and mushrooms on top of the steak, cover with cheese. Place lid on pan or place in oven. When it gets all melty serve. It's my heart attack special... and god it's delicious! you can do it with chicken filets as well for a slightly healthier meal.

    Yesterday I cooked for myself and a lady friend of mine, the following:

    Pollo Mole: I don't know how traditional my version is, but it works. I took the cheap chicken breasts ( the "includes rib meat" type, very inexpensive), and prepared them in the pressure cooker, with just a little salt. They come out very tender. This went on a layer of whole grain rice and a pre-made mole sauce. By the way, if anyone knows a good recipe for a mole, please let me know. It has chocolate in it, and thats about all I know about it.

    Side dish of orange glazed beets: Boiled beets with the root and all but a couple cm of stem cut off. Covered with a glaze made from orange juice, orange marmalade, and butter.

    Also worth mentioning I'm still eating leftovers of my venison pasta. It is ground venison with whole wheat pasta, covered in an alfredo sauce, with a little basil.

    Pretty easy to make,

    1 pound ground beef, 80% lean is good for this.
    1/3 pound seasoned sausage,
    1-2 cups Bread crumbs, Seasoned works best
    2 large eggs
    seasoning of any kind you like, I go with spicier seasonings.
    salt and pepper

    Mix everything listed into a big bowl and mix together, make them into balls, about one bite to 1 and 1/2 bites, Brown in a pan or skillet, making sure to cook through out.

    add over the top any canned, jarred, home made, red sauce. heat sauce up, throw on bread and add a white cheese.
