Let’s try this again. Please post your favorite, tried and true recipes. I want recipes you have personally used or family recipes.

I’m trying to create a very personal sharing of food among us. What’s more personal than sitting at a table together and sharing a meal? (Sex, but don’t go tgere you pervs)

It is perfectly fine to post recipes that you don’t know exact measurements. Just get as close as you can and describe how you know when something is tge right amount.

I will start with the red slaw.

I make this dish probably once a week.

It’s a favorite in our house.

The only change I make is that I use purple onion instead of white.

I also garnish mine with sesame seeds and green onion.

Sesame Oil, Ketchup, Sriracha, Maple Syrup.

I’ve been making these a lot lately since I became a vegetarian. Gives you a little boost of energy and protein and satisfies a sweet craving. You do need a food processor though.

@disciple told me about easy fried potatoes. You just cut your potatoes very small and add a little oil in a pan. Once the pan is hot add your potatoes. You don’t need a lot of oil. I stir mine constantly until they’re golden brown. You want your potatoes in about no more than 1/2 inch cubes. I also put Slap Ya Momma (this is spicy) seasoning on mine while I’m cooking. If you don’t like spicy just a little salt/pepper is fine. Also I fry them at medium heat for about 20 minutes.

Easy “beef stroganoff”
1 pound hamburger
Egg noodles
Sour cream (to taste)

2 small can cream mushroom soup (do not add water to the soup)

Salt/ pepper to taste
Directions: boil your egg noodles according to package directions. Drain in a colander. Set aside. Brown your chopped up hamburger. Drain any grease and return hamburger to pan. Add 2 cans cream mushroom soup to hamburger. Stir until well blended. Add salt/pepper/sour cream to taste. Eat with cooked egg noodles.

Haha! Here goes my chili recipe:

  1. Buy two Save a Lot brand seasoning packets
  2. About three onions, any color is fine
  3. About one to two pounds of beef
  4. Mexican hot sauce
  5. Ketchup
  6. Two 8 ounce cans of tomato sauce.
  7. Two cans of plain pinto beans

Brown at least one pound of beef with a few chopped up onions.

In a huge pot dump in the pinto beans, tomato sauce, a few big squirts of ketchup, a few squirts of the Mexican hot sauce.

When the meat and onions are done dump all of that in the huge pot with the pinto beans etc. Then mix in the two seasoning packets.

Simmer and stir frequently for about 15 minutes, minimum.

Let cool for about fifteen minutes and enjoy!

Liver:

Cut into strips
Soak in milk for an hour. (Cover fully)
Season with a favorite
Bread with flour
Pan fry with favorite oil

Include onions or whatever.

The milk takes the bitterness out. It’s important to let soak in milk.

Well, I cheat; I use a premium ($4.50-$5.50 per can) canned chili sauce as a base. It has to be a certain brand, though; it’s a local brand, so I don’t want to give the name of it, giving away my location.

It’s a chili made specifically for chili mac, or some people put it on hot dogs, too, more of a chili sauce. You might be able to use a canned chili dog sauce for it, might work, idk.

But yeah:

Chili Mac

2 - 15ish oz cans chili sauce
1 lb spaghetti
1 lb ground round or ground sirloin
8 oz or more extra sharp cheddar cheese
1 can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Curry powder
Hot sauce
around 1-2 tablespoon minced garlic
around 4 large habanero peppers, to taste, minced
1 bay leaf
Extra virgin olive oil

Put a small amount of extra virgin olive oil in a deep skillet or saucepan. Cook garlic and habaneros in oil for 1-2 minutes, then add chili sauce, stir. Add raw ground beef to chili sauce, crumble and cook ground beef in the chili sauce. Once the meat is cooked, add kidney beans and a few dashes of curry powder, then bay leaf. Simmer for 2 hours.

Cook spaghetti, rinse it after draining, if desired to cool it off some. Remove bay leaf from sauce, stir in cheddar until it is melted in and blended. Add hot sauce to taste. Toss with spaghetti. You can top individual servings with more cheddar, if desired.

You can sub other cheeses, though; I just prefer cheddar, the sharper the better.

I suggest rinsing the cooked spaghetti because the chili sauce will be bubbling hot.
