Re: [CnD] Nyyki’s Traditional Texas Chili (Was: Chili with no beans)

2016-09-10 Thread Nicole Massey via Cookinginthedark
Chili with beans isn't chili, it's chili stew, though many folks north of the 
Red River don't know the difference between the two. Traditional chili, as a 
menu item instead of a sauce, is range food that accomplished two things -- it 
used side cuts of beef from a cow or steer that didn't make the long drive up 
the trails to Kansas City, and it also saved money and rations as beans, a 
cowhand's least favorite meal, can be saved indefinitely in the chuck wagon. 
Hot dog sauce is a variant of the sauce variety, which is best known as chili 
con carne to differentiate it from the main dish version, and it tends to be 
sweeter and thinner -- it's sort of like a mixture of sauce chili plus some 
catsup or ketchup and mustard. Below is my traditional chili recipe, which I've 
made for decades.

Nyyki’s Traditional Texas Chili
 Okay, I’m from Texas and Chili is our state dish, and this recipe is a range 
chili. This means there are no beans in the recipe. However, if you like, you 
can add beans after cooking the chili.
The recipe works best with a “chili meat” grind; this is a larger grind than 
ground beef. If you want more heat, add red pepper flakes, diced jalapenos 
(either fresh or pickled), or hotter peppers like habaneros. You could also use 
a tomato and green chili blend like Ro-Tel to increase the heat level.
The chili can be ladled over rice, crushed crackers, or even cornbread. A good 
sharp cheddar cheese and/or diced onions are also nice with the Chili.
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
1 med. onion, minced
2 lb. of chili meat
1 lb. of ground pork sausage
1 can tomato sauce
1 can of diced tomatoes, Large
2 tsp. of cumin
1 tbsp. of chili powder
1 tbsp. clove fresh chopped garlic
2 packets store brand chili seasoning
2 cups of water
Place all ingredients into a crock pot, and stir. Then, simmer for 4 hours on 
high or until the meat is tender; add water to keep the chili from getting too 
dry.
Variations: Venison, Buffalo, or even exotic red meats can be used instead of 
beef. A chicken-based sausage can be used instead of pork sausage. You can also 
add mushrooms.

Hi there, hope everyone is having a great weekend. Anyhow, I was wondering if 
any of you have a recipe that you would like to share. I'm looking for chili 
with no beans. I believe they sell it in a cat at the grocery store and it's 
called hotdog sauce.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Re: [CnD] Chili with no beans

2016-09-10 Thread Charles Rivard via Cookinginthedark
Hotdog sauce is different than chili with no beans.  It's sort of like a 
Sloppy Joe stuff, only a bit spicier.  I have a recipe for making extremely 
hot chili that has no beans in it.  The base is Wolf brand canned chili that 
has no beans.  If that is what you're looking for, I can post it.  If you 
are looking for a recipe for hot dog sauce, I don't have one.  I'm not sure 
which you're looking for because both were mentioned in your query.





If you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished!!

Re: [CnD] Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, homemade

2016-09-10 Thread Janet Brown via Cookinginthedark
Corn bread or corn muffins top the list for my favorite muffins with bran 
muffins coming in a close second.
I used to make Jiffy cornbread a lot but now I use this recipe and prefer it.
Like everything, it is a matter of taste.
My cornbread muffins
Makes 12 regular sized muffins.
ingredients
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal yellow or white
1 tbsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tbsp granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 half stick butter melted
1 cup milk
preheat oven to350
melt half stick in microwave and then put it in the refrigerator for a couple 
of minutes to cool off before you need it.
While butter is cooling, mix corn meal, flour, baking powder sugar and salt in 
large bowl.
If you are using self-rising flour, leave out the baking powder.
combine milk and eggs with now cooled butter.
Combine wets and dries and combine but do not overmix as they always say.
grease a 12 cup muffin pan and transfer batter with weapon of choice.
I generally use an ice cream scoop.
Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or a couple of minutes less if they smell done.
I keep these in my freezer for a great breakfast or crumbled up in milk.

[CnD] Muffin Mix with instructions

2016-09-10 Thread Kathy Brandt via Cookinginthedark


Note:  I do my muffins at 350, since think they come out too hard at 400.


8 Cups of All-Purpose Flour or wheat flour if you prefer
3 Cups of Sugar
3 Tablespoons of Baking Powder
2 Teaspoons of Salt
2 Teaspoons of cinnamon
2 Teaspoons of nutmeg
Mix all of these dry items together and store in a container in your pantry 
for you

to use when you need it!

To actually make our muffins:
finished-bulk-muffin-mix
2 3/4 cups of the above mix
1 beaten egg
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup of melted butter

Mix the beaten egg, milk and butter together and pour into muffin mix.  Mix 
with
a fork until well blended.  Then add whatever  add-ins you like and mix 
again.  Pour into your
muffin tin (2/3 full) or cake pan (for a cake like muffin) and bake at 400 
degrees

for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.


You can  make them like they are and then once baked roll in melted butter 
and then roll
in sugar and cinnamon mix for what is called "French Muffins" (one of my 
mom's traditional

muffins for special occasion breakfasts!

I think, judging by how much baking powder is in the mix recipe, this mix 
would make about 2 batches of 12 muffins, regular size, muffins.
You would have to add oil or butter, somewhere between a half and single cup 
plus 2 eggs and whatever fruit or distinguishing flavor you wanted your 
muffins to have.
I would use about a cup of fruit or pumpkin of choice and maybe a quarter 
cup of raisins or nuts.
