I'm always cookin a pot or wantn a pot. No fair Larry cause you caught me wantn a pot.

Xannie, those folks seamed nice enough. I think they would like you just fine.
Joe

yeah PapaJoe,
til i tell 'em how much better green chile is than that red stuff

They even have a whole green section there Xannie. You would fit right in!
Joe

Hello All,
Xannie01 banished from a site...never. Must be Xannie01's evil twin that gets banished.
Roosy, this site looks great. Thanks for sharing it. My chili has been a little boring
lately and this place will zest it up.
Take Care,
Fieldthistle

Well said as always Field!

Zest it up? Your turkey chili did not sound boring to me. I always look over that "weird things" thread here for new ideas. there is also a good chili recipes thread here somewhere. That said, I DO like that chiliforum site.

Field, let us know how you decide to zest up your next batch.
Joe

if you're a chili purist you read on at your own risk.



here's a quick and dirty "got to have a chili fix right now" recipe.

2 lbs of ground beef
your favorite chili seasoning pack/mix
1 can tomato's - chopped, whole, sauce...whatever you like
1-2 cans of hoppin john

cook the ground beef and drain. add everything else. cook for 15 minutes. eat. even better the next day.

hoppin john is typically:

tomato
onions
garlic
jalapeno
black eyed peas


while it is often served with rice, hoppin john is made of the ingredients above.

Larry or... Who makes a good canned hoppin john? Sounds great in some fast chili.
Joe

I buy Margaret Holmes brand.

<------ Oh, competition!

thehotpepper.com,
trust me..yer one of a kind

Thanks Larry! Nice line of products and sold near me they say.

Do you have a chili forum Hotster, or do you make a canned hoppin john?
Joe

Oh, the green section is called "not red - verde". Some interesting stuff there.
Joe

Glory makes a pretty good hoppin John as well as a lot of other very tasty canned veggies.

Thanks Mike! Hoppin john chili over rice, mmmm... sounds good to me!
Joe

More on the hoppin john front. i eat hj often...by itself, as a side, as a sauce, etc.

last night I "cooked" a couple pieces of salmon*, reduced a can of hoppin john for 20 minutes, and poured the HJ on top of the salmon.

added a can of spinach with butter (I eat a good amount of spinach but it is usually frozen - all the spinach in the news recently had me hankering ).

good eating.


* i buy the blackened seasoned salmon fillets from sams - this has the paul prudhommes cajun seasoning blend. smoke it, bake it, steam it, smother it. always spicy. good stuff.

Some nice recipes there

There are Phil, and lotsa great recipes here at roadfood but you gotta hunt em down. The chili section is full of them. And, feel free to add your fav.
Joe

I saw a recipe at the chiliforum using smoked brisket. Sounds good to me! Only, to not eat it up before it goes in the chili may be hard?
