Favorite Ingredient Friday~Taco chili

Mar-23-2007 By mylifeasannie

I almost forgot to do a recipe for FIF today! I guess things are really busier than usual around here. With Izzy recovering from yesterday, we are spending the day pampering and snuggling her a lot. She is better today though. Thanks for your prayers.

I saw this recipe last week on Paula Deen and it is a lot like the taco soup recipe but calls for dried beans, sounds fabulous right?


Taco Chili

1 cup dried kidney beans

1/2 cup dried pinto beans

1 (1 1/4-ounce) package taco seasoning mix

1 (1-ounce) package buttermilk salad dressing mix

3 tablespoons dried minced onion

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1 1/2 cups corn or tortilla chips
4 cups water

1 (11 3/4-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles

1 (16-ounce) can tomato sauce

1 pound ground beef, cooked and drained

Place beans in a large bowl, cover with water and soak 6 to
8 hours, or overnight. Drain and add to a Dutch oven. Add seasonings, water, diced tomatoes and green chiles, tomato sauce, and ground beef.
Heat to boiling, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2 hours, or until beans are tender. Or just throw it all in the crockpot for the day and voila!

Serve with corn or tortilla chips.

Friday’sFeast~

APPETIZER

Who is your favorite news anchor/reporter? why?

I watch GMA some, like them okay… watch national news… but a favorite? I guess I don’t pay that much attention. aybe Gary England on News 9 here in Oklahoma, I always seek Gary’s face out when it starts looking like tornado weather…

SOUP

Name three foods that are currently in your freezer…

Sonic ice, may not be a food… but it is always there and it’s my favorite.
low - cal fudgesicles Frozen blueberries for Izzy’s shake
(blueberries are good for the brain.)

SALAD

If you were to have the opportunity to name a new town or city, what would you call it? Why Annie of course… Annie, Oklahoma… has a nice ring to it huh?

MAIN COURSE

What will most likely be the next book you read?

Well, I have been carrying around a Karen Kingsbury book that Jenna recommended and I really want to read, so probably that one… I’m working on three Andrew Wommack devotional books as well as the bible, currently doing the Psalms Proverbs system (March 1 I read Ps. 1, 31, 61, 91 and 121 as well as Prov 1; and so on.)Matt and I compare the verses that stood out to us each day and it is funny how we seem to always pick up different ones…

DESSERT

What’s the first thing you notice about the opposite gender?

Hmmm… Probably the same thing I notice about women… eyes, smile, stature, genuineness. You can tell a lot about a person when you look into their eyes, see how they smile, how do they hold themselves? Do they seem real? Those are the things I seem to notice about people.
