I also asked hubby to use up some more of the cabbage and make his incredible coleslaw.
Not at all sure what is in this, but I do know it tastes good.
No measurements here, but I did get hubby to tell me some of the ingredients
-Mayo
-Apple Cider Vinegar
-LOTS OF Pepper (all kinds)
-chili powder
-basil
-oregano
-garlic - finely diced
-milk
and other stuff is what he tells me (how bout that for specific?)
Well, basically this is a pretty good description of what we eat on a regular basis - random concoctions. It's terribly fun.
Both dishes look really tasty. A stick and a half of butter in the chicken?? I'd be in heaven.
ReplyDelete(I once had a roommate who said that if she rubbed butter on a brick I would probably eat it. We never actually tried that, though.)
This is what I'm having for lunch today and I thought of you guys... This recipe is EXTREMELY cheap, and EXTREMELY easy. (I use only 1-2 chicken breasts and sometimes leave out the sour cream cause those are the most expensive items.) I just dump the whole thing (cubed raw chicken included) in a crockpot for a day or two. Also, dry beans are cheaper than canned, and you don't have to presoak or anything. I just grab a couple bags of different types of beans and throw them all in the mix. It's very filling. My husband and I will eat a good 10+ meals out of it.

@mmmbah
ReplyDeleteYeah that recipe look great, I might have to make a few substitutions, but everything looks like fairly cheap ingredients, and on hand ta boot! It's also very much in keeping with the kinds of foods we like to eat (read: lots of spicy chicken concoctions)
Does the chicken get to mushy after cooking that long? I think I might choose to soak the beans first before cooking. What do you think of that?
@Cathy R - I "only" used one stick of butter... and it still tasted like heaven.
Ruby, the chicken didn't get mushy, it actually got a little tougher than i was hoping for. I didn't need to soak the beans, because by the time they sit in a crockpot of liquid for 10+ hours, they were just fine :) But if you changed the time (cooked it on high, precooked the chicken, etc) you might need to soak.
ReplyDeleteWow, the slaw looks great!
