What Have You Cooked Recently?

[Thomas Highway]

Also goes for brussels sprouts, collard greens, even meatloaf is actually good if you give a shit.

Meatloaf is great.

Collard greens and brussel sprouts remain disgusting though.

In the general reduction theme, for pure hickery, a ketchup reduction. If you want to get fancy, you can literally do a balsamic reduction and put it on meatloaf. You should hate yourself if you do this, though. It's really good. Actually you shouldn't hate yourself. You should just enjoy something delicious.

Wrong. Collard greens. Mustard greens. Turnip greens. They all have a bit of bitterness to them. And if you don't like that, you're gay.

Wait are we talking about meatloaf?

The main ingredients of meatloaf are meat, ketchup and Ritz crackers.

And the main sides are greens. You can get fancy but you probably shouldn't because it's meatloaf.

Green beans.

Brussel sprouts need to be well handled to be edible otherwise it tastes like ass. Tossing it in olive oil with salt and pepper and roasting it for 25 minutes at 400 should do it

My mom made "italian" meatloaf, she'd roll the meat out flat into a sheet, layer it with provolone, capicola, and a touch of "gravy" (red sauce) then roll it into a loaf and cook it in a bread pan, turned out pretty good.

Lesson learned today:

Ribs bought from commercial slaughterhouses come in a solution that drastically alters the smell of the ribs as they cook as well as not as drastically altering the flavor. They aren't necessarily bad, but you are better off buying from a local butcher.

Buy local.

I currently have a huge portion of Nikujaga (Japanese-style stew) in my slowcooker.

It should look like this once it's done.

Buying a slowcooker was one of the better decisions I've made in my life. It's just perfect for lazy/depressed days where I cannot motivate myself to cook properly.

 

[Titos]

Made Ranch Style Beans in my instantpot and they are delicious and were cheap as fuck to make.
-1lb of pinto beans
-a tsp of chili powder, dark chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cumin.
-3 cups of water and 3 cups of beef stock
-a few dashes of A1 sauce, Franks hot sauce, and El Yucateco habanero sauce
-A few dashes of molasses
-Pressure cook for around 45 minutes and let the pressure naturally release
-put in a burrito and top with a bunch of shredded cheese and hot sauce for a tasty burrito

I actually made some meatloaf recently! I almost never make meatloaf unless it's a Hungry Man night, but I had some beef defrosted, and I couldn't make burgers because my steamer is AWOL, and I didn't have enough cheese and sultanas for a Shepard's Pie. So... took a wild swing with meatloaf.

I did it with onions, Panko, Lea & Perrins, some jarred pasta sauce, and Major Grey's Mango Chutney. Being a meatloaf noob, I misjudged the amount of milk and it came out watery as hell - but after broiling off some moisture and using my imagination to pretend the rest was mango-flavoured gravy, it was actually pretty good!

Mmm, that looks like Curry Rice. What is in it?

Use one cup of milk per two pounds of hamburger.

If the mixture seems soupy, add in more Ritz crackers/Panko/whatever. It should feel like dough.

Don't understand the pasta sauce. Guess no ketchup? Lea and Perrins sounds fine tho.

No, no ketchup, the pasta sauce was indeed a substitute for that. The L&P was in the milk; the glaze on top was pasta sauce, sugar, and the Major Greys.

I actually really liked the glaze, tbh. I have no idea if anyone else would, but if you're bored and you've got some chutney lying around, give it a shot.

"Chutney" is a very unappetizing word.

Meatloaf:

1 chopped white onion
4 pounds of the leanest hamburger you can find
2 cups of ketchup
2 cups of milk
2 eggs
Whatever amount of crushed Ritz crackers it takes to feel like dough.

Meatloaf topping:

1 cup of ketchup
Whatever amount of brown sugar you want

Bake at 375 for an hour or until 160 degrees

Adjust recipe accordingly depending on size of meatloaf

Keto Pizza. The bread's actually really really nice, but only had like one slice out of this.

"Chutney" is a very unappetizing word.

But boy is it good.

 

[Solid Snek]

"Chutney" is a very unappetizing word.

It's Indian; every word they have is unappetizing:

Chaat
Saag
Paneer
Papadum
Aloo
Pani Puri / Gupchup
Barfee
Gulab Jamun

Chutney is good, though! Assuming you get one of the mango kinds that's popular in the West, and not, like, Brinjal Pickle or something.

I'm probably going to get banned for this, but

I don't like mango.
