That's a Good lookin dish Bill! Enjoy. The Weather here on the shores of Lake Erie has been olmost all rain. all winter. Drives Me nuts as I hat the MUD! The easiest winter in My seventy years. only started My snow blower one time. I fully expect the winds aloft to shift next year and then We will be buried with snow once again. Stay warm.

Re: Comfort food a dark, wet day
One of my best buds in college had a recipe that we all took to. It didn't have a name until we all agreed on Dave's Gastronomic Bean Delight
1# ground beef
Cooked bacon( as much as you like), diced
5 or 6 cans of assorted beans
My personal recipe is red kidney, black beans, garbanzo, pinto, blackeyed peas.
BBQ sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
Lemon juice or vinegar
Any spice or herb you like( all spice and savory I use)
Cook the beef and bacon, add to all the beans to large pot with remaining ingredients, simmer a couple hours and enjoy.
30 years since I first had this and still enjoy it every time I make it.
Oh, don't use DRY beans, we found that copious amounts of gut wrenching gas was the norm!

.45Colt: winter and spring mud was one reason I left Oregon. Gets real tiresome.
Will, the secret to using dry beans, which I prefer these days, is the overnight soak with a pinch of baking soda. It greatly reduces the amount of raffinose sugar responsible for gas issues.

Re: Comfort food a dark, wet day
I have to agree with you. This weather has been tiresome. Storm after storm and every other one has been violent. Up to my eyeballs in wind/ hail claims and still cleaning up from the small tornados that have touched down in the western counties..45colt wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 7:43 am That's a Good lookin dish Bill!

Re: Comfort food a dark, wet day
It does look quite good.
I think my favorite comfort food is beef roast, potatoes, carrots, and corn nibblers, with white bread muffins. I cook the roast and vegetables in the crockpot, salt and pepper on the meat, but other wise bland. I like salt on my food when it's served.
For a snack I like old fashioned oatmeal with stewed apples on top in about a 50% ratio. With bacon on the side and fresh biscuits. My wife's stewed apples are amazing. We use gala applied when we can get them.

I hadn't thought of stewed apples in years.

Same here Will.
Re: Comfort food a dark, wet day
1 pound of dried beans soaked overnight. Drain in the morning. Put in slow cooker in the morning. Add 1 or 2 or even 3 links smoked sausage cut into rounds. No thicker than 1/4 inch. Add a can of Ro-Tel. 3 tablespoonfuls of chili powder. Add half to 1 well diced onion. Garlic to taste. Fill with water and turn on for 8 hours. Add 1 cup quinoa at the 8 hour mark and cook for 1 more hour. Serve with cornbread. Great for a rainy day.
