What's for dinner tonight?

[MacGydro]

Street Tacos. There were 3, but one of them mysteriously vanished before the picture was taken

Damnit man, why you always making me want to cook late at night? Can't you post last night's dinners early the next day, for inspiration instead?
I love beef tacos, chicken tacos, pork tacos, fish tacos...

Almost as much as...



Lol

Fast and easy...

Damn, you guys are making me crave "meat in tubed form" as Anthony Bourdain would say, RIP... No homo lol

I've been wondering what I'd make for a pre sleep snack, and I just may be able to scrounge up a similar delicacy, if I feel like braving the heartburn...

Oh, GMC, or anyone else with insight, what's your secret to properly frying a pan of potatoes like that? Always seems like they're too oiled to properly brown when I try them in that quantity. Most restaurants too, apparently, as they never seem properly golden either.

no picture , textovision lol

BBQ chicken and baked beans
macaroni and garlic with olive oil and butter mixed in


yuumy


god damnit I’m hungry now

 

[MacGydro]

LOL!! I just mentioned the Coney dog idea to my girl, and she was like "I dunno if we have chili, but we have beans"... To which I replied "who the hell ever heard of bean dogs??"

No smart ass retorts about franks and beans, please!

Heavy bottomed pan that holds heat well, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the potatoes and keep the heat up. Cold oil makes greasy soggy potatoes. Also, cut the potatoes small or in disc's to maximize the surface area to volume ratio so they cook through and brown at the same speed. Add onions or other aromatics halfway through so they don't burn.

My other trick that I didn't do tonight is to par boil the potatoes pieces then drop them in the hot oil. The par boil draws the starch to the surface which then crisps up when they fry... more surface area, more crispy bits...

If you wanna really go balls deep, you can soak the potatoes pieces in diluted vinegar then let them air dry in the fridge overnight then fry them...

Oh man these are great with dog's or Anything
Amazon product

Thanks! Dig the detailed info. There's an art to properly done potatoes!

Btw, no chili in the cabinet, and I stand firm on my "no bean dog" policy. Now I either have to make chili, or settle for plain ass dogs and fries... Decisions, decisions...

Walmart for 99 cents, that was just faster to get a link ....
I don't do the zon for beans ?

 

[MacGydro]

Alright, I guess we're a little drunk and munchy, so the experiments will commence...
Dogs, check...
Ground beef, check...
Gonna mix some chili beans and seasining in too, and see what we can come up with... And cheese, of course...
Gluttony imminent, and heart burn be damned...

I would of took a picture of a can here but Bandit is in the bathroom with the beans and she is sleeping, so I just did that...

That's good to hear, and way more worth it! The Zon link came up to like $35 for 12 came, which seemed high

Better to let sleeping dogs lie... Especially with partial bean cans lol

That's a whole 'nother story... We can open that can of "best beans and franks recipes" discussion up next... Feel free to lead the way...I trust you!

Here's my dad's recipe that I still use... buy a pack of the cheapest hotdogs and chop em up into a can of B&M beans (the ones with the big chunk of pork fat in them)... heat and eat. Preferably served with a cold beer after a fat doob.

 

[MacGydro]

That sounds fekkin delicious...

My project is in the works, and I just may have found the secret to making "no bean chili sauce".... Beans lol

Sauteed some onions, added chili beans, and mashed them with a potato masher, and cooked for a few.

Set those aside, and cooked ground beef with taco/chili seasoning.

Mixed everything back together with more chili seasoning, cumin, and salt, because it still needed it. Now it's looking like a lot of "Coney sauce" I'm used to seeing. Taste test still withstanding...
