What did you have for dinner? -Part dois

Bundled up and made our first 2 pizzas in our new outdoor pizza oven. One 12" inch mushroom and one 16" Margherita, Seaglass Pinot Noir. Took 20 minutes to heat the oven and 1 minute to bake each. Nice char on the bottom and perfect texture. Will be trying out steak and fish during the week.
do you have an ooni by any chance?
intrigued by these pizza specific ovens
 
Yep. The Koda 16 gas powered.
thanks for getting back to me
i will be following your posts as you become well acquainted with it
having a difficult time getting my kamado to exceed 650 F
it's not cost or time -effective to bake for just a couple of pizzas
 
We had some leftover garlic broccoli, added some potatoes, onions, cream of mushroom soup, topped it with cheese that needed some attention, baked it until bubbly. Very filling. Tonight might just be an apple or so.
 
It's Ash Wednesday. The church did a soup and cornbread meal in keeping with the penitential season.

Taco Soup
2 lb ground meat
1 onion, chopped
2 green bell pepper, chopped
1-3 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 large can crushed tomatoes, undrained
1 can corn with red and green bell peppers, drained
2 can black beans, kidney beans, or one of each, drained
1 can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, undrained
½ cup chili sauce
1 package ranch dressing mix
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 can beer
S&P
Brown the ground meat in a dutchoven over medium heat.
Push meat to the side and soften onion and peppers in the liquid.
Add the tomatoes, corn, beans, ranch mix, taco seasoning, and chili sauce.
Cook 2-3 hours over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Add beer and adjust seasonings.

Mix ground beef and ground pork or sausage.
The corn with peppers is a nice touch, but regular corn is fine.
Ranch dressing mix is dried onion, dried garlic, dried parsley, salt, and starch. 1-2 tsp each of onion powder and garlic powder will do the trick. You will add the salt later.
This recipe cries for chipotle peppers. Mince one pepper and a spoonful of the adobo sauce. Add with the seasonings. Still use 1-2 fresh jalapenos at the beginning.
If chili sauce is not available, use 1/3 cup of ketchup, 1 Tbsp vinegar, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp chili powder, and a dash of clove. Chili sauce also contains onion and garlic, but you have enough already.
Instead of a dutch oven, this is ideal for a slow cooker. Brown the meat and soften the onions and peppers in a skillet, then put everything but the beer in the crockpot. Cook for 30 minutes on high, then reduce to low for the rest of the time.
The recipe scales up for a large group, like a church dinner.
