What did you have for dinner? -Part dois

[Old 'N Chill]

Chicken salad sandwich on Italian bread, tomatoes on the side.

We had a huge salad with crispy chick peas and fries from the air fryer.

Another "breakfast for dinner!" New chorizo, egg, and green chili casserole.

So far, so good. But it doesnt look like the picture (altho I did alter the recipe a bit) and working with Mexican chorizo is messy, so greasy. I'm more used to cooking with Spanish chorizo...a very different animal.

I knew this going in. I skimmed as much fat (saturated fat) as I could from the chorizo but the meat breaks down completely. You know how ground beef clumps and browns? This doesnt...it just loosens and cooks. Releasing a ton of (saturated) fat. But so tasty!

But the chorizo is completely incorporated into the egg mixture, not separate like the peppers and onions. (The chorizo should be distinct pieces and the egg casserole should be yellow, not...salmon pink. )

It's very tasty and was supposed to be pretty healthy except for the chorizo. I thought I'd be able to separate out more of the fat. As it is, I'm afraid it's a heart attack in a casserole dish! Used minimal cheese except for topping and milk instead of cream. Lots of healthy peppers. Requires some "tweaking" for next time

I make my own chorizo with impossible burger. It is much leaner and it keeps its shape.

Have you ever tried using pepperoni instead of? I make it occasionally and it has beau coup flavor too.

I love pepperoni. It would be good in casseroles but it would also release a lot of that same orange grease (yum but trying to avoid).

I might try it tho.

That’s when paper towels come in handy.

I am thinking that store bought chorizo is mushy because of its exposure to the vinegar over a period of time.
Freshly made should give you better results.
Btw, I use apple cider vinegar.

Split appetizer sliders and fried cheese with my wife. Had some chips with salsa, as well. Kiddos got kiddie menu stuff. It was a fun dinner.

Chicken salad on Italian bread, Claussen spears on the side.

Turkey leftover overload all week. I'm so over it so tonight was chicken cordon blue, twice baked potatoes and roasted asparagus.

Lets contintue this great thread as the last one has approached 2000 posts....


Let me be the first to ask.... "What did YOU have for dinner?"

Pizza and Philly Cheese steak, order delivery for the Ball game.

 

[Lovebug]

We had extra spicy sprouted lentil stir fry with some rice. I still have steam coming out of my ears.

 

[gman]

Air fried ginger garlic marinated salmon, stuffed scallop shells, garlic butter roasted asparagus, water.

I had my big meal at noon today: beef stew, tossed salad, stuffed celery and a mandarin.

Tonight I'll probably have Lipton onion soup, some crackers and a banana. At least, that's the plan.

Tex-Mex meatloaf with salsa, queso, and roasted veggies. My wife did most of the prep. I didn't expect that salsa and queso would enhance the meatloaf that much.

Of course! It's like a great TACO pie. I used to do the same thing but Italian. Also excellent.
