  1. I've fixed this twice now. The first time, I think I may have added way to much cayenne. The next time, the correct amounts. This is wonderful with a blander meat, but since it does have a "kick", probably not a spicy meat. I'm making it yet again, and every time I make it, I tend to eat most of it from the pan before I even get a chance to serve it. It's a new favorite.
     
  2. I made this to serve with Stuffed Peppers and we enjoyed it. The spiciness was a nice addition to cabbage. I also loved the fact no oil is used so it is low cal & low fat! I will be making this recipe again. Thank you for sharing your recipe. =) *reviewed for Spring 2007 Pick A Chef*
     
  3. I make this all the time with dried minced onion, garlic power and a small amount of sugar or sugar substitute.
     
  4. yum, yum - made with pinto beans & cornbread. Used the garlic salt & red pepper flakes. Delicious!

Thank you to my good friend for this premium membership as a wonderful birthday gift. I grew up a military brat and managed to eat many various foods, but being very young then, I now am experiencing those foods at an age that I can appreciate them. Being a nurse, I have a busy work schedule and like to find recipes that produce great tastes to share with friends but don't take alot of time. With a warm, humid climate in NC, I look for lite foods or things to grill. One can only eat sooo many salads though. Texture is VERY important. I have learned to eat meat med-rare, but nothing "gooshy or slimy"! Some day I will master homemade biscuits and moms meatloaf. I already have the enchilada sauce down pat and am finding many more here.
