  1. Made this for ZWT5 - Cooks with Dirty Faces Team. All in all, the combination of ingredients and flavour is good, and mostly they're pantry staples which is great. For that reason, I'll certainly try this again. I followed the directions exactly as written, it's definitely a nice quick recipe. I had to sub kidney beans for the pinto, just what I had on hand. I found that the onions were not fully cooked in the amount of time indicated, so next time I would saute the onions first, and let them turn translucent before adding the beef. Or do the beef and veg seperately as the other reviewer mentioned. I would also add fresh garlic. The family is going to dine on this tonight with leftover, "Recipe #371137". Ole! Made for ZWT5 (Cooks with Dirty Faces Team)
     
  2. This was very good. I substituted skirt steak as that is what I had on hand, and left out the zucchini. I sauteed the onions first before adding the meat and pepper, otherwise, followed the recipe. Very easy to throw together and will make again. Made for ZWT5 '09 for a fellow Hell's Kitchen Angel team mate.
     
  3. This got mixed reviews - partly my fault because I used poblanos (instead of green bell peppers) from the farmstand & they were hotter than supermarket poblanos! *I* thought they were spectacular but mom's not so keen on spice, lol. She also wanted me to leave out the beans - too bad! I used leftover corn scraped off the cob, too. :) This was fast & easy. I stir fried the beef & removed it to a dish then stir fried the veggies & mixed it all together (space in the pan issues). I skipped the rice because there was already beans & corn in the recipe. A great meal! Made for the Aussie Swap 8/08.

Live 1 hour north of Sydney, Australia with my husband, Steve. We both work in Sydney, where I work in the Human Resources department of a charity doing IT work. I barely pick up cookbooks these days, as I cook almost exclusively out of Recipezaar - DH loves the quality & variety of recipes we have now. I've met some lovely people through Zaar in person & in the forums. When I was in Toronto, Canada in October 2007, I had the thrill of meeting & having dinner with ~Leslie~, AnnieCan and Irmagard and their DHs for dinner. This was a fabulous night & everyone was so lovely & welcoming. <IMG src="http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/heydarl/Photos/IMG_0956.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j10/housedaughter/fg.jpg" border="0" alt="F and G Swap"> <img src="http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j10/housedaughter/hiswap.jpg" border="0" alt="H and I"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/homepage/ZWT4-CuisinePorter.gif"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/590105/ff-zwt4.jpg"> <img src="http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/Swap14.JPG"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view¤t=thetassiedevilsbanner.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/thetassiedevilsbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/RecipeSwap2.JPG" width=75%> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif"> <img src="http://members.aol.com/sdnt4life/floozies.jpg">
