[Fightinaggies]

Sorry for the delay Travis! Actually it was the best tortilla soup I have ever had. I made a few modifications like I added tomato boullion with chicken flavor to the water as well as put a little bit more water then reccomended. I also used the extra hot rotel. It was AWESOME!!!! Thanks for a great recipe Travis!!!!! Here's the pics of the process.


















You guys have got to try this!!!!

Hey Travis,

How do you do pork chops?

Thanks,

[mesquitecountry]

mostly either lightly battered and panfried with a little oil.

Batter of flour, seasoning salt, and bread crumbs.

Or barbecued and slathered in bbq sauce.

Dude!

The 30 minute Red Beans and Rice........Phenominal!

Ok, so I tricked it up just a fuzz. Bein a student of Emeril (I'm a food network nerd), I rolled with a half a green bell pepper diced, and an equal amount of celery diced, along with half a red onion diced.(The Trinity). I started the sautee a couple minutes early on the pepper and celery before the onion. Then proceeded as prescribed an added some diced cilantro sometime between adding the sausage and rice. And I used brown rice because my wife prefers it.

I might have used one more can of beans if I'd had it to make up for the added veggies(drained though, unlike the 1st two cans), as the liquid was perfect but I like beans.


My wife is from Louisianna, and has spent plenty of time in New Orleans, and she LOVED IT!

Another winner......Thanks Travis.


How bout some MC Dirty Rice????

Hey Travis,

How do you do pork chops?

Thanks,

Barrett

if i may butt in

pork works well with italian seasoning, (think italian sausage) wether you maranade in italian salad dressing or use a dry italian seasoning, they both are good...

[mesquitecountry]

Great suggestion Billy!
