Tonight this meat was served simply … with bread. The extra is going into my taquitos. And when you find out how easy all this is….
You know the diversity of this meat, tacos, burritos, tostadas, enchiladas, sandwiches, over rice or potatoes. It’s just a good recipe to know and this one is Easy.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family.
Absolutely Perfect, Thank You! Here’s my brother’s recipe if you haven’t tried this Traditional Portuguese Soup.
We had a wonderful time. Sopas Sunday.
Yes, the comments section is closed but I do receive your comments directly and respond if you have questions. This particular comment (received August 2023) details what many of us as children experienced. Enjoy the nostalgia! BTW, the beans are called tremocos in Portuguese Lupin in English.
“I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley and after church on Sunday we would go to this fiesta. There would always be a long line outside the back of the church going down to the basement, we would watch the parade with all the royalty girls with the beautiful dresses marching up to the church.They got to go down and eat first so we would stand in line and they always had places outside the church while you were waiting to go down where you could buy a soda or a cocktail and these beans (can’t remember the name of them but they had a casing and you’d pop the bean in your mouth and the casing would stay on your finger you threw that part away).Then when it was time to go down and eat you’d pick out a soda or drink for the adults and sit at these long tables with butcher paper on them. After about 15 minutes or so they would bring bowls of pickles then big bowls of stale french bread and then a big bowl of meat with the most amazing smell of spices and meat with lots of juice and cabbage, you’d get a piece of bread and spoon the meat, cabbage and juice onto the bread. It would make the stale bread soggy and yummy. It would just melt in your mouth and when it was all over you would leave offering on your way out if you chose to. My mother who is 84 still makes this for the family every year and it brings back so many wonderful memories. This recipe is the closest to what I remember it tasting like. Thank you for sharing it.”
You either like meatloaf or you don’t. Yes, despite good recipes you may still dislike meatloaf. The texture and the ingredients aren’t going to change much from recipe to recipe.
I took on a challenge when my brother confessed he didn’t like meatloaf. I bet I can make a meatloaf you’ll like. First, let me do some changes to our mother’s recipe … Too many onions I’ll bet, and the bell pepper chopped too coarse … The hamburger too fatty … No lean hamburger in those days. If your steer was fat so was your hamburger.
Meatloaf was a favorite of mine as a child especially with the mashed potatoes. Since my brother experienced the same and still didn’t like meatloaf…. Let’s see if he likes this!
Oops, a picture of this delicious Lemon Jello Cake (click for recipe) … Not ribs! The ribs are in the oven but this is today’s dessert. Yes, we have a celebration planned for Austin which includes food of course. Oven barbecued ribs and blender potatoes. And a huge green salad! Stay tuned. More Later Today!
This recipe is good for pork or beef ribs. Tender ribs with a tangy slightly spicy sauce are so succulent. No fuss oven barbecued ribs!
What is it that draws us to Beef Stew? For me it’s the blending of flavors and tender meat brought forth by long cooking. You’re going to be so pleasantly surprised at this recipe … Because after thirty minutes of cooking it tastes as if it has cooked all day.
This is what takes the longest … slicing and dicing all the veggies. But I have a shortcut for this too.
This meatloaf is two in one … Meatloaf or Meatballs. Easy recipe with few ingredients. I love to add marinara over the loaf before baking. And the marinara is a must for the cooking of the meatballs. All three recipes are included in a new video and also in this post.
These are hearty meals the family will love!
I’m not saying this meal will need the Ketchup I made for my last post but some just like my homemade ketchup.
Today I’m putting together a hearty man pleasin’ dinner everyone will enjoy. And I bet Dad won’t mind helping with the grilling on his brand new barbecue. So what’s on this menu?
Oven roasted sliced russet potatoes with parsley and garlic butter
Grilled marinated beef rib kabobs.
A Blast From The Past! Remembering the first time I made this is easy. Dan, my brother, arrived home after an exhausting football practice and was anything but happy about dinner. It was decades ago and casseroles were not a family favorite … And a tortilla dish with mushroom soup! I remember the pre-dinner discussion that day but forget the outcome. ‘Though I can tell you … This is one delicious tortilla dish! And with these delicious dress ups how can you go wrong. Yep Dan, that’s your fav hot sauce!
My recipe card now turning yellow around the edges states, Ropes Tortilla Dish. I’d like to give credit to my best high school friend’s family for this recipe but Margaret has yet to confirm. So, have I correctly labeled this recipe! Admittedly, the basic recipe is still intact but I have changed up ingredients and measurements. I like to think I’ve kept this recipe all these years, too many to admit, because it is my best friend’s family recipe … And delicious!
Perry can be an English surname … maybe you should use Pereira! But we have no information on the name change and everyone went by Perry. No one believes Steve Perry is English and we’re related! This was the conversation I had with my brother after he noticed Leonard Perry’s Recipe is being posted. How are we related to Steve Perry anyway? Dan went on. Our Grandmothers (my Grandmother Rose) were cousins. Of course, Aunt Lena. Why Aunt Lena? I have no idea. It’s all a little confusing. And the historians, those still with us, are at a loss.
How’s that for name dropping! But it’s all true! Now you know for sure our Perry recipes are authentic. I don’t believe you ever doubted. So, who’s Leonard? He’s my Grandmother Rose’s nephew. There you have it!
Okay, Kathryn and Sandra if you are out there I know you have some delicious recipes you’d like to share. Mary and Eleanor, too! I forgot Uncle Max’s daughters … I know you are excellent cooks. I wonder if anyone remembers how Uncle Tony’s brother prepared that huge octopus … Just curious more than interested in the recipe.
While you might find this a great substitute for the traditional corned beef and cabbage dish on St. Patrick’s Day, make no mistake, this is not an Irish dish. In fact, the cabbage in this recipe is the star and the meat is used as a garnish.
This was my mother-in-law Betty’s recipe … You know, passed on to me to make my husband very happy. Does this still happen today … mothers-in-law passing recipes to daughters-in-law? I enjoyed it! Her cooking was so different from all I had experienced.
As for my three sons, they are quite good cooks and occasionally they will ask for a recipe. Or better yet, share a recipe with me! In fact, Stephen, where is that barbecue ribs recipe you promised me?
Betty was amazing in the kitchen. I can’t say she was really into cooking all that much when I knew her. But she could put a few ingredients together quickly … I’d think to myself … hmm, really? It was always delicious!
I hope you will enjoy this soup recipe with brisket garnish.
