GF made some philly cheesesteak ones the other night. Had all the fixins inside. Was pretty damn tasty.

Damn, thats a good one. I really love stuffed bellpeps. They are really good the traditional way with ground beef and tomato sauce.

Bell peppers don't need no stinking tomato product of any kind.

Hmmm, not sure that it would cook evenly but maybe so.

They would work well with Italian sausage. To go different, I would cook wild rice, and italian sausage, celery, onion, garlic and salt pepper and oregano. Maybe a little tomato.

Another option. Thinly cut strips of beef, sauteed with onion, water chestnuts and corn starch thickened soy sauce. Maybe some rice noodles.

I like chili grind ground beef. You can do it at home if you have a meat grinder, or ask if you can find a meat counter with a butcher. IMO chili needs fat for flavor. You can always skim the fat away after it cooks.

If you are going slow, there is no need to sautee the onions, since they will cook a long time with the beef.

You'll need cumin, chili powder, garlic, both red and black pepper, salt and oregano. Classic chili uses suet.

I like lots of cumin in my chili

I make my chili without Tomatoes or beans. IF you use them it is fine with me and I would eat it made that way.

Competition chili is usually pepper hot, I can do that, but it is not my favorite way. I usually add some Masa flower toward the end because I like the gravy it makes.


This would work in a crock pot

I knew a guy who did chuck roast, cubed up in small cubes. it was nice.

Always wanted to make it in a crock pot with stew meat and cook it until the stew meat went to pieces.

Try mixing prepared shrimp or crawsish étouffée with cooked rice and fill peppers.
