My mom makes a killer beef stroganoff, but my favorite recipe is called supli, similar to arancine but made with rice, tomato paste, Parmesan, onions, and ground chicken livers (and other ingredients) rolled into balls and bread crumbs and fried.

In between. The top is baked and the bottom is moist and thick. The egg and long macoroni make it great.

Add bacon and roasted jalapeno to that Mac and cheese.

My Mom is a great cook. She's got lots of bests from family meals to fancier dishes, soups, apps, desserts. She's the reason why I have an interest in cooking and restaurants. My Dad handles beef meats and fried seafoods, usually. He also makes biscuits and beignets. He usually made breakfast growing up.

One my favorite apps she makes is the crab and spinach timbale with buerre blanc sauce from the Inn at Little Washington, but her way.
They're cooking something nearly everyday if they don't go out. She was cooking all day today for some event my BIL is having tomorrow. She's 82. He's 86. I'm very very lucky.

My mother's best is simple pressure cooker beef stew.

You salt and pepper the beef chunks, dust with flour, then brown the hell out of it in a little oil. Brown and brown some more.

Then you add chopped onions and water to cover. Cook on 11 PSI for about 20 minutes. Release pressure. Add peeled red potatoes, cover again and cook 10 minutes. Release pressure again, then add carrots chopped in 1 1/2 to 2 inch lengths. Cover and cook about 8 minutes more.

Release pressure. Open the top. Take out all the chunky parts. Add salt and pepper if needed, a flour slurry and maybe a little Kitchen Bouquet to darken.

Once you've got the gravy thickened the way you want, add the meat, potatoes and carrots back to the pot to coat.

Serve over cooked rice.

Awesome thread. I made one two years ago at a tailgate with my grandmother. We were in the kitchen all day. Hers is more of a tomato based. We stuffed heads all day (about 500). It was a good time.

I say we round up all the moms (and dads) and have them make all of these recipes and then have a giant FDB party

The favorite thing that my paternal grandma use to cook she called a beef meat spaghetti. It was spaghetti made with 7 steaks....... shes still living but she doesnt remember how she cooked it. I ask twice a year to try and jog her memory but she cant remember.

He's the best poster on this board.

But maybe we should stick to the same old tired bullshite about, who had the best boudin; tomatoes in gumbo; tomatoes in jambalaya; okra in jambalaya; Cane's sucks; chains suck; people that have eaten fast food in the last decade are trashy; how to boil crawfish; how much are crawfish; how do you make gumbo; reverse sear; big green eggs; and pho.


As I sit here typing, I think mom's shrimp spaghetti is her best dish. That probably has everything to do with me wanting shrimp spaghetti right now. Check back in a couple hours when the answer might be smothered chicken.

Where you from Artie?

Its funny you say Shrimp Spaghetti. When me and wife (fiance at the time)mived in together she called me at work to see what I wanted for supper. I told her a shrimp spaghetti. She told me she didnt know how to cook that and that had never even heard of shrimp spaghetti and she from the next town over. I love a good shrimp spaghetti, its even better with a little smoked sausage in it.
