1# of ground chuck/1# of ground pork loin/Garden fresh bell peppers/homemade plumb tomato sauce from freezer stock/pepper jack cheese/diced onions/assorted herbs-spices.
Was a brisk and windy evening, but a warm dinner plate to bring up our body core temperatures.
Couldn't decide if a salad was going to be a prep or not so I elected to salamander broil some toasted corn tortillas with some jalapeno gooey-ness. A light sprinkle of pepper jack to theme the stuffed pepper ingredients.
Worked out quite well. We are suppose to be in the low 30's for the next 7 days. Thinking a Stew or Chili might work it's way into rotation. Cold weather = CROCK POT to us. Nothing like smelling something slow cook for hours, filling the house with yummy aroma.. Home Sweet Home.
