The kids finally talked me into doing "American Food" for International night. On Trevin's suggestion we went with Buffalo burgers and grilled up some mushrooms and onions to go on the burgers. Ironically enough, I didn't care for the buffalo. Not too disappointing since it cost $6.49 a pound! I did some research looking for cowboy type recipes and settled on Cowboy Beans. They were delicious. The recipe is as follows....
Cowboy Beans
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 sweet bell pepper, diced
3 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 can baked beans
1 can Great Northern Beans
1/4 cup ketchup or catsup, whichever spelling you prefer ;0
1/4 cup Heinz 57 sauce
1 TBL packed brown sugar
1 tsp worcestershire
Brown first 4 ingredients, drain. Reduce heat to medium low and stir in remaining ingredients. Simmer for 15 minutes or until dinner is ready to serve.
That's it; super easy! Warning.... this makes quite a bit so it's good for family bbq's or gatherings. To finish the meal off we had grilled asparagus and homemade potato chips. It was fun, but I'm looking forward to exploring international cuisine again next week. Anyone want to make a suggestion as to a region or country? ~THosha
Some family trees have beautiful leaves, and some have just a bunch of nuts. Remember, it is the nuts that make the tree worth shaking
How about Russian or there abouts. Borgs anyone (not sure of the spelling). I love that you are doing this for the family. Way fun., oh I just had a thought. Why not sit down with the kids and ask them to write down specific places or regions that they would like to see or visit. Then put those in a jar, pick one for each week. just a thought. love bunches,
