CONNIE'S RECIPE BOX

I have been a recipe collector and have way too many cookbooks and pages torn from magazines! I am on a quest to organize, clean out and simplify my recipes and to get back to an organized meal planning and preparation system! Recipes on this blog will have to pass the "taste test" of my family and will need to be fairly simple to make and of reasonable expense. There is also a desire to use whole grain foods and other long term food storage items!

FAULATAS

FAULATAS
from Aunt Glenna Foote

3-4 lbs beef or roast
1 medium green bell pepper, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
4 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 10 oz. can chopped green chilies
2-4 cups cooked beans

1. Place meat, spices, bell pepper, onion, green chilies in crockpot and cook 6-8 hours-- all day or overnight. Add a little liquid /water as it cooks to keep from going dry and burning.

2. Add cooked beans 1-2 hours before serving. 

VARIATION #1: Eat as soup.

VARIATION #2: Mash the beans and thicken. Use mixture to make burritos, or on Nachos. 

VARIATION #3:  Leave out the beans for a low carb meal.
