I cook way too much. Before I went to work today started a basic beef stew in the crock pot. Beef (pot roast), red potatoes, two yellow onions, baby carrots, mushrooms (unsliced).. Seasoned with salt, pepper, rosemary, oregano, tarragon, thyme, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, parsley... cooking for 10 hours in Shiner, water, liquid smoke, and worschershire(sp).

Cooked this a few weeks ago: Pasta/Basil/Marjoram in a white wine sauce with chicken over spinach with grape tomatos and goat cheese.

Some more Thanksgiving style stuff ive written up before.

Mashed Potato's..
Russet Potato's
1 Yam/Sweet Potato
(if possible, a few red potato's)
Garlic Clove
Sour Creme
Milk (Butter also if you want)

Peel like 5-10 cloves of garlic depending how much taters you are making.. if its for 10-15 people id suggest more like 10-15 cloves of garlic. Wrap in tinfoil and put in your oven (I assume it will already be on.. if its only on like 200 degrees, try to get this in a good 20-30 minutes before u even start potatos')

Peel the russet & yam's and chop up into 2" pieces, will help boil faster/softer. If you bought red potatoes also, do not peel , chop in half.

Boil until soft.. fork should go through easily..

Pull out garlic and chop up.

Once fully cooked drain water and leave taters in the pot.. add in a few pieces of butter, a few good scoops of sour creme, the chopped garlic, and a few splashes of milk. Salt & Pepper. Either use an egg beater or a potato smasher to start mixing it up. If it is not creamy enough add in a little more milk/sour creme. Taste - you may want to add a little more salt... (but don't oversalt!)



Green Beans

Get a bunch of cans/frozen bags of fresh cut green beans
Salt Pork (looks like bacon but in a package about half the length)
Sliced almonds

Before cooking, chop up the salt pork into small bits.. you will need a pretty sharp knife but this will make it better. Toss the salt pork into a pan to cook on medium heat.. Defrost the beans or open the cans.. Once the salt pork starts to brown, you will probably want to drain some of the grease (there will probably be a lot, but leave some, it helps flavor the beans.) Add in the beans to the grease & salt pork pieces and saute for a bit to heat up. Then add the almond slices and saute some more. You probably wont need to salt this anymore, but try it and season as needed. I would suggest some red pepper for a little spice (not flakes!).


Stuffing (will need a rack in oven)

Few bags of stuffing mix (id get like one bag thats regular, and one bag thats cornbread).
Sausage - Spicy, Andoille, or Maple (i havent tried maple but id think it would be really good, normally go with italian/spicy).
One yellow Onion
Celery
Dried Cranberry
(Apple if you want, I forgot to add this last time i made it but would be good)
Sliced Almonds
4+ cans chicken broth
Cinnamon & Nutmeg

Chop up the Celery and Yellow Onion. (also apple if you get one)

If you bought sausage with skin, cut it off, otherwise, toss it in a pan with a bit of olive oil on medium. once sausage has gotten mostly cooked through toss in your onions.. once its nearly cooked add in your celery. Saute a bit more then add in your dried cranberries and almonds. Salt, pepper, red pepper, garlic powder, and not too much cinnamon and nutmeg or it will be too overpowering. Once all done, put on a plate into fridge to cool. (add apple also if you use one)

Pour bags of stuffing into a big bowl/pot. Once cool add in the sausage stuff and mix it all up. Pour in about half a can of chicken broth at a time until the entirety of the stuffing is fairly moist. Put into a cooking pan and back into the oven for 45-hour. If your oven is only @ 200 or so.. probably longer.



Candy Carrots.

Slice up candy carrots into thin slices or use baby carrots. Put a stick or two of butter into a pot/high walled pan and melt. Put in carrots and saute on low for 20-30 minutes or so. Then add sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon until the taste is good.

I cook most days. Except when I'm poopsocking I'll quickly warmup some boca burgers or somethin.

Nothing I make usually is too amazing, just a giant omelette.. or a giant salad... or uh.. tuna salad.

However, on special occasions, I make a killer baked ziti.

Cowboy Burgers - Great for a party:

Another Recipe great for a bunch of people *Cowboy Burgers*



What you need:
Burger Beef (2 lbs will feed 4-8 people depending on whose eating)
Cilantro
Jalapeno's or Serrano's
Chedder Cheese
Yellow Onion
Garlic
Bacon
A couple packages of Hawaiin Rolls (they are small butter rolls, come in an orange package probably near the bakery)
Mushrooms

Slice up the bacon into little pieces and start cooking it. You are just precooking this, so do not cook fully to a crisp. Cook it until the little chunks start to curl around on the edges and shrink a bit, then pull off the heat.

Chop up some Cilantro, you wont need the whole bushel, maybe 1/4th of the bushel if you are using 2lbs of meat.

Chop up a few serrano's or jalapeno's.

Chop up half or so yellow onion if using 2lbs of meat.

Chop up some garlic.

Mix the 2 lbs burger meat, onions, cilanto, serranos, garlic, cheese, and bacon up. Add in some worchershire sauce if you have any, also add salt and pepper.

Make the patties into small "slider" style burgers. You will want to make them about the same size as the Hawaiin Rolls.

These cooked in the oven come out just as well as on the grill, so a grill isnt necessary. Either put all the patties on a plate and grill them, or put them on a pan and toss them in the oven at 350.

While the patties are cooking in the oven, chop up the mushrooms and toss them in a pan with some butter and garlic powder. Simmer them on low until they are tasty then just keep them warm until the burgers are ready.

Pull out burgers, toss patties into hawiian rolls, add some mushrooms on top, SCARF!

You can easily make fries or whatever else too as a side.

Pretty much learning by the day. I've always liked cooking basic stuff but I moved in with a Sous Chef who was pretty talented. Learned a lot from him in the 3 months he was a living person before getting sucked into WoW every second of his life.

I cook a lot more complicated things than the recipes I posted, those are just stuff I shipped off to my bro in college.
