CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS RECIPE
2 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
Pinch of sugar
1/3 cup frozen butter
1 cup or more of milk
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Garlic butter:
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Oven to 400.
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder and sugar to a large bowl. With a fork, your hands or a pastry cutter mix in butter until butter is pea sized.
Add in cheese and then milk.
Drop dough in big spoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 12-15 minutes, until golden. Brush with butter sauce and serve immediately.
DIRTY RICE:
1 lb hamburger meat
1 lb ground pork sausage
4 cups cooked rice
2 cups broth, I used better than bouillon chicken
1.5 cup mixed onions and bell peppers chopped
1 tbsp veg oil
1/4 cup flour
1 tbsp oregano
3 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp thyme
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt, more to taste
Pinch of cayenne pepper
In a large skillet add oil and then ground meats. Once the meats begin to brown add in onions and peppers.
As soon as meat is fully browned add in seasonings. Next add in flour, stirring well. Add in broth and simmer 5-7 minutes.
Add in rice and simmer another 5 minutes or so. Enjoy!
Green beans:
I use fresh french green beans. I boil them until they are soft, about 3-4 minutes. I run them under cold water in a colander. I then add them to a sizzling hot cast iron skillet with some olive oil and season with some sazon’ and once they get a nice sear I add a little tiny spat of some onion flavored better than bouillon and add some chopped bacon if you want. Easy with the bouillon it is salty. Sometimes I leave it out altogether.
