Football Bacon Beans

I made this recipe Sunday for the first games of football.  It was really cheap and fed a whole group of people with leftovers for a few days.  It’s the ultimate “Combine Everything and Put it on Low” recipe that frees you up to do other things while you are waiting for it to cook.

Street Tacos

I’ve been hooked watching Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. There was an episode he did in Mexico that featured a small roadside cart that was whipping up tons of these street tacos.  After watching it, I was craving these little snacks of goodness. They really are extremely easy to make and very cheap. I got about 3 days worth of food, heavy eating mind you, for about $20, which is alot cheaper than going to a fast food place. You can also swap out the beef for chicken if you like.

Karađorđeva Šnicla

(Карађорђева шницла) is a Serbian breaded cutlet dish named after the Serbian Prince Karadjordje. It is a rolled veal or pork steak, stuffed with kajmak and bacon, and breaded and baked (or fried). It is usually served with roasted potatoes and tartar sauce.

The steak is a modern invention, created by chef Mića Stojanović in 1959 who, when needed to prepare Chicken Kiev for a distinguished visitor from Russia, was faced with lack of poultry. He used veal instead of chicken. However, not fully satisfied with the result, he poured tartar sauce over it, and decorated it with a slice of lemon and pieces of tomato, which at the end resembled Karadjordje’s star decoration, and thus was the steak named. The dish is sometimes called jokingly “maidens’ dream” (devojački san), because of its phallic shape.

Lancashire Hotpot

This is the traditional Lancashire Hotpot, which is a stewed dish made popular by working class families. It was something that could be made up cheaply, using tough cuts of lamb or beef and left to stew all day to soften up the cuts and make them palatable.
