I am so going to make this tomorrow!! How come I missed this thread? I thought y'all were talking about a tv show or something

I forgot one of the main ingredients that's creme de leite. You can find in mexican aisles. Lemme re-write the recipe:

- 2 lbs beef

- 1 can tomato paste,

- 1 clove garlic,

- 1 small onion,

- 2 tbsp ketchup

- 1 tbsp mustard

- 1 tbsp worcesteshire sauce

- 1 can sliced mushrooms

- 1 can whole mushrooms

- 1 tbsp corn starch

- chives, parsley, salt, pepper

- 1 tbsp olive oil (or cooking spray)

- 1 can of media crema (see picture)

Cut up meat into 1-inch pieces. Season with black pepper and salt (or beef bouillon).

Brown the garlic, chopped onion and beef with a tbsp of olive oil in a nonstick frying pan, medium heat.

Remove the remaining broth that comes from the meat, if any.

Let the beef cook in low heat

In a bowl mix the broth (if any, if there's none it's ok) with the tomato paste, ketchup, mustard, worcestershire, parsley, chives, 1 tbsp corn starch and the ''water'' of both cans of mushroom.

Bring back to pan with the beef. After it thickens turn it off and add the media crema.

After is done u assemble in a plate with white rice and finger potatoes.

Note: if you cannot find media crema, you can either use sour cream or table cream. I can't guarantee it'll be good, cuz i've never tried it, I think nothing can really substitute the taste of media crema.

since you guys gave up on this thread, I suggest we start another for pictures, independent of what we cook. and we can post the recipe also, but mainly for pics.

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

Well, if you pick an ingredient, I will cook it on the weekend and post a picture. Promised.

Dominate me

I haven't given up on the thread I just haven't remembered to take pics of the food I've cooked. If pineapple is the ingredient this week I won't be able to participate but will the next time.

[Nessa 23]

no pineapple. lets pic something easy for this week, like milk, or extract (can be vanilla or other)

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

Yay for milk

[Nessa 23]

[Amby 490]

I didn't eat all of that but I made it all. I actually didn't eat any of it. I picked loads of stuff from the garden and then went on a cooking frenzy.

[Nessa 23]

where is that recipe of mac and cheese, that i think marilyn posted once? I need to find the thread, but i don't remember the name.

[Amby 490]

what can I make with milk? a bowl of cereal?

[Nessa 23]

no idea what I'm gonna make. i wanted to make this ice cream type of thing that i used to make in brazil, but just for me, i don't know.

OMG! How did i miss this thread?! I love love love to cook. Got lots of pics of my finished product. I am trying out this RedStripe Beer chicken this weekend. I already have it seasoned and soaking in the beer. It smells so good and the chicken isnt even cooked! I will bake it tomorrow in my crock pot to slow cook it and let you all know how it turns out.
