Fire and Brimstone Mexican Meatball Stew
Posted: February 5th, 2011, 8:10 pm
Hi all!
It's a cold sunny day here in Alaska so I thought a good LDL approved stew would be in order. At first I thought it would just be called Mexican Meatball Stew, but, heh,heh..., I added a little too much chili powder, so I changed the name. *evil*
Pretty hot , but oh-so-good!![thumbsup :thumbsup:](./images/smilies/thumbsup.png)
Here it is: :
A little over a pound of leanest ground beef I could find
3/4 big yellow onion,sliced
small amount garlic
quarter head of cabbage, cut up
1 can rinsed yellow hominey ( has never stalled my weight). Substitute gabanzo beans , if you'd like
1 can rinsed black-eyed peas
1 can ranch beans with sauce (very low sugar)
1/2 bag frozen green peas
1 small can mild chopped green chilis
1 bag fresh baby spinach/spring salad mix
3 small cans lowest sugar tomato sauce
3 tablespoons beef bullion granules
about 4 cups water (add more if needed)
more spicy seasonings*
* cilantro- fresh is much better, but I didn't have it on hand today. I encourage use of fresh whenever possible
Chef's Blend (brand)
cajun blend
fresh ground peppercorns
mesquite
chili powder ( watch it!)
I don't use seasonings with MSG
I added spicy seasonings, including chili powder (go easy!
) to make small meatballs. Added a little salt to taste. Sauteed meatballs with onions and garlic in a little evoo. Stirred in rest of ingredients including additional seasonings, and simmered for about 30 minutes. Makes a big pot of thick stew-like soup.
Just had a bowl topped with parmesan cheese.
Will even be better tomorrow!
Think I'll have another bowl.![tongue :tongue:](./images/smilies/tongue.png)
