From 50 Chowders by Jason White.

Potato Chowder with Cheddar Cheese

4 oz. slab bacon, rind removed and cut into 1/3-inch dice
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 large onion, cut into 3/4-inch dice
3 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
1 tsp. Coleman's dry English mustard
1-1/2 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch dice
3 cups chicken stock
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
Freshly ground black pepper
Kosher or sea salt
6 oz. Vermont or other sharp white Cheddar cheese
Tabasco sauce, optional
Garnish: 4 scallions, thinly sliced

Heat a 3-4 quart heavy stockpot over low heat and add the bacon. Once it has rendered a few tablespoons of fat, increase the heat to medium and cook until the bacon is crisp and golden brown. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat, leaving the bacon in the pot.

Add the butter, onion, and sage, and saute, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, for about 6-8 minutes, until the onion is tender, but not browned. Stir in the dry mustard and cook for one minute more.

Add the potatoes and stock, turn up the heat, cover, and boil vigorously for about 12 minutes or until the potatoes are tender on the outside, but still firm in the center. Use the back of your spoon to smach a bit of the potatoes against the side of the pot. Cook for 2 minutes more to release their starch.

Remove the chowder from the heat and stir in the cream. Season with pepper, then underseason with a little bit of salt, as the cheese will add more salt when it is added later. If you are not serving the chowder within the hour, let it cool a bit, then chill. Cover the chowder after it has cooled completely. Otherwise let it sit at room temperature for up to an hour, allowing the flavors to meld.

When ready to serve, reheat the chowder over low heat until it is hot, but has not reached a simmer. Gradually stir in the Cheddar cheese and continue to stir constantly until all the cheese has melted into the velvety broth. Taste the chowder and season with the hot sauce, if desired. Let it come to just a summer, then immediately remove from heat.. Don't let it boil. Ladle into cups or bowls and sprinkle with the chopped chives. Make about 7 cups, serves 6 as a first course.

*trying this tonight!  ** we tried this 11/11/11...good but too thin for our tastes.  The consistency is more like an old fashioned oyster stew..lots of milk!  We will be fiddling with the proprotions of this, and trying it again with less milk.  The taste is wonderful.

You know, this is the first time I've checked out the 'Recipe Exchange' forum!  
  I love bean stews, I am going to try this one today!  Is this your own recipe?  I ask because I'm pretty much incapable of boiling water without a recipe to follow.  
  I always admire people who come up with their own.

Hi Betsy!

I think the Pinto Bean Stew originally came from Taste of Home, but I don't remember. It's pretty good stuff! The Corn and Pepper Chowder may be from a Sara Moulton Live cooking show back when she was on the Food network. That is excellent....you're going to love that one!

I find recipes that I want to try, but then add a little of this and a little of that. Sometimes it works better than others.

PAPA'S CHILI -

This is a recipe my Dad got from a cook when he was in the Army in WWII. It's the chili I grew up on and the only chili I'll eat!
 
The measurements are 'guidelines'. I never measure anything (sorry!). I just dump some in my cupped palm and say, 'Yea, that looks about right'. But, I have been making this for close to 50 years. I can do it blind-folded! You will have to adjust according to your preference and method of measuring, but the measurements I listed are pretty accurate.


This is an easy recipe because everything goes in the pot at once (except the last two items) and it takes about 1 1/2 hours from beginning to end to make.

If I listed a brand name, please, don't substitute if at all possible. It changes the flavor. If you grow your own tomatoes, you can use them instead of canned tomatoes from the store - just be sure they are very ripe, then blanch and skin them before adding them to the pot. 

Ingredients:

 
3 - 5 lbs ground chuck (I always use 5 lbs - what the hell is chili without gr. chuck?)
 
3 medium onions diced (I love onions and they 'fill the pot' and give it more consistency)
 
1 large green pepper diced (Yuk! I hate these damned things, so I only put one in. You can add more if you like 'em)
 
3 - 4 ribs celery diced (Again, like the onions, I use more - 4 - 5 ribs. You can't really taste them, but they add flavor and consistency - and I chop up leaves and all)
 
1 tsp All Spice (This is one of the 'flavorful' spices. I probably toss in 1 1/2 tsp)
 
1 tsp Cumin (Same as the Allspice. I add a little more than a tsp for flavor, but don't over do it. Cumin can be over-powering)
 
1 tsp Crushed red pepper (Yup! I toss in a bit more than a tsp cuz chili is s'posed to taste like chili, not gravey with spaghetti)
 
1 tsp Oregano (this is about right. Dump some in the palm of your hand and if it looks right, put it in)
 
1/2 tsp Celery Salt (I add more than 1/2 tsp for the flavor - but then I cut back on the plain table salt because it ain't no good for ya)
 
1 tsp Salt (adjust according to how much celery salt you put in)
 
2 tsp Black pepper (This is a good amount - give or take)
 
2 oz McCORMICK'S Chili powder (If you can't find McCormick's, I will email you some! LOL Other chili powders just don't taste the same! Add a little less your first time and determine how 'hot' you like it. You can always sprinkle some directly in your bowl at the table and stir it in. Play with it til you get the right amount. I like it spicy so it tastes like chili)
 
1 bottle chili sauce (Bennet's is first choice, but it's hard to find anymore. Heinz is the 2nd runner up, then Del Monte. (Do NOT use Kroger - or any 'generic' - chili sauce. It is wayyy to sweet and ruins the whole batch of chili)
 
1 Tbsp Kitchen Bouquet gravy enhancer (I just tip the bottle over and pour a good shot in the pot. I probably add more like 4 Tbsp)
 
2 small cans Joan of Arc dark red kidney beans (I sometimes puree these before I add them so you don't have to chew on those little rubbery globs, but if you like beans, leave them whole. Be sure to rinse the good red juice out of the bottom of the can for more flavor).
 
1 28 0z can crushed tomatoes (Use plain tomatoes, not Mexican or Italian seasoned ones. I also dump them in a bowl first and cut and chop them a bit more because I don't like getting a big wad of cooked tomato in my mouth)
 
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
 
3/4 lb. thin spaghetti (cooked separately until almost done. It will finish cooking in the chili and absorb the juice and flavor as it simmers a bit on the stove - maybe another 15 - 20 minutes? I have recently been adding the uncooked spaghetti right to the pot after everything else has cooked a while and letting it simmer til done. I find the starch helps to thicken it a bit and I use one less pot!)
 
Flour and water rue mixture for thickening ( Mix this to the consistency of thin pancake batter and add just enough to give the chili a slight thickening - kinda like a real thin gravey. You don't want to make it too thick because the starch from the spaghetti and sitting over night will thicken it. You can always add water to thin it a bit they next day)
 
 
Directions:
 
In large 'soup pot', boil ground chuck in 2 qts water or enough to cover the meat by an inch or so. You can add water later if you need to. (do not brown the gr. chuck).  Stir until broken up and cooked. (I crumble the raw ground chuck into the water so it's easier to break up while cooking).
 
Add all ingredients (except flour and water thickening and spaghetti - add spaghetti to the pot at the very end) and cook on medium until vegetables are tender (about 45 minutes?). Stir frequently and adjust temperature to simmer as needed.
 
Add small amount flour/water mixture to give it a slight consistency.


Serve hot with saltine crackers and lots 'n lots of sweet iced tea!
 
My sister sprinkles Parmesan cheese on hers, but I don't care for it. (Dad would have a ****-fit! He always called Parmesean "stink-cheese"!)
 
I sometimes add a can of mushrooms, but that's not in the original recipe. (Don't tell Dad!)


You can also use venison instead of the ground chuck. I've used turkey, but it tasted a bit bland.

If you have any questions, send me a PM.
 
Let me know how it turns out!

CHICKEN GLAZE  (could be used on pork also)

I was roasting some chicken thighs the other night and wanted to put 'something' on them, but didn't have any BBQ sauce or anything. I started looking through through the pantry and cabinets and Came up with a glaze that is AWESOME! It almost has an Asian Zing taste to it!

I don't have exact measurements because I just through some stuff in a bowl, but here it is:

Honey - maybe 1/4 cup?

Dark Brown Sugar - About 4 rounded Tablespoons?

Mace - just a pinch (maybe  1/8 teaspoon - that stuff is potent)

Tabasco Sauce - several good splashes (maybe a teaspoon?

I zapped it in the microwave for about 20 seconds to melt the honey and sugar, then stirred it to blend. I brushed it over the thighs when they were about half cooked. Fifteen minutes later, turned them over and brushed the other side and backed 10 minutes more. Then I flipped them back over and put one last coat on them and let the roast 5 more minutes.and let them cook another 15 minutes. 

About 30 minutes prior to roasting the thighs, I injected them with chicken broth and let them sit (covered) at room temperature. They turned out wonderful! Golden brown and crispy on the outside and perfectly juicy on the inside! I served it with sweet potatoes and fresh green beans.
