I
admit that bare-chested cowboys in jeans drive me nuts! Recently
slave got to purchase a charity calendar from Men of HomoRodeo.com:
“Cowboy Sunsets”. One of the very sweet models and members named
“Gator” inscribed his picture for me. Bestill my beating heart!
The
IGRA (International Gay Rodeo Association) not only promotes,
in a
positive way, the LGBTQ country western lifestyle. It is a charitable
organization that helps local communities and actively works for the
humane treatment of all animals.
So
Gator: this casserole is dedicated just to you and your wonderful
organization!
Ingredients:
1
lbs. Very lean ground beef, browned and well drained
16
oz can whole corn drained or fresh if you have it
15
oz can red kidney beans no salt added and drained
1
can diced tomatoes drained
2
stalks celery diced small
1
small onion chopped
1
small green pepper diced small
10¾oz.
can reduced salt condensed tomato soup
2
Tbs reduced salt Worcestershire sauce or a low salt soy sauce will
work.
½
cup reduced-fat grated Cheddar cheese
1
tube of biscuits
2
Tbs melted butter or margarine
¼
cup yellow corn meal
Directions:
pre-heat
oven to 350 and spray a baking dish big enough to hold the
biscuits.
NOTE:
if you have any of the browned ground beef left from any of the
dishes made before – thaw that and use. That way you can skip the
next step.
Brown
the ground beef while you dice the green pepper and chop the onion.
Add that as it cooks.
Everything
gets drained:
The
kidney beans, corn, tomatoes and esp. the ground beef! You should
even pat it dry with paper towels.
In
a large bowl mix the corn, kidney beans and the tomatoes.
In
a medium bowl stir together the soup and the Worcestershire sauce.
Optional
- tailor the taste:
Adjust
with salt and pepper.
If
your cowboy likes chilli – add ½ teaspoon of chilli powder.
Maybe
a dash of hot sauce.
If
he is more of a spaghetti western type of guy, try oregano.
If
he is more into continental cuisine, use Herbes de Provence.
Or
how about some sage?
IMPORTANT:
use discretion..a little goes as long way. Stick to ½ teaspoon
of whichever you pick. You can always add at the table but you can't
take any away.
Then
blend this into the meat-vegetable mixture. Spoon this into the
sprayed baking dish.
Sprinkle
the grated cheese on top. Bake for about 30 minutes and remove for
the next step.
Now,
on a piece of wax paper on the counter, take out and separate each of
the 10 biscuits. Put the yellow corn meal in a shallow dish and have
the melted butter in a small dish next to it.
Dip
each raw biscuit into the melted butter, then into the corn meal and
place on top of the cheese mixture in baking dish. Continue until the
dish is covered with the biscuits.
Return
to the oven for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned. Remove and
let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to your favorite hungry
cowboys!
Warning:
latter you guys just might wind up in your own private rodeo!
Mercy!
...or should slave say: “Whoop-tee-do!” ;-)
