My grandma made this spaghetti for years and it was my favorite growing up. Wanted to share.

I know certain ingredients will sound scary/gross/lazy (the soup) but holy cow don't knock it til you try it.

1 medium or large onion chopped (to your liking )
2T oil
1 lb Hamburger
1tsp salt
1/4th tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/3 tsp Tabasco sauce
1 can condensed mushroom soup
1 can condensed tomato soup
8 oz spaghetti

Cook onions in oil over medium-low heat until translucent. Add hamburger meat, turn heat to medium, and mix thoroughly. While the meat browns boil water for your pasta. Once the water is boiling break your 8oz of spaghetti in half and add to water (cook normally 10-12 minutes). When the meat is cooked through add all seasonings, Tabasco sauce, and soups. Lower heat to low stirring occasionally while pasta finishes boiling. When pasta is finished drain and add to meat saucr. After all ingredients are combined simmer for 45 min on low.

The simmer is key to this recipe. She got this from an old cook book and it is called Irish-Italian Spaghetti. Presumably named by someone unfamiliar with Irish cuisine and assuming all things pasta are instantly Italian. Still it is a shockingly delicious pasta recipes. Highly recommend.

Those who have a strong sensitivity to spice/heat be warned. If you like spicy food at all you will barely notice a kick though.

[Request] Recipes using a dark beer vinegar

Hey everyone! I bought a really nice dark beer vinegar however I realized foolishly that I don't know of any good way to use it other than with fish and chips like a malt vinegar or maybe as part of a marinade. You guys got any ideas for other ways to use such a vinegar?

Ma 'Karuni bil-Djaj Mishwi Taratur (Macaroni and Grilled chicken in Taratur Sauce)

Ingredients

Chicken

• 2 packages drumsticks (the ones i used had 5 each)
• salt
• pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons cumin
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce

• 3 cloves garlic, mashed
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup tahini
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 a bunch of parsley, chopped

Macaroni

• 1 lb macaroni noodles
• salt
• oil
• 1/2 onion, sliced in rings

Cooking

1. in a frying pan, add in the onion slices and very small amount of oil on very low heat. fry onions until golden browned and somewhat crisp (it was about 30 - 35 minutes for me). in a large bowl, combine the chicken and the salt, pepper, cumin, olive oil and garlic. after combining well, set in fridge for 2 hours or more (over night is best). grill chicken in a cast iron pan on high heat until chicken is cooked (juices run clear, 165+F in temp) or you can also place chicken in a foil covered baking tray/dish and place chicken under broiler in your oven until chicken is well grilled all over and chicken is cooked.
2. while chicken is cooking, make the sauce and the macaroni. in a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and mix well. place in fridge for at least one hour before use.
3. in a pot combine water, salt and oil and bring to a boil. once boiling, add macaroni noodles and boil for 5 minutes. turn heat off and cover with a lid and let sit for another 5 minutes. drain the noodles and and run cold water over them and lest the noodles cool for at least 5 - 10 minutes. return to the pot. take now removed from bone chicken and add in to the noodles. add in the taratur sauce and combine well. garnish with more chopped parsley.

• you can also serve this as a hot dish by timing the noodles and chicken (cook noodles at the last 10 minutes of the chicken cooking) and don't refrigerate sauce before use. also, if you do the hot version, mix in 2 tablespoons crushed feta cheese. I like to serve this with baba ganoush and fattoush.

Tired of Thin Layer Cakes – Here’s a Trick to Fix That! Yellow Layer Cake with Mini Chocolate Chips and English Toffee Bits

For those of you who prefer seeing photos with a recipe, I've included a link below.

I don’t know about other parts of the world, but the cake mixes in the States have been getting smaller and smaller – which is so wrong. I’d rather pay a bit more and have a nice, fat layer cake.. We have no control over what the stupid cake mix companies do, but luckily there’s a few things you can add to be sure your layer cakes come out bigger. (You may decide it’s just easier to make a cake from scratch – and that works too!)

Directions for a ‘Bigger and Better’ Layer Cake with Mini Chocolate Chips and English Toffee Bits

Oven at 350F Bake for 30 – 35 minutes Two greased 9” round cake pans

Dry Ingredients for ‘Add-In’ Batter

• 3/4 cup flour

• 1/4 cup brown sugar or granulated sugar ++ I used brown

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 2 pinches salt

Mix flour, sugar baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.

Liquid Ingredients for ‘Add-In’ Batter

• 1/2 cup water

• 1/4 cup oil

• 1 egg

Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients. Beat with mixer for about 30 seconds until well blended. Set bowl aside.

Mini Chocolate Chips and English Toffee Bits

Add chocolate chips and English Toffee Bits after ‘Add-In’ batter and cake mix batter have been prepared and mixed together.

• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

• 1/2 cup English Toffee Bits ++ I used ‘Heath’ Brand

• 1 Tbs. all purpose flour

Adding a bit of flour keeps chocolate chips and English Toffee Bits from sinking to the bottom of the cake!

Method

Mix mini chocolate chips, English Toffee Bits and flour in a small bowl. Set aside.

Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Mix in your Add-In batter and beat for 30 – 40 seconds, or until well blended.

Gently mix in ½ cup mini chocolate chips and ½ English Toffee Pieces which have been mixed with 1 Tb. flour.

Divide batter equally between two greased 9” round cake pans.

Bake at 350F for 30 – 35 minutes – or until toothpick or sharp knife inserted in center comes out clean. ++ Because of the ‘Add-In’ batter, your layers may take 3 – 5 minutes more time than usual.

Cool cakes on wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove cake from pans and cool completely before frosting. Enjoy!!

(I broke my ankle last night... soooo... I couldn't prepare my really delicious homemade chocolate frosting but I promise to post the recipe soon.)

Vegetarian Stroganoff

PLEASE NOTE: this recipe utilises Australian metric measurements - an Australian metric cup is 250ml, an American cup is 240ml, so, unless you're baking something precise, no conversion is necessary. It is advised, however, that you convert grams into whatever crazy nonsense measurement you use over in the US if you're not familiar with the metric system already.

Vegetarian Stroganoff

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

1 large onion, chopped

500 grams Portobello mushrooms, sliced (any type of mushroom will do if you can't get Portobellos)

¾ cups vegetable stock

¾ cup of white wine

1 ½ cups sour cream

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

225 grams dried egg noodles

Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring until softened. Turn the heat up to medium-high, and add sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are limp and browned.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles, and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside.
3. At the same time, and in the same skillet, stir in vegetable broth and wine, being sure to stir in any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil, and cook until the mixture has reduced by 1/3. Reduce heat to low.
4. Remove the pan from the heat, stir together the sour cream and flour; then blend into the mushrooms. Return the skillet to the burner and continue cooking over low heat, just until the sauce thickens. Add the parmesan and allow to melt through the sauce. Stir in the parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over cooked egg noodles.

Note: Make sure your mushrooms and onion are nice and browned before you add the broth and wine. If they're not browned, the sauce will look very white once you put in the sour cream. This doesn't really affect the taste, but the nice brown colour you expect really does add to the presentation. Additionally, this meal goes FANTASTICALLY with white wine, so if you're having guests over, or are an alcoholic like me, buy a nice bottle of white to put into the recipe, because you'll be left with most of a bottle of wine to drink over the course of the evening.

Best syrup/sugar for hot chocolate and mocha?

Hi everyone, what do you think is the best syrup/sugar for hot chocolate and mocha? I'd prefer something that only complement or enhance the chocolate flavor without having a distinctive taste itself, except for sweetness. So far I've tried vanilla and maple syrup and they don't quite meet that requirement. Thanks!

Usually, we have some sort of fruit course, a pastry/bread item, an egg dish (or two or three), some breakfast meats (sausage/bacon), my father-in-law's skillet potatoes, some sort of dessert, and a signature cocktail. Is anybody else doing something similar? I'm looking for some more unique ideas. My menu isn't frowned upon by any means, I just get tired of making the same stuff.

Last year was a berry salad with mint-infused simple syrup, bagels and flagels from scratch with plain and olive cream cheese, migas, bacon/sausage, previously-mentioned potatoes, coffee cake, and mimosas/bloody marys.

Low Carb No Sugar Carrot Cake Muffins

Low Carb No Sugar Carrot Cake Muffins, here is the full recipe!

Sensationally moist and nutty: These Carrot cake muffins are grain free, sugar free and packed with carrots. An absolutely guilt-free dessert. Author: Sugar Free Londoner Yields: 12 Ingredients

300g grated carrot 5 eggs 180g butter, softened 2 very ripe medium bananas 140g almonds, ground 20g flaxseed (if you don't have this, sub with more ground almond) 30g coconut, shredded 50g walnuts, chopped 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp mixed spice 2 tsp vanilla essence 1½ tsp stevia 100g cream cheese, full fat 

Method

Beat eggs, softened butter, bananas, stevia, and vanilla together. Add grated carrot, walnuts and coconut, then mix in ground almonds, flaxseed (if using), spices and baking powder. Pour into greased muffin tin. Bake at 180 Celsius for 30 minutes or until a fork pushed in, comes out clean. I use a silicone mould as I find they are the most helpful at getting muffins out in one piece. For the cream cheese frosting, stir in ½ tsp of stevia or sweetener of choice and add a couple of dashes of cinnamon. Spread onto the muffins once they have cooled.

If you don't like the taste of goat cheese, then I suggest you use cream cheese instead. In fact, the cake itself should be moist and sweet enough to not really need frosting if you don't want it.

Directions:

1. Beat your goat cheese or cream cheese until it is light and fluffy.

2. Add the peanut butter and honey, and beat the mixture again.

3. Finally, add the powdered sugar. This will change the consistency of the frosting. It will look glossier and be a bit runnier. Don't freak out. It's supposed to be this way.

4. If your cake is cool enough, top it with the icing. Then cut a slice and enjoy!

Double-Mashed Potatoes

I've always had problems with the consistency of my mashed potatoes, so I used Occam's razor to cut them this time around.

Ingredients

6 Potatoes 1/4 Cup (1/2 stick) Softened Butter 1/2 Cup, 1 pinch Salt 4 Tablespoons, 1 pinch Garlic 1 pinch Pepper 1 pinch Cumin 1 pinch Paprika

Process

1. Clean, peel, and dice all the potatoes. Separate into two equal groups.
2. Boil the first group of potatoes with a pinch of Salt, Garlic, Pepper, Cumin, and Paprika until the potatoes mash against the side of the pot with very little effort.
3. Strain the potatoes, mash thoroughly in a bowl with 4 Tablespoons Garlic and 1/4 Cup Softened Butter
4. Boil the second group of potatoes with 1/2 Cup Salt until the potatoes are soft enough to mash against the side of the pot, but still require effort to do so.
5. Strain the second group of potatoes, mash into bowl from before

The end result isn't overly salty, overly chunky, or overly creamy. In my books, that's perfect.

Ingredients:

• 5.5 oz goat cheese (about half a cup)
• 3 tbs peanut butter

If, however, you do like goat cheese and think this frosting could only add to the deliciousness of the cake, then proceed.

Directions:

1. Beat your goat cheese until it is light and fluffy.

2. Add the peanut butter and honey, and beat the mixture again.

Easily Cook Black Beans in a Slow Cooker

I'm always surprised that people still buy canned black beans when cooking your own black beans is so easy. Canned black beans tend to be high in sodium, whereas your own cooked beans can have little to no sodium, based on your preference.

Here's a simple recipe for cooking black beans in a slow cooker. This is particularly useful for those who work - the recipe requires minimal prep time and can cook over night or during the work day.

Step 1: Pour 8 ounces (or half a bag of a 1 pound bag) of dried black beans in the slow cooker insert.

Step 2: Rinse the black beans with water and discard any unusual objects or suspicious looking beans.

Step 3: Fill the slow cooker insert with water, roughly 3-4 inches of above the black beans. (The black beans will soak up the water as it cooks. It is better to have too much water than not enough).

Step 4: (optional) Add diced onions or jalapenos for more flavor.

Step 5: Place the slow cooker insert into the slow cooker holder and cover with lid. Set slow cooker to "low."

Step 6: Set timer for 7 hours

Also, this recipe works for any slow cooker - you don't need a built-in timer because you can use a cheap, light timer to accomplish the same task.

Char Siu Fried Rice -- Of course, that why we went there in the first place, right?

Char Siu Fried Rice

Char Siu Fried Rice is fried rice with BBQ-pork added in but that's really just a starting point. It's where you go from there that is important.

• 1 Tbsp. hot water

• 1 Tbsp. sesame oil

• 1 Tbsp. Shaoxing wine

• 1 Tbsp. soy sauce

• 1 tsp. dark soy sauce

• 1/4 tsp. white pepper

• 4 cups cooked Jasmine rice

• 1 Tbsp. oil

• 1 medium onion, diced

• 1 Tbsp. garlic

• 1/2 Tbsp. peas

• 1/2 Tbsp. carrots

• 1 pound Chinese BBQ pork (cha siu)

• 1 tsp. salt

• 2 eggs, scrambled

Start by combining the hot water, sesame oil, shaoxing wine, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and white pepper in a small bowl. This is the sauce that you'll be adding to the rice, and it's much easier to have it combined and ready to go before you start cooking.

With the wok over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and cook the onions until translucent then add garlic. Then stir in the roast pork. Add the tablespoon of carrots and peas. Add the rice and mix well.

Add the sauce mixture and salt and mix with a scooping motion until the rice is evenly coated with sauce.

Toss in your eggs and scallions.

Serve immediately.

Getting good sausages. What are your favorite toppings/sides?

I have tomorrow off work. I want to make sausages for my girlfriend and roommate. So I am going to try out a well known meat market here in chicago (Paulina Meat Market). They make their own, and change it up regularly.

My question to you fine people, is what are your favorite condiments, toppings, sides and whatnot for a good ol fashion sausage on a bun? Depending on what they have, it could be sausage, lamb, beef, who knows?

Bring on the slaws, sauces, caramelized veg, or whatever! I won't say no to a well made product, but I am looking to make as much as I can myself.

[Request] Simple but shockingly delicious recipes

Hey there, I'm looking for recipes that are simple and easy to make yet delicious... perhaps surprisingly delicious!

Some examples would be Gordon Ramsay's broccoli soup or spaghetti aglio e olio. I've also noticed that a lot of dishes from high-end restaurants seem to be simple in this way.

I'm looking for that sort of simple to deliciousness ratio, but nothing difficult or requiring uncommon equipment since I don't really know how to cook :).
