We should title this “Cooking
Without A Recipe” It's so simple.
We are in the middle of a kitchen
remodel here, so cooking time has been reduced to the simple things. And since I am making all the cabinets myself, I have had zero time to plan and cook meals, let alone blog about them. But I am slowly "catching up."
Even with a limited kitchen, I will not GO OUT TO EAT. Have you read
the latest health reports on YOUR local restaurants?? Makes me cringe.
Anyway, lets, look in the freezer and
see what we have.
Oh, I like BRATS, and we have some
chili that we made a couple of weeks ago and froze.
Let's run to the store and get some
buns. And some beer.
It's time for a sub sandwich.
OK, we are back with the goods and the
brats and chili are thawed. Let's fire up the grill.
Start by grilling up the bratwurst.
When they are done, set them aside.
Put the chili in a pan and warm it up.
You don't need it hot as you're going to put these subs in the oven
later.
Cut the sub rolls down the center. I
always remove some of the breading in the center to make room for the
good stuff.
Now it gets easier. Cut the brats
length wise and lay them in the bun. Add some chili and anything else
you want. I used some chopped onions, and mushrooms.
Cover the whole mess with some
shredded mozzarella.(or cheddar) cheese. Wrap the puppies up in foil
and put them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
Have a beer and play with the doggie
After twenty minutes and two beers (drink fast) check the internal temp with your
handy dandy temperature thing.
(Thermo Pin - Every kitchen should have one)
When the temp is hot enough for you,
they are done.
Told you it was simple.
Served with a nice salad and a beer,
it made for a fine quick and simple dinner. (We served them with some potato salad we made earlier in the day)
See, even with a limited kitchen you
don't need to go out to eat.
Stay tuned for a couple of more things
we did in planning meals to have during out kitchen remodel.

Live long and prosper.
