In the Kitchen with Gram...Chili Beef Mozzarella!

My Gram told me about a little pizza joint we used to have in town, my mama worked there, actually, and she (my Gram) and her friends would sometimes go there on their lunch breaks and order this dish called "Chili Beef Mozzarella".


She reminisced about how delicious it was, and that the pizza joint closed shop and packed up their shingle and disappeared, leaving no one with the recipe to this delicious dish.

So, she suggested she and I try to recreate it. She experimented first, and I'll tell you where/what you could change things up for your preference!

But let me first tell you this: These buggers are TASTY! In fact, I'm lying here in bed, uncomfortably full from our meal of them tonight...I think I ate too much! *burp* Oops, excuse me.

Okay, so you'll need either some leftover chili or a fresh batch of chili. (Gram's Chili recipe here.)


For the filling, you'll need to brown some hamburger and onion:



Add some enchilada sauce:



And some green chilies:



And, some cheese, which I neglected to take photos of because I still don't have the hang of this whole food blogging thing. Yes, I am a Cotton-Headed Ninnymuggins. (Also, we added too much sauce initially, so we drained some out, which is why this looks so soupy and the next photo so...well, UN-soupy.)



Now, put a spoonful of filling mixture on a flour tortilla:




And roll them up.



Place a small amount of chili in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish, then lay your tortilla rolls in the pan:



Cover with the remaining chili:



Then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake until heated through and the cheese is melted:


Serve 'em up and listen to your hungry family rave!




The second best thing about these (the first being their incredible deliciousness)? Holy easy, batman.


Oh my...yum.

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized!
