As everyone indicated, it isn’t a food safety concern, just affects the texture. I appreciate the help guys ... even those that want me in pain and living in the bathroom. who knows ... maybe i’ll open a restaurant. Go ahead and say it ... “Yes Chef." YES CHEF ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have ever tried it? I guess like anything else (almost) it could be fine, I think the corn thing threw me off. Never tried to many chowders but there not far off from some popular things here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was eating lunch with a couple of my Portuguese cousins and we had a good laugh about how all the food we ate growing up was red. Tomatoes or tomato sauce went in everything ... and yes, i still put Ketchup on stuff with tomato sauce (spaghetti, lasagna, etc...). I remember being a teenager and my Mom threatened to give me a bowl of ketchup and a loaf of bread for dinner ... I was so excited! After I was adopted (age 9), the new family soon got used to my love for the stuff. actually, i was not a picky eater ... the only things that i never liked were liver, yogurt, and cottage cheese ... oh yeah, and Okra.

That explains alot of things, but really ketchup on something with tomato sauce already on it might be a little too much for me. I have to say I really do like alot of ketchup with some things and I usually add salt and pepper at least to the ketchup.And I have to say I have had it just on bread when I was hungry and needed to eat something fast and didn't have time. But I do eat almost anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making beef barely soup isn’t that hard. If you want it to taste more like the Campbells beef barely soup finish it off by adding tomato paste. The tomato gives it both the appearance and the flavor of their signature soup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Try this Mr Crock Pot: Find a nice sized roast somewhere, a bag of redskin potatoes, bag of baby carrots, couple cans of Campbell's mushroom soup and 1 12 oz. can of coke. Throw in the roast, 2 cans of mushroom soup and 12 oz can of Coke (only Coke, no diet stuff) and fire it up on high for about 2 hours. Halve the taters (as many as you want) and toss the carrots in at that point for an hour or so, turn it down to low until the taters n carrots are done. Don't EVEN question the Coke either. There won't be any left. YES CHEF! (ketchup if you want it) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Trust me it's the real deal. When I first tried it I couldn't believe I was doing it. Now it's my #1 go to for a roast. Try it and enjoy. BOTH my daughters thought I was nuts. Problem was there wasn't any left for me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I was just thinking a few minutes ago how I want some pork chops. I will go buy them if my brother cooks. but, then I remember that he is nuts about gravy and often cooks meat in a cream of mushroom or some other thick brown.gravy. Often I'll just pass, but if I'm hungry, I'll go for the ketchup to give it some color. I actually had a pork chop once that had lemon juice on it (after cooking) and the lemon went well with the pork chop according to my taste buds. While my brother is a gravy fan, I love sauces like A1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 } Not actually cooking but I have three slabs of baby backs on the smoker - for Christmas Eve. Now I am cooking Hibachi style on Christmas Eve Day for a party of 40. That’s why I’m smoking bones today — 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 you guys make me question the way I was raised. Until my 9th birthday (when I was adopted and shipped away), I was living with my Portuguese side of my family. Of course Grandma and Grandpa and the Aunt's & Uncles were pretty hardcore Old Country people. When I returned to the Bay Area (early 20s), I was at my grandma's house. I was craving fried chicken and decided to try to make it. My grandma comes into the kitchen, cane in one hand, a $20 bill in the other and telling me to go buy myself a dress. She actually seemed angry that I was cooking (instead of my girlfriend). My girlfriend used to get mad at my uncle because if he got up, I'd ask him bring me a beer when he came back. He'd say, "you know if you married a Portugee gal, she'd bring you another beer before you finished the current one." I thought it was funny ... she didn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it seems just as you said, all of that does exactly sound like typical "old school" people even if not Portuguese, not bad just old school. I thought you were going to say she wanted you to have a better chance at fried chicken if went and bought some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do no wrong in my Grandma's eyes. When I was a little one, she used to sit me on her lap and say, "Little BigStewMan, someday those guys on the Klipsch forum will say things about you ... don't believe them -- you're a national treasure for two countries!" 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Good job...Abit like art in that almost anything goes in cooking it seems. Just a little secret have kept to myself... ketchup. Use it in all my red sauce pasta recipes and chili... tends to mellow it and imparts a nice thicki g agent when added near the last. No watery for me, thanks 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
