CHOW!

Last night i threw together this meal & i couldn't decide, was it soup? stroganaff? stew? food?

No, it was chow like the chowline from M.A.S.H., you know?

I'm sick so i can't really smell which makes cooking not very fun actually, but i still gotta eat & i had thawed this brick of ground beef while i tried to nap off my viruses..

So here's what i did:

Browned the beef with one chopped onion & 3 cloves garlic

Added 1 can tomato paste & a can of clam chowder (B/C i had no cream of whatever soup)

like a quart of water oh yeah & as the beef was cooking i rinsed like 2 cups of yellow moong dahl (little tiny lentils from the indian market--nice b/c they cook fast)

I threw those in with a buncha frozen broccoli, corn & some sundried tomatoes.

Seasoned w salt, oregano, fresh Rosemary i'd picked on my walk earlier outta someones yard

um...lotsa salt & pepper and of course, cayenne pepper so i could taste something!

Was it Mexican? Italian? Who cares..Cheap homey food I can eat all week:)

I ate it with a corn tortilla. Chow down!
