Bacon Wrapped Dates:
Ingredients: (adjust for the amount of people you have, usually plan on 2-3 per person)
Whole Pitted Dates
Roasted Pecan Halves
Uncured Bacon (raw) sliced in 1/2 or 1/3 to fit around date
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400
Place a pecan piece inside each date. Wrap date in a piece of bacon and secure with a tooth pick Place on parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes (start checking them when it gets close). The bacon should be cooked and crisp-ish. Serve Hot!
Beanless Chili:
2 lbs lean ground beef
1 large steak cut into chunks (or stew meat)
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 can diced tomatoes and chilies
1 small can tomatillo salsa (in the Mexican food aisle)
large onion diced
1/8 cup almond flour (this is optional for thickening, omit if you have a nut allergy)
about 2 cups of beef broth
3 cloves garlic minced or about
2 tsp garlic 1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbs ground cumin
3-4 tbs chili powder
olive oil
Put about 2 tbs olive oil in a pan and get it screaming hot. Sear the chunks of steak in batches (don’t crowd or it won’t brown). It doesn’t have to be cooked at this point, just brown and pull it out. Add a little more oil if needed and add diced onion to kind of brown a bit. Add the beef stock and let it cook until it is reduced by half (this gives a really meaty base). Add in ground beef and almond flour. Stir until it browns a bit. Add garlic, spices, tomatoes, and steak chunks. Simmer on low heat for a couple of hours.
