This was cooked in the slow cooker. But of course it can be made in the Instant Pot or other appliances also. In the IP I would cook this under high pressure for an hour.

Ingredients:
bag with 15 kinds of beans (or others if you prefer)
Cajun seasoning
3 stalks celery
bag of pre sliced carrots
onion
3 red potatoes
3 cloves garlic
pack diced ham
1 1/2 cartons of vegetable broth

It’s so easy! Chop and dice up all your veggies, dump everything into the slow cooker and let it cook for about 6-8 hours on low. Enjoy!

Chili Con Carne

This dish was entirely made in my electric skillet.
I know everyone has their own version of chili con carne and opinions on what should or shouldn’t be in it, so this is my version!

Ingredients:
​2 lbs ground beef
4 strips thick cut bacon, I used applewood smoked
1 small can tomato paste
a medium sized can fire roasted tomatoes
cup of ketchup
medium sized can Lima beans
medium sized can black beans
medium sized can dark red kidney beans
2 bell peppers; I used one green and one yellow
onion
3 cloves garlic
6 chili powder
ground cumin
red pepper flakes
​paprika
Mrs Dash garlic and herbs
cup of water
2 pouches Uncle Ben’s jasmine Ready Rice

First I sliced up the bacon strips in smaller strips and fried those half way done in the skillet, then added the ground beef and browned it until it was close to being done. Then I added the garlic, bell peppers and onion diced.
Once that had cooked for a few minutes I added the spices: 6 chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes to taste, Mrs Dash and paprika. Add the cans of beans, tomato paste fire roasted tomatoes, ketchup and water and give it a good stir, then put the lid on the skillet and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Add the rice, stir well, turn the heat off and let sit for five minutes, serve and eat! Enjoy!

Couple things for you guys today: as previously mentioned, I'm no longer cooking from the truck, and instead of truck food I'll be posting BBQ methods and tips primarily. As such, I'm re-christening Grape Ape Cantina to Big Bear BBQ (bears are my fav animal and I collect them if you wonder about the background ). Now, one to the food!
Making some soup beans in the crockpot today. Here's my recipe:
1) Sort, wash in a colander, soak a lb of beans overnight in enough water to cover by an inch or two
2) In the am, rinse them if you want to (I never do) then add the following: 1 stick of butter, 1/2 lb of smoked pork neck bones, garlic, onion, cilantro, pepper (all 3 to taste), and some liquid smoke.
3) Low for 6 hours stirring occasionally. Last hour or so pull the neck bones, strip the little bits of meat off and toss it back in the pot, then add 2 tablespoons or Ma Se Ca yellow corn flour and stir WELL with a wisk.
Enjoy!
