Very easy: Per pound of ground beef, add 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can beans, 1 can white corn (drained; I prefer frozen); 1 jar your favorite salsa. Brown and drain the beef, drain the beans if want, bring everything to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Tasty stuff.

Rolling with this tonight. The local store doesn't carry ****all for salsa so I got Newmans black bean and corn :doh: I thought it was just black bean salsa. Hopefully it doesn't suck.

I rarely eat bread of any kind at home. We never have a loaf of bread lying around unless I buy lunch meat, which isn't that often. I will have bread if I order a sandwich when we go out.

My waistline thanks me for giving up the bread.

Ti's true. Let a piece sit in a bowl moistened with water and watch it swell up.

Now, post a pic of those Six-Pack abs.

Not really. There's a specific brand that I can only find in my Winn Dixie - it's this roasted garlic artisan style loaf. Love the stuff. They also make s kickass baguette.

I make my own periodically. It's a slow fermented white bread the rises in the fridge over the course of a few days. Super crusty, and just very good tasting. It makes a helluva toast for eggs.

If you let it go for four or five days it will start to turn into sourdough. I don't generally let it go that long. Best flavor, IMO, is three.

That's a pretty good description, actually.

There used to be a great website that listed who made Aldi products. It was quite interesting to see who made products for them.

Wish I could find that site did a search with no success. You can find excellent products and some that you never buy again. The pasta sauces I have been happy with so far.
