Sassy Fry Sauce

Once upon a time... Fry Sauce was created in Utah ... and only found in well... Utah. The traditional way to make it is with Ketchup and Mayo. Some like more Mayo others like more Ketchup. I ... like mine more sassy.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 C BBQ Sauce ( I use Sweet Baby Rays)
  • 1/4 C Ketchup (nothing special just Hines)
  • 1-2 C Mayo (Depending on how intense you like it)
  • 1 T Cajun Seasonings ( McCormik is good enough)

Mix the Ingredients together let sit for a little bit on the counter to wake up the spices in the Cajun Seasoning and serve with ... just about anything. Adding it to a Burger is delightful or a Chicken Sandwich. 

Tell me what you  think and post any different versions you make.

Quick & Light(er) Stuffed Bell Peppers


Stuffed Bell Peppers 
(Cook Time: 20-30min Prep Time: 10-15min Serves 6)
Ingredients: 
  • 2 lb's Ground Turkey or Ground Beef (97%)
  • 1/4 C Organic Quinoa (Pre-Washed)
  • 1/2 Lg Onion - Chopped
  • 1 Can Black Beans (drained)
  • 1 Can Diced Tomatoes (drained)
  • 1 Can 4oz Diced Green Chilis (drained)
  • 2 C Spinach
  • 1 Pkg Taco Seasonings (or more to taste) 
  • 6 Bell Peppers (any color) 
  • 1 C Cheese - Shredded

Directions:

Brown meat in a large skillet, before fully cooked add onion & Quinoa. 
Strain together Tomatoes, Beans and Chilies. Pour strained veggies into skillet add spinach and lightly toss till spinach is soft but not soggy. 
Strain mixture one more time and let set and drip. 

While mixture is sitting on low in skillet cut the tops off of the Bell Peppers, remove seeds and spines from inside. Even out the bottoms if you would like so they sit steady on a plate and do not tip over. 

Add mixture to Bell Peppers, place in greased baking dish and top Stuffed Peppers with Cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes. If the cheese does not have a crust to your liking broil for a few minutes while watching them so you do not burn the tops.
