Fruity Sausage

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

Hillshire Farm makes some great products that I’ve cooked with and enjoyed for years, so when they contacted us here at Digital Dads and asked us if we would be interested in trying some of their sausage and sharing it with our readers how could we say no?

Kielbasa is an interesting meat that can be used in a variety of situations from breakfast to dinner. If you didn’t read Chances breakfast recipe you should, but be warned it’ll make you hungry. We were sent two packages of Kielbasa and a cookbook that I can’t wait to try some new recipes out of. We thought it would be fun for Chance and I both to share a recipe and then let you win some sausage. (really not meant to be as dirty as it sounds!)

Here is my recipe for a quick, easy and tasty supper that is a breeze to make any day of the week. It is a little weird and a little different, but you can keep the ingredients on hand and whip it up when you suddenly have soccer practice and no time for anything else.

Fruity Sausage

Ingredients

  • 2 packages Kielbasa
  • 2 Large cans of Fruit Cocktail in heavy syrup
  • 2 Boil In The Bag Brown Rice

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Cut the Kielbasa into bite size chunks and place into a large frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Cook until heated all the way through
  3. Drain out as much of the fat as you can
  4. Place the sausage back into the fry pan and pour in the two cans of fruit cocktail
  5. Heat all the way through until the fruit is hot
  6. Make the rice as instructed on the packaging
  7. Place a few large scoops or rice on the plate and spoon over the fruity sausage mixture
  8. The rice won’t be good left over, but the sausage and fruit will reheat just fine on it’s own

We want YOU to get something out of this in addition to 2 great recipes, so Hillshire Farm has agreed to give away a year supply of sausage to one lucky reader. This contest is open to US residents only and don’t worry about the size of your freezer, you’ll be getting coupons from the company rather then a stack of meat.

You can enter the contest one of two ways. Either rename this recipe for me since I had to make up one for this post OR post your favorite Kielbasa recipe in the comment field below and then I’ll pick a winner and announce it here on the site.

7 Can Chili Recipe

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Ok guys, time to get in the kitchen again. Don’t freak out, this is so easy that anyone can make it and the end results will be well worth it. I promise.

While I’m all about using fresh ingredients whenever possible, there are times when canned good will do the trick and this super simple chili recipe works great for a weekday dinner or a football game tailgate.

It is NFL Playoff time so you need a recipe that you can put together without any thought and eat when you are ready. So today I give you:

Superbowl Chili

7 Can Chili

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lbs Ground Beef or Bison
  • 1 large can Tomato Sauce
  • 1  can Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 can Dark Red Kidney Beans
  • 1 can Light Red Kidney Beans
  • 1 can Black Beans
  • 2 cans Corn
  • 2 packages Chili Seasoning
  • Beer, Tequila & BBQ Sauce to taste

Instructions

  1. In your largest pot (a dutch oven is perfect) brown the meat until fully cooked. Drain the fat.
  2. Add the tomatoes and sauce
  3. Drain the beans and corn and add to the pot
  4. Add chili seasoning
  5. Stir and cook over medium low heat until hot
  6. I like to put a healthy squirt of BBQ Sauce, a pour of beer and a shot of a tequila into the mix as well, but they are all completely optional

The great thing about this recipe is that anyone can make it and it works as a great base of a recipe that can be tweaked and added to as you see fit. I often will make it in the morning and let it sit on low heat until later in the day when we are ready to eat.

Best of all is that the left overs work great on nachos or baked potatoes. Yummy all around!

Soggy Saturday Wings

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

It doesn’t matter if it is poker night with the boys or a Sunday during the football season. At the end of the day, wings are always a great idea for a meal. Even if you don’t know how to cook, this is so easy you won’t be scared to make it.

Anyone can order takeout or dump some buffalo wing sauce on chicken, so I wanted to share with you the easiest wing recipe I’ve ever used. As I type this I’ve got a platter of them cooking in the oven while my Miami Dolphins play on the television.

Soggy Saturday Wings

Soggy Saturday Wings

  • 25 – 30 Wings (1 large package from the meat counter)
  • 2 Cups Brown Sugar
  • 2 Cups Ketchup
  • 4 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 10 Dashes Hot Sauce
  1. If whole wings, cut at the joint and discard the tips
  2. Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl
  3. Dip each wing in the mix and place on a baking sheet
  4. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the wings
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 90 minutes

That is all there is too it. One little secret I’ll let you in on is that they are even better warmed up the second day. For some reason the sauce thickens and actually gets sweeter. So bake a big batch of them the night before the big game and warm up while watching.

And guess what? They taste even better when you eat them watching the Dolphins beat the Jets like I just did!
