miracle soup

tonight, i guess you would say i had "cooker's block". i just could not figure out what i wanted to cook and i have a fear of wasting food.. so i used the "use what you've got" method with my hands over my eyes . so i threw in a bunch of different things that were somewhat familiar to one another and i called it:

miracle soup: miracle soup because it was going to be a miracle if it actually turned out good! and it did, so that's why i'm sharing my made-up recipe, otherwise you wouldn't know anything about it... 

miracle soup

what you need:

1 lbs. ground beef

1 lbs.  (add as much as you like) pork sausage ( links )

1 can Hormel chili ( no beans ) unless you like beans

1 can Rotel tomatoes

1 pkg. taco seasoning

a pinch or two of cayenne pepper

a few shakes of ground onion flakes

a few sprinkles of Tony's cajun seasoning

salt and pepper

1 can water ( use the Rotel tomatoes can)

here's what i did:

first, brown ground beef in large skillet

add half of your pkg. of taco seasoning and onion flakes and stir

add (cut-up)pork sausage; brown also

in a medium boiler add:

can of chili

can of rotel

the remaining half of taco seasoning pkg.

cayenne pepper

salt and pepper

Tony's cajun seasoning

water

bring to a good simmer then add ground beef and pork sausage to boiler

cover then serve

ta-daaaa!

optional:

i thought a topping would make it look pretty so i crushed up a good 

handful of tortilla chips and topped that off with a good sprinkle of shredded cheese. 

i so overused the word good.

but it's good!
