SXSWern Soup Recipe

A Texas Trifecta 

Since Austin is home to one of the largest conferences in the world, we pay tribute to SXSW with our favorite Southwestern-inspired soup.

Great Things Come In 3s

Interactive, Film and Music are to SXSW as food, design and landscape are to Home Style Austin. This recipe? Turkey gets spiced up with its 3 tastiest BFFs: Black beans, corn and roasted red pepper. The end result? It’ll have your tummy doin’ the Texas 2-step, er, 3-step!

Foodie Tips:

• Roast your red pepper on the grill or gas stove top by placing the pepper directly on grill or stovetop over medium-high heat. As the skin turns black, turn the pepper and continue blackening on all sides until the pepper is done. Place the pepper in a paper bag or Ziploc bag or bowl covered with cling wrap and let it steam for 15 minutes. Peel the skin off and discard, remove the seeds, then dice the pepper.
• If you want to enjoy this recipe on the SXSWern fast track, you can substitute the fresh corn, roasted pepper and black beans with 1-2 bags of Bird’s Eye frozen Southwest Blend Veggies. I like the roasted fresh track because of the smoky pepper flavor.

Ingredients: 

Dash  |  Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Pound  | Lean Ground Turkey
1  |  Roasted Red Pepper, Diced
1 Cup  | Frozen  Corn
1 Can (15 Ounces)  |  Ranch Style Black Beans

½ Teaspoon  |  Taco Seasoning Mix
To Garnish  |  A Squeeze Of Lime
To Garnish  |  Fritos Corn Chips Want In On The Party

Directions: 

1. If you’re preparing this recipe with fresh roasted peppers, prepare the red pepper (directions above). While the roasted pepper is resting…

2. Lightly pour some olive oil into the bottom of a large saucepan and warm the oil.

3. Add the turkey and cook about 5 minutes stirring occasionally until crumbled and no longer pink.

4. Add the roasted diced pepper and corn to the turkey; cook and stir 3-5 minutes until tender.

5. Add the next 5 ingredients and simmer 10 minutes.

Garnish and serve warm. Enjoy!

Hamburger Casserole Recipe

Cheers To Mom!

Don’t Moms make the best meals?!

This recipe comes from my Mom’s kitchen in East Texas near Tyler.

This savory dish packs the perfect blend of Frito crunch plus a little bit of Texas kick, compliments of our friend – the jalapeño. Great on game days, chilly days or any day you want a one dish casserole that’s sure to please.

Ingredients:

1 Pound  |  Hamburger Meat
1  |  Onion
1 Can  |  Cream of Chicken Soup
1 Can  |  Cream of Mushroom Soup
½ Soup Can  |  Water
To Taste (2-3)  |  Fresh Jalapeño Peppers, Sliced With Seeds
1 Bag  |  Fritos
To Top  |  Velveeta

What To Do: 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Brown meat and onion together in a medium pan.

3. Add the soups and a ½ can of water and the jalapeño pepper. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat.

4. Layer into a ungreased 1.5 quart casserole dish: fritos, meat mixture cheese. Then repeat fritos, meat mixture and cheese on top.

5. Bake 5-10 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve warm.

Yield: 6 – 9 Servings

Food Tips: 

  You can surely use pickled vs. fresh jalapeños if you prefer.

  Enjoy with a side salad and some fresh brewed tea for the home style touch.

  Top with a dollop of sour cream if you want to take down the spicy kick a bit.

Enjoy!
