With the help of our recipe brain trust, aka Momma Mary, we have created a bubbly meat and potato skillet dish so good, you’ll want to hoard it all for yourself!
Growing up in Texas, I realized there’s one thing you just don’t mess with by adding beans and that “one thing” is Texas Chili! Now non-native Texans and people in other states may love kidney, pinto or black beans in theirs, but if you bring that to a cookout back home, your dish may somehow find its way into the garbage!
My grandmother in Louisiana was a legendary cook in my family. Though she didn't call herself a cook per se, she could absolutely throw down in the kitchen. Any visit to her house seemed to guarantee gumbo bursting with complex flavors, garlicky pork roast, smothered pork chops or beef and brown gravy with rice, crawfish etouffée, meaty jambalaya and more. No one left...
