Chef Connor here with some tips on how to cook a delicious meal that no one you know will have the heart to be disappointed in! How do I do?! Three answer for that: I'm a big guy, I took culinary, AND I LOVE FOOD! So here we go!
Recipe #1: Chili Hash Dip
Don't get it confused, this has nothing to do with marijuana, though the taste may put you in a trance. This is a relatively simple yet tasty party dip and I suggest it's either eaten with strong tortilla chips or wavy lays. And here's what you will need 
1 Can Chili with or without beans 1/2 to 1 can Corned Beef or Roast Beef Hash 2 ounces grated cheddar cheese chili powder to taste
Simply combine all ingredients except cheese in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 3 minutes or until consistency is that of a bowl of chili with a bit of grease running off. Sprinkle cheese on top and microwave for 30-45 seconds more. Serve with chips and enjoy great for sporting events!
Recipe #2: Beef Stew
Okay kids, we all know what Beef Stew is, it's stewed beef with a gravy and lots and lots of veggies, right? Well my recipe is a little different. I've decided to kick it up a notch and use a lot of meat and spices Oddly enough, the stew itself isn't very spicy at all. It's just spicy enough to give your taste buds a good kick. And here we go
2 pounds Stewed Beef cut into half-inch cubes or chunks 2 sliced potatoes or 1 can sliced potatoes 1/2 carrot, 1/4 bag frozen corn, and 1 stalk celery or 1 can mixed veggies 1 jar of ready made beef gravy Onion, Garlic, Pepper, Lemon Pepper and Steak Seasoning to taste
Okay folks, this is a long cooker, but a lovable recipe. Cooking times very on how big you cut the meat, but the entire recipe could take up to an hour, not counting prep work.
Graze beef until brown in a skillet with spray, butter or oil (I prefer using the fat run off and PAM spray) and add spices. Cook until slightly browner. Add mixed veggies and stir when meat is cooked thoroughly. Stir, then add your gravy and let simmer for 15 minutes or until meat is tender. Add potatoes and a tad more steak seasoning. Add pepper to taste, but make sure not to sneeze in the food. Guests frown upon that. Finally, serve it up good and enjoy it's best for a meal or a late snack, but is better warm then re-heated.
Okay folks, time is short, so I'll have to post more recipes another time. So I will only give you one more of my recipes for today and here it is
Recipe #3: Deep-Fried Raviolis
Sounds simple right? WRONG! You can never be too cautious when using oil, it's easy to get burnt and can be very dangerous. So here's what you need.
1 bag of frozen beef or cheese raviolis 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 cups bread crumbs 2 large eggs Onion, Garlic and Lemon Pepper to taste (for bread crumb coating)
Okay kids, this one is rather simple, but prep work is a pain, you have to coat ever ravioli one by one or else they will stick together.
Mix bread crumbs with spices and stir. Crack open eggs and stir until mostly yellow. Coat each ravioli with egg and allow excess to run off before coating in bread crumbs. Heat up oil until bubbly. Add, what I like to call, a test ravioli into the oil to make sure it's hot enough. This can be done in any 4-6 quart sauce pan, but NEVER over-fill with oil. Oil should only go up to about 1/3 of the pan to prevent burns. Cook each ravioli until golden brown and lay on a paper towel to dry as oil runs off. Change paper towels if neccasary. Serve with any kind of condiment such as ketchup or wasabi, whatever ya like.
This has been cooking with Chef Connor lesson 1. I'll be back tomorrow with more fun recipes you can use to wow your parents, but please, don't blame me if you mess up!
