Chili Buns
I would say to this recipe: “You had me at grinding two cloves garlic with chili and spices.” I wrote down this recipe after it was published in Esquire magazine, as something every man should know about, because the recipe was invented in some old time, smoke-filled, real-man-inhabited pool rooms circa 1920. It even had… Continue reading Chili Buns

This is the most basic meatloaf, ever. Beef, bread crumbs and egg, with something to bind them. There is no bacon on top, no ketchup to serve as a glaze. The only vegetable is a small onion, and the most interesting seasoning is celery seed. I used to not think very much of meatloaf, so when… Continue reading Meatloaf (OTC Bread Crumbs and Mom)
