Chalupa
(sourced from college friend-and has previously inspired a bachelor to cook! )
3lb boneless pork roast
2 cloves garlic
1 small can diced chiles
1 lb. pinto beans sorted and rinsed
1 Tbsp. salt

Put all in pan and cover with water. Cook over low heat for 3 hours (or in crockpot).
Break roast--put on cutting board and shred or cut if too hot.
Put back in pot and cook for an additional hour or until beans are tender.

Suggested Toppings (basically whatever you enjoy on tacos)

Hot Chili Beans

1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
Prepared in large skillet or electric frying pan
Brown ground beef and onions.

I usually serve with an additional veggie on the side, but it holds its own well
Kielbasa Supper ( a polish classic :) )

1 can of water

second can of soup
Cover tightly. Bake at 325 for 2.5 hours (or until veggies are fork tender)
Potato Salmon Patties
(an internet find, kids love--never had leftovers)

1-14.75 can salmon, drained and flaked
2 eggs beaten
1/4 c. bread crumbs
1/4 c. potato flakes
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. dried dill weed
1/4 tsp. celery salt
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
1. in a medium bowl, mix salmon, eggs, bread crumbs, potato flakes, onion, garlic and spices.
2. Form mixture into 2 inch balls and flatten into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook patties about 5 minutes per side until lightly browned. (Honestly, until my george forman grill died, i cooked them without the oil for 5 minutes total)
