Recipe Round-up: Chili, Tacos, & Burgers

I Heart BeefI have been existing on canned soup and pop-tarts this week. I know. I know… It’s just been one of those weeks where normal things like sleeping and cooking have disappeared from my life.

Just because I haven’t had time to whip up something delicious made with beef doesn’t mean the rest of the world has been going beef-less. (Hooray!)

Cowboy Beef and Black Bean Chili
Jen at Purple Poke has a fabulous looking recipe that I can’t wait to try. Well, obviously I have been waiting, but as soon as life gives me time to try, then I’m gonna. She just started a section on her blog where she’s going to share her recipe adventures as she cooks her way through the Healthy Beef Cookbook. Who doesn’t love chili made with beef, beer, and black beans?

Shredded Beef Tacos
I question the person who actually needs a recipe for beef tacos as they seem mighty straight forward to me, but still…the photo of these Shredded Beef Tacos look really good. And it has nutrition information. The good news? 39 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber. The bad news? 738mg of sodium. Eek.

The 25 Best Burgers in the U.S.
I stumbled across this slide show of the 25 best burgers in the U.S. earlier this week. Everything from In-and-Out burgers to several restaurants in New York City that are famous for their burger offerings. I’ve never had any of them, but honestly? I’m a little partial to my own burgers made with beef I helped care for. Or maybe it’s just that I’m partial to lounging while eating my burgers instead of sitting in uncomfortable restaurant chairs!
