STALEKRACKER RECIPES

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage and cook for 2 minutes. Add celery, onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink inside and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes more. Add tomatoes, paprika, Creole seasoning, and cayenne pepper; bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
• Add broth to the pot and return to a simmer. Add penne and simmer for 8 minutes. Add shrimp. Continue to simmer, stirring constantly, until pasta is tender but firm to the bite and shrimp are cooked through, about 7 minutes more.
• Stir in cream. Stir in thyme, oregano, and basil. Cook until just heated through, 3 to 5 minutes more. Serve topped with green onions and Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Dice all of the ingredients into even size pieces.
• In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil of choice or rendered bacon fat over MEDIUM heat.
• Add the diced trinity (onions, green bell pepper, and celery) to the pot and saute until the vegetables are tender and the onions are translucent - about 8-10 minutes.
• Continue on with the beginning of your recipe. The next step is usually the addition of minced garlic.
