Magic Bullet recipes from ApronMadness.com


Yes.. I got a Magic Bullet set for Christmas & am already using it alot!
So for the next few days, I'll post some of the "thumbs up" & Thumbs down" creations I have tried.

So go get on your Apron from www.apronmadness.com & join us in cooking Quick & Easy recipes with your Magic Bullet!



CREAM of Chicken (or turkey) soup!

This was just the BEST soup! We all started getting sick & I decided to make some soup for my daughter & I.

Use the cross blade & the larger cup...
Now I had Home canned Turkey & broth from Thanksgiving but you can use any chicken broth, water & bouillon and then use left over chicken, a chopped cook chicken breast or canned chicken. (or leftover Turkey)

I chopped about 1/4 to 1/2 carrot (chopped tiny). 1/2 thin sliver of onion... put in cup with about 2 or 3 Tbsp meat & fill 1/2 to 2/3 way up with broth. Add a pinch of poultry seasoning & salt.
Microwave till carrots are just about tender... 3 - 5 min depending on how many & how thick you cut them.

Then blend on the Bullet till creamy. Add some Heavy Cream to about 1/2 inch from the top... blend for just a few seconds (enough to blend).... enjoy!!!

Tip... you can do all this & use a blender, food processor or hand blender instead if you don't have a Magic bullet

Famous CopyCat Soup Recipes

This is a GREAT Chili Recipe!

Here's a favorite recipe for chili that clones the stuff served
at the Wendy's chain. Dave Thomas, Wendy's founder, has been
serving this chili since 1969, he year the first Wendy's opened
its doors. Over the years the recipe has changed a bit, but
this version here is an amazing copy of the version of chili
served in the early 90's. Try topping it with some chopped onion
and cheddar cheese, as you can request in the restaurant.

So get on your Apron & Start cooking!


Wendy's® Chili

2 pounds ground beef
One 29-ounce can tomato sauce
One 29-ounce can kidney beans (with liquid)
One 29-ounce can pinto beans (with liquid)
1 cup diced onion (1 medium onion)
1/2 cup diced green chili (2 chilies)
1/4 cup diced celery (1 stalk)
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
2 teaspoons cumin powder
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups water

1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat; drain off
the fat.
2. Using a fork, crumble the cooked beef into pea-size pieces.
3. In a large pot, combine the beef plus all the remaining ingredients,
and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook, stirring every 15 minutes,
for 2 to 3 hours.

Makes about 12 servings.

Tidbits

For spicier chili, add 1/2 teaspoon more black pepper.
For much spicier chili, add 1 teaspoon black pepper and a tablespoon
cayenne pepper.
And for a real stomach stinger, add 5 or 6 sliced jalapeno peppers
to the pot.
Leftovers can be frozen for several months.
