BobLoad Recipes

It's been a while since I've popped in here, so I've been enjoying catching up on some of the threads. The only exposure I've had lately has been stumbling across the r/appliances Reddit, but it's a constant stream of "what dishwasher/washer should I buy" and seeing a flood of Samsung and LG recommendations. Painful. So it's nice to come back here and see actual discussion about these machines and how they work, or could work better, not just about what's on sale as a quick replacement.

One thing I always enjoy is the BobLoad threads, especially with how busy life has been for me and how I haven't been in the kitchen as much as I would like, so my KitchenAid has had a steady diet of coffee mugs and sandwich plates, especially only being home for 7 days out of this month so far. I love seeing the variety of styles of dishes and taking note of how well they fit into everyone's machines so that I can keep an eye out to buy my own and replace some of the things that just aren't as dishwasher-rack friendly.

But something I think is missing from the BobLoad photos is to know exactly what caused such messy dishes that create these fully packed dishwashers that are so satisfying to see come out spotless. I know alot of you sometimes mention that it was "enchilada night" or something, but I think it would be really cool to not only see the photos of the packed machines but ALSO post the recipes for what you made, and that way others might be inspired to do the same. I've been in a recipe rut lately, despite having probably 1000s of recipes in this house, and when I do cook it just never ends up being a good messy, saucy meal, and I've had a hard time finding inspiration, so it would be fun to also see others' old/favorite meals while also keeping the BobLoad threads going.

Checkrate/Likes 1 *Recipe* While I was unsuccessful in obtaining my mom's recipe for Chicken Marsala ("You KNOW I guard my recipes! This way, you and your brother look forward to family dinners!"), and Mrs. V was not giving up the rights to her meatloaf recipe (I begged, but...happy wife, happy life), I WAS able to convince her to share her recipe for smothered burritos. We make them a couple of times a year - usually during the summer, with some limeade. And I'd say that our dishwasher has never had an issue cleaning up afterwards. Smothered Burritos The basics: Filling: 1lb of ground beef or ground turkey 1 can of Green Giant Mexicorn (you can substitute for any brand of similar style) 1 medium Spanish onion, diced 2 cloves of garlic, minced (you can use more or less; we tend to use more, so we don�t have to kiss one another) 1 can of diced tomatoes (juices completely drained) 1 cup of cooked white rice (again, you can add more or less, or even omit) Sauce: 1 container of sour cream 1 jar of a high-quality green salsa Juice of 1 lime Miscellaneous ingredients: 1 large bag of Mexican-style shredded cheese Chili powder Burrito wraps In a large pot, saut� the garlic and onion with some olive oil until cooked, but not burnt. Remove, and brown the meat. Once meat is cooked, throw the onion and garlic back in, and add the corn, tomatoes, and rice. At this point, you�re going to also add a good handful of the shredded cheese, as well as a few tablespoons of the sour cream (you�ll want to eyeball this; you want a mixture that is on the �gooey� side, as it�s easier to keep together in the burrito wraps). Once all is combined, spoon as much (or little) as you want into flour burrito wraps, and form a burrito. No set amount; make as many or few as you want. For the sauce; mix one jar of green salsa, with some sour cream, and the juice of a lime. Again, no exact measurements here; what you are looking for, is a creamy green sauce � enough in quantity to spoon on the bottom of a casserole dish, and over the top of the burritos. In a casserole dish (glass, metal�.we really don�t have a preference here), spoon some sauce mixture along the bottom, and spread it out. You want just enough to wet the bottom of the dish. Start loading in your burritos, and cover with the remaining sauce, as well as some shredded cheese (to taste). A good sprinkle of chili powder gives it some nice color. Bake uncovered at 350 until the sauce is bubbling, and the cheese is melted (say, 10-15 minutes). Serve with some Spanish rice, a green salad, and your favorite libation.
