Fiesta Beef Casserole Recipe:

(from The Grassfed Gourmet Cookbook)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds ground beef (NOTE: We used the 50/50 meat and it was AMAZING!!!)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 12 ounces chunky salsa
  • 1 cup corn, fresh or frozen
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise or sour cream (NOTE: We replaced this with yogurt!)
  • 2 cups crushed tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar (Our cheese of course!)
  • 1 head lettuce, coarsely chopped
  • 3 tomatoes, seeded, coarsely chopped

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Coat a large, heated skillet with olive oil. Add the ground beef (or 50/50) sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chili powder; cook until the meat browns.

Remove beef (or 50/50) to a large bowl, and add the salsa, corn and mayonnaise or sour cream (or yogurt). Spread one-half of the meat mixture on the bottom of a 2-quart casserole. Top with one cup of the tortilla chips, followed by one cup of the cheese. Repeat the layers. Bake for 20 minutes.

Serve on a bed of chopped lettuce, and top with tomatoes.

(We recommend you use organic ingredients as much as possible.)

Rabbit, Chestnuts, Micro-Greens And A Trial 9/20/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, We may be going to trial. We are alleged criminals for selling food without a proper license. They sent an undercover investigator to our farm to buy our food and caught us red handed. We are charged with a second degree misdemeanor just like a druggy. Yes it is a very sick world we live in when the farmer and his wife who neither have ANY previous record are accused of a crime and the crime is something that people have been doing since the beginning of time.

Kefir, a Glass a Day Will Keep the Doctor Away and Persimmons A-plenty 9/6/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, Kefir made from raw, 100% grass fed milk is an amazing super food loaded with friendly bacteria for your gut. A healthy person will have 2 to 6 lbs of healthy bacteria in their gut. Another way to say this is that a healthy person will have 80% good bacteria and 20% bad in the gut but most Americans have this ratio reversed. This imbalance affects the immune function as these friendly bacteria are a huge part of your immune system.
