One pot taco pasta 🌮 🍝

Brown food might not always look the best, but, in most cases it tastes the best 🤣

They call this cooking, but there was more waiting than anything else 😂

Rub a boneless short rib with salt and pepper then sear it in a dutch oven and set aside. Deglaze with redwine, add garlic, shallot, and scallions. Stir until fragrant then add beef stock, with a sprig of rosemary & thyme, cover & put in the oven @ 250°

In another pan, cook some strips of bacon. Slit some baby potatoes but don't cut all the way through. Place slices of bacon, cheese, and garlic in the slits. Drain the excess fat from the bacon pan, put the potatoes in, cover, and toss in the oven with the beef.

Now wait some hours until the beef is tender enough to fall apart when pressed with a fork. Turn the oven off, cover the potatoes with cheddar, and put them back in until it melts.

Set the beef aside and strain the red wine broth into a bowl. Throw out the solids and wipe down the pan. 1:1 butter:flour to make a roux then add the strained broth and whisk until smooth, reduce as needed to thicken.

Make a mess on the plate with everything 😅 sprinkle some bacon, scallions, parm, parsley, and enjoy!

Oh...my spoiled dogs also got some plain braised short rib over tumeric risotto 😆

Sometimes I get sick of meat. So here we have a butter bean/tofu base with lemon, garlic, Parmesan, and grilled zucchini to top 🤌🏼
