FIREMANS ENCHILADA (Casserole Style) by Doc Young “for the fire fighter on the go”
18 fresh corn tortillas (do not cook) be
sure
to smell before buying Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine sauces and heat to near boiling, simmer while cooking meat of your choice, add onion and drain meat when done. Drain olives and set aside. Grate cheese and set aside.
Take a casserole dish (big enough) pour 2 cups of sauce into dish and spread evenly. Dip 6 of those fresh tortillas in remaining sauce (1 at a time) and layer flat in dish. The foundation for this great dish has now begun. Next sprinkle half of the meat evenly; Season (salt/pepper), sprinkle half of the olives and about 1/3 of the cheese.
Dip 6 more tortillas in sauce, layer, sprinkle remaining meat, season, sprinkle remaining olives and 1/3 of remaining cheese (save some for the top).
Dip remaining 6 tortillas in sauce, layer, pour remaining sauce evenly over top and sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly. Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes or until heated through.
Take frijoles (beans) place in saucepan or glass dish and heat either on top of stove or in the oven. Do not place saucepan in the oven. The handle tends to get soft. Sprinkle with cheese if you haven't already eaten it all while grating.
Remember to turn off the oven and stove or you will have several firemen over for dinner. But that’s OK!, you have just made plenty unless you have a family of 12. Once you have made this dish, the next time it will be faster. You actually save time by not having to roll each tortilla or cook the tortillas and no oil was used.
Enjoy, Amigos and Amigas!

Flour tortillas (large) as many as you can
eat Cook hamburger with chopped onion, drain. Heat and drain beans. Combine meat and beans. Keep warm. Heat tortillas, add ingredients, sprinkle cheese and roll (you can tuck ends in, if you have had previous experience). If you have a microwave oven this is great for heating of tortillas and burritos after they are made. Sprinkle cheese and/or any salsa you wish on top. You may also add the frijoles if you like or just simply heat and serve.

1/2 lb. cheese (yellow) Slice tortillas into 4s or wedges like pie slices. Fry in oil until golden brown or hard, and lay on drain grill or paper towels to dry. Slice cheese (into about the same size as wedges). Slice jalapenos or buy already sliced.
Take cookie sheet or other flat cooking utensil and place tortilla wedges evenly on cookie sheet. Next place cheese (alternate white and yellow) on each tortilla wedge. Now, for the gusto! place the jalapenos sliced upon each wedge. Now heat in oven at 350 degrees. until cheese melts and serve hot. For those who cannot handle mouth on fire, simply leave off the jalapenos.
Or if you wish, grate cheeses over store bought tortilla chips of choice, add jalapenos and heat in microwave or bake in oven.
Or you can take the easy way out
Or Try Nacho's another way
Place tortilla chips, layer meat and beans (should be hot), lettuce, add cheese, sauce and garnish with olives as shown or add your own cooked green chili peppers or jalapenos.

6 medium potatoes (russets)
Mayonnaise (please no Miracle Whip, yuk!)
Pepper if you like it Peel, slice into small chunks, and boil potatoes until tender, not too soft and not too hard. We do not want mashed or rock potatoes to chew or as some call potato surprise. Please, drain and save water to boil eggs. I have been known to boil eggs at the same time along with the potatoes. This saves energy. And you can save the water to add to your dogs dry food or water plants.
Slice eggs and add to potatoes. Oh! you haven't been doing this without a bowl have you. Place in bowl do not stir yet. Add 1 teaspoon of mustard and chopped onion, slowly add mayonnaise, stirring gently. Do not add too much mayonnaise, but just enough until it stirs freely. Sprinkle Lawry's seasoning salt over top, Pepper if like it and place in refrigerator until cooled. Serve and Enjoy!
This recipe yields 3 days worth of yummy potato salad for myself, if having a family BBQ, add more potatoes, mayonnaise, onion etc. At least one potato and one egg per two people, unless they do not like potato salad, more for you and family.

Spencer steak (please no cheap imitations)
Do nothing to the steak except marinate it in a 50/50 mixture of soy sauce and beer (your favorite or a cheap brand) for about 1-2 hours depending if you can wait that long. Now bar-b-que until done for your taste. For children use near-beer. Please do not eat and drive. Try my “No Frills Potato Salad".

1 to 2 lbs. of meat (steak or roast)
Marinate meat (either whole or cut) in teriyaki sauce for 1 hour. Cut meat into 2 inch squares. Cut carrots into 2 inch lengths. Cut potatoes and pepper the same as the meat. Cut the onions into slices (like an apple). For tender vegetables precook them first. Take skewers slide alternating meat and vegetables.
Season with salt and pepper. You may either wrap skewers in foil and bar-b-que or leave unwrapped and rotisserie on a spit over the bar-b-que.
You may use the canned white potatoes if you prefer and also marinate in different types of sauces. If too windy outside, broil in oven, use skewers designed for oven/broiler use without wooden handles.

2-3 lb. roast Brown meat, place flour in bag and shake to coat bag. Slice carrots, onion and potatoes, set aside. Have you decided if you want cream of mushroom soup or beef broth? Good, now use a roasting pan or cake pan, place bag in it and insert meat (inside bag) pour in soup, add milk. Or use broth instead (please do not mix both). Use twist locks provided to seal bag, remember this is a no mess roast. Perforate top of bag with 3 (1/2 inch) slits (so the bag won’t explode and make a mess).
Set oven to 375 – 400 degrees. Do No Exceed recommended bag temperature. Bake for 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and gently open bag (steam in it is hot) at top and serve. Save juices for gravy if you know how from scratch.

Cook your desired meat
with onion if desired and drain.
Take corn tortillas (smell for corn freshness) place the cooked meat inside, fold and hold closed with tongs as you fry in corn oil deep enough for one side of the folded tortilla to lay in, sometimes you can use a toothpick to hold it together. Lightly fry on one side until just a little crisp and then on the other side. With tongs you can flip one way for a while and then the other. With toothpicks you can place several in the pan of oil at once (depending on size of pan). Place taco's in a taco rack to drain or on paper towels with a end higher for excess oil to drain out.
Pull toothpick, spread taco gently, sprinkle Parmesan cheese, add hot sauce if you can handle it or your favorite seasoning, add shredded/hand torn lettuce and begin to eat.

Doc's Incredible Chili not for the weak (sissies)
Cut steak into 1/2-inch cubes.
In a very large skillet or Dutch oven, if you do not know what a Dutch oven is don't ask, brown the meat in oil, remove to a bowl and set aside. Add onions, peppers and garlic to drippings in pan over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more oil if necessary.
Return the meat to the pan make sure you have all fingers on both hands, this is where you do not need to make national TV like some folks in the restaurant business do, then add tomatoes and their liquid, the remaining ingredients if you can remember after a pitcher of Margarita's or a case of Beer.
Heat to boiling which if you never knew is 212°F or if you are into that celsius crap, then 100°C. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 1-1/2 hours or until meat is fork tender, stirring occasionally if you are still standing by now.

You have a choice on how to crock/cook your beef.
For the watched crock…add beef broth and roast. Simmer low for 6 hours. After 6 hours, add potatoes, carrots, celery and onions and simmer another 2-4 hours. Before serving, add optional canned or fresh vegetables. Allow to heat through or until tender for fresh vegetables.
Or if on the go…add beef broth, roast, potatoes, carrots, celery and onion…simmer 6-8 hours. When ready to eat and while setting the table, add optional canned or fresh vegetables. Allow to heat through or until tender for fresh vegetables.
Salt and pepper to taste…as my mother used to say, taste it first before salting and adding pepper. And eat all of your vegetables, so if you have those who do like certain vegetables, leave those out.
If you prefer and in a hurry…crock on high for 4-6 hours. Or, cook veggies separate, and add to an already cooked Spoon Roast. It does not get any better than that.

....No
I was not cooking at the time or is this our fire station....notice the
real fire fighter without protection fighting the fire.
(did you forget
to wash your hands?). Now take those clean hands and
mash all those ingredients together. Place this bundle of meat
into
a casserole dish (large enough) and shape (this is where you can get
creative)
into any design you like. ie. Heart shape. Most people shape it
like
a loaf of bread, hence the name "Meat Loaf. Once this has been
accomplished,
bake in the oven for about 1 1/2 hour at 350 degrees. At this
time
leave the oven on, remove your creation and drain any grease. Take the
remaining
sauce, smooth over the top and continue to bake for another 15
minutes.
Serve with your favorite veggies and potato dish.
