Divide ground beef in two, shape into patties and throw it on the grill to desired taste.  Just before its ready, slap on the cheese. Dress up the bun with your condiments, then layer as follows:

One patty with cheese, one onion slice, two slices of tomato, one leaf of lettuce, then repeat with one patty with cheese, one onion slice, two slices of tomato, one leaf of lettuce.  Now add the top of the bun. 

Roy’s Cafe Chili

20 pounds chili meat
2 #10 cans tomato sauce (#10 can is 6 pounds, 12 ounces)

12 tablespoons chili powder
6 tablespoons crushed chili flakes
2 tablespoons black pepper
4 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons garlic
2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons cumin
15 tablespoons paprika
8 cups diced fresh onion
Cooked beans, to add later

Place the cubed meat in a large roaster in a preheated 450 F oven to brown.  Stir frequently until done. Add remaining ingredients and set oven at 375 F.  Cover and bake the chili for 3 hours in the oven.  Freeze chili in blocks to be thawed and served later. Keep a fresh pot of beans on the stove to add to the chili just before serving.

This obviously makes a whole bunch!!!

 

Signature Soups at The Turquoise Room in Winslow, Arizona

 

At the historic La Posada Hotel in Winslow, Arizona, the Turquoise Room serves up delicious Southwestern entrees that live up to their romantic surroundings.  With any dinner entree, you will get these two signature soups - Cream of Corn and Smooth Black-Bean served side by side and topped with a red-chile signature.

 

 

 

 

Black Bean Soup


1 lb washed black beans (soak for 12 hours)
1/2 Tbsp. New Mexico mild chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
1 small bay leaf
1/2 cup diced onion
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp fresh garlic
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 qt. Water

Wash and soak the beans in cold water and leave to soak overnight. Place in a large thick bottom pot with all the ingredients. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 1/2 hours til the beans are tender. Remove the bay leaf and discard. Place the beans in a blender until smooth. Dilute with water as needed. The soup can be made one day ahead and reheated.

Serves 6-8

Cream of Corn Soup


2 lb cut fresh yellow corn off the cob
12 oz sliced white onion
2 oz butter
3 cups heavy cream
2 cup water
1 level teaspoon salt

Find the freshest corn you can and cut it off the cob making sure you scrape the cob to extract all of the milk. This is the sweetest part of the corn. Saute the onions in a thick bottomed pan until soft but not brown. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes and remove from the heat. Place in a blender and puree till smooth. If the corn is not sweet you may add a little sugar to taste. This may be done ahead of time and kept warm in a double boiler.

Serves 6-8

Garnish both soups with a Red Pepper Stripe

Red Pepper Stripe


1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup roasted red peppers, peeled and seeded.
Canned pimentos may be used
1 tsp chipotle puree
Salt and pepper to taste

It is important for both soups to be the same consistency so that when they are placed in the bowl they stay separate. You may adjust them with hot water at the time of service. Due to the starches in both soups they will thicken as they sit. Have the soups hot and side by side.
