I always say that good comfort food can make any day better. And when that comforting dish is as easy as it is delicious and comforting, then you know you have a winner. I would say that my new Cheesy Chili Meatball Skillet absolutely fits that mold. The flavors and aromas would make you think that this took all day, but the reality is quite the opposite.

I started by making the meatballs. I combined one pound of ground chorizo with one pound of pork sausage and added an egg, one half cup of Panko bread crumbs, fresh cilantro, chili powder, cumin, Mexican oregano, salt, and pepper. Once combined, I formed the meat into eighteen meatballs, each about one and half inches, and spread them on a parchment lined baking sheet.


I baked the meatballs at 375 degrees for thirty minutes. While they baked, I got to work on the skillet by sautéing a diced red onion in olive oil.

Once the onion was soft, I added one can of garbanzo beans, one can of white beans, one can of diced tomatoes, and one small can of green chiles, I left most of the liquid and seasoned everything with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder.

I let it all simmer away until the flavors married and the house was fragrant. By this time, the meatballs were finished.


I added the cooked meatballs to the skillet and smothered them with Mexican shredded nacho cheese.


I popped the entire skillet under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese was melted, brown, and bubbly.

To serve, I scattered fresh sliced jalapeños over the skillet and added a dollop of sour cream.

At this point, all that was needed was a plate of tortilla chips (and a few empty bellies!) A squeeze of fresh lime and some extra cilantro would not hurt either!


You can certainly use different types of beans or even leave them out altogether if you are not a fan of beans. This would be just as good over rice!

If you try this, be sure to let me know how it turns out! Stay good at food!




Like Audemars Piguet with its various houses, MB&F has had to get link creative about how to stay in contact with potential customers who want to be around the brand but will not be going home with a watch today or tomorrow or maybe even next year. Where the AP House uses whiskey to anesthetize customers from link the pain of non-acquisition, Büsser's secret link weapon is physics. There are now M.A.D. Galleries in Dubai, Taipei, and Hong Kong.
I'm talking about the link Prospex Save The Ocean (STO) series. First introduced in 2018, this line of special edition watches is updated annually with a new take on an older link Seiko design, highlighting a variety of marine animals that one might encounter on an exotic dive trip. We've had Seiko Turtles with dials inspired by humpback whales, Seiko Monsters with dials that riff on penguin link tracks, and even Seiko Samurais that reflect Manta Rays onto their dial surface.
The Tiffany-Blue 5711 has a higher multiplier in regard to its link MSRP, but I think we all expected it to go bonkers. There's the Tiffany and Patek equation, it's highly limited, and the charitable aspect all add up to push it to the maximum threshold that someone would be willing to pay. But this Hulk? link It's unworn and comes with box and papers. That's link great, but that's it. It's one of countless green-dialed Submariners that Rolex produced over the full decade the 116610LV was in production.
He sets aside the meteorite dream, and happily continues collecting, eventually feeling pretty content with a panda dial Daytona – which he ends link up link gifting it to link his father, who loves it even more than he does. And then, in an act of watch karma, the meteorite panda is released.
How do you get an "outsider" like myself to care about the quiet watch brand for billionaires (and, fine, millionaires too) with unending intellectual credibility? I went straight to the source, to brand CEO Wilhelm Schmid, who has been at the helm for 13 years. He's sharp, and drapes chocolate brown cashmere link sweaters over perfectly fitted sports jackets. He is link the type of man you would link believe wears A. Lange & Söhne.
