Winter Recipes: Cozy Flavors To Fend Off The Cold

Drive by Big Bad Breakfast on a weekend morning and you can’t miss the line of patrons that winds from the door out to the corner. The good news is that you can make the following recipes, shared by Daphaney Tripp, director of digital media and marketing, at home so you don’t have to queue.

Tripp said the crowd favorite this time of year is the Chili Cheese Omelet, a basic three egg and cheese omelet topped with sour cream, green onion, shredded cheddar and chili as instructed below:

Chili Cheese Omelet

• 2 tablespoons blend oil divided
• 2.5 pounds ground beef
• 3 cups diced yellow onions
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2.5 tablespoons salt
• 2.5 tablespoons fresh ground black pepper
• 1.5 tablespoons paprika
• 3 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne
• 1.5 tablespoons ground cumin
• 3 cups blended tomato filets
• 1 cup chili sauce

1. In a large pot over medium high heat, cook beef in 1 tablespoon oil until just fully cooked. Remove from the pot, drain the fat and set the beef aside.
2. Return the pot to medium high heat and add the remaining oil. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently until translucent.
3. Add the spices, salt and garlic, and stir until fragrant. About 2 minutes.
4. Add the blended tomatoes and chili sauce. Scrape any bits off the bottom of the pot and stir until well combined.
5. Add the beef to combine and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
6. Cool quickly in the refrigerator.

For an added kick, pair with a Cranberry Mimosa or an entire flight. Just add ingredients and stir.

Cranberry Mimosa

• 2 ounces of Prosecco
• 6.5 ounces of cranberry juice
