Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds ground beef
¼ onion, chopped
½ (1.25 ounce) package spicy chili seasoning mix
1 (15 ounce) can ranch-style beans
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  • Cook and stir ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat with onion until the meat is brown and crumbly, about 10 minutes; drain excess grease. Stir in chili seasoning mix, ranch-style beans, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the ground beef mixture is thick, about 10 minutes; let simmer while you finish remaining steps.
  • Mix self-rising flour with buttermilk in a bowl (dough will be very sticky). Scoop up about 1/4 cup of dough and gently pat into a 5-inch circle on a well-floured work surface.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet until a deep-frying thermometer placed in the center of the oil, not touching the bottom, reads 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Gently place a dough circles into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once, about 3 minutes per side. Fry bread will expand in size as it cooks. Drain the fried bread pieces on paper towels and place on baking sheets. Transfer to the oven to keep warm while you finish frying the bread.
  • Top fried bread with ground beef mixture to serve.

INDIAN FRY BREAD



Indian Fry Bread image

The best thing about having dinner with the neighbors, as a child, was eating their fresh Fry Bread, which they smothered with lots of powdered sugar. As I grew older, I just sprinkled on the powdered sugar or drizzled with honey. But every now and then I can't help myself. I find myself grabbing a pie plate and filling it with...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c powdered milk
about 1 c warm water
oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients together until you get a big ball of dough. Cover with cloth for about 10 mins.
  • 2. Grab a ball of the dough and flatten out into about a 5" disk. I poke a hole in the center. This recipe makes a good 7 pieces so really flatten the pieces of dough. I pat them in my hands to flatten them really good.
  • 3. Heat your oil making sure you heat about 3 inches of oil. Just enough to deep fry your flatted dough pieces. Fry until they are deep golden brown. You can drain them on paper towels or just plop them into a pie dish full of powdered sugar. And you can butter them and drizzle them with honey. So many things to do with these tasty fried breads.

INDIAN FRY BREAD



Indian Fry Bread image

Many Native Americans have a recipe for Fry Bread. This one listed is not ours. We have perfected our own and we hold ingredients that make ours special. One of those is tinpsula. This is a food widely used by many Native Indian tribes, and was one of the primary foods used by the plains Indians. Although tinpsula makes our bread different, there is much more than that that goes into our processes of Fry Bread.
