Fideo

[JudynTX]

Do you like yours with round steak or pork?

pork

[Fideo Castro]

Don't add meat.

[JoeChalupa]

Sometimes I'll add pork or beef but generally just have it plain.

[CosmicCowboy]

diced sausage ( 2 or 3 links of the HEB jalapeno and cheese smoked sausage works great) and mixed veggies. I'll brown the fideo and sausage in a little olive oil, then add a can of hatch tomatos and green chilis, another half can water or chicken stock, then right towards the end add a half bag of frozen mixed vegetables and simmer till most of the liquid is absorbed. It's a kickass one skillet meal with a prep time of about 10 minutes. It's my go to meal when I'm flying solo at the ranch.

Beef. Gotta go with beef. However, pork and chili powder is a tasty mix.

I'm shocked you'd even buy fideo.

Ground beef.

Chicken every now and then

:lol

[this or that?]

Ground beef, tomato sauce, bell peppers & onions, garlic, comino, salt & pepper.

[SpursWoman]

ground turkey, diced tomatoes, chicken stock, chili powder, cumin & garlic.

[Slomo]

wtf is Fideo?

just regular noodles?

[CosmicCowboy]

Aw HELL yeah...I'ts a staple of my ranch cooking. I always keep some in the pantry.

[CosmicCowboy]

I think it's the broken spaghetti pieces they sweep up off the floor after they package the pretty long cut spaghetti.

:lol

Seriously is it cheap pasta? or more like soup noodles?

The "enriched" part on the box is confusing me.

[Sportcamper]

wtf is Fideo? +1 :lol

I am pretty sure that "Enriched" means that if it was any good for you they would not have to make it sound healthy…

I like it by itself as a side dish and not the soupy version. Though, I've had it with albondigas as a soup and it's pretty good.

I usually toast it in sesame, peanut or canola oil until it's good and evenly browned. The toasting is key. Then I add onion and diced tomato. In a molcajete grind garlic, salt, pepper and cumin. Add a little chicken broth to it to loosen the garlic paste and add the mixture to the toasted fideo. Then I add enough broth in the pan to simmer it.

Basic and badass.

[nacho]

I prefer my fideo to be soupy and not dry like a casserole.

[mrsmaalox]

No meat in mine. With plenty of comino.

I like it mostly as a side dish. But I've made SpursWoman's recipe as a main dish and it was great! :hungry:

My kids refer to it as Mexican spaghetti and love it ... I just had to take some turkey out of the freezer so I can make it this week. Now I want it! lol

[Proxy]

Ground beef obviously

[DesignatedT]

I like it on the soupy side as well. :tu

[Nathan Explosion]

Carne guisada and fideo with beans. FTW.

[JudynTX]

ground turkey, diced tomatoes, chicken stock, chili powder, cumin & garlic.

Hmmm, never thought of making it with turkey.

I like mine a little soupy too, lots of onion and green pepper.

This was a regular meal in our cheap household growing up. :lol

[boutons_deux]

vermicelli

kind of pasta, 1660s, lit. "little worms," from It. vermicelli, pl. of vermicello, dim. of verme, acc. singular of L. vermis "worm" (see worm). So called for resemblance.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

My mom would make it soupy with ground beef and corn. Yumm

[Ginobilly]

my fiancee makes it with either bits of pork or with ground beef. It always taste best when its soupy! Then I either add sour cream or ranch to it after I come from taking some bong hits from the laundry room. oh, and don't forget the garlic bread to accompany it!:toast

Garlic bread? Flour tortillas with butter is preferred. :tu

I was planning on salad, but that's an option. :lol


I asked DH to pick up some tortillas when he went to Costco, and he came home with some bigger than the size of your head. :wow

He found quesadilla tortillas. :lol I think he's trying to tell you something.

[SpursWoman]

They seem even bigger than that ... unless they are extra-super-grande quesadillas. Good God. lol

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Probably made for burritos.

Made it last night at the ranch before the game.

Nice looking stir fry :tu

[Sportcamper]

Never tried Fideo CC but that dish looks like it would be just as rocking with brown or wild rice…

[Blake]

Who puts corn and broccoli in their spaghetti

That is not Fideo anymore. :lol

[mrsmaalox]

That is not Fideo anymore. :lol

Right, it's just something that has the fideo pasta as an ingredient. But it does look like a satisfying skillet meal and I like the idea of something like that with rice. But I'd go with less "jalapeno this" and "green chile that"; I like that stuff but not necessarily in everything.

[CosmicCowboy]

I don't put it in EVERYTHING I cook...:lol

This gringo DOES like spicy stuff though...
