Start by melting some butter in a skillet and adding 1 diced onion. Let it saute down until the onion is soft and at least translucent.Add some mushrooms. We used 1 small can pre-sliced and drained. Toss and let simmer for a couple of minutes.Add in one pound of chorizo and cook until done. You can get chorizo links and remove the casings or if you are lucky, the meat department can get you the freshly made real deal.Add one pint of heavy cream and about 2 tablespoons safrito seasoning (this is a tomatoe and herb seasoning liquid found near the Goya area). Bring this entire mixture to a boil and reduce down to simmer for a couple of minutes. Server over some angel hair pasta... the thinner the better... and enjoy.

But it'll be worth you sticking around or checking in because I've really made some great stuff.

In the end, it doesn't matter where I file it as long as you try it. Sorry, no pictures, I was in a rush and actually got this one cooked in ~30 minutes. Ingredients: 1 package italian sausage - out of casings 3 large chicken breasts - cubed into bite size pieces 1 cube tomato / chicken bullion 2 cups water 1 can tomato paste (small can) 1 package vermicille Fixin' it: Bring 2 cups water to a boil with bullion cube - once boliing reached and cube fully dissolved, turn heat to low to keep warm and add tomato paste and stir to mix. Over medium high heat, brown the sausage (out of the casings) - break the sausage up into bite size chunks while it's cooking. Once just about cooked remove sausage and cover in a dish. Add the chicken and let it brown on each side ~3 minutes each - remove the chicken and add to the container with the sausage. Toss in the vermicille and cook until golden brown 3-5 minutes. Depending upon the quality of sausage and amount of chicken, an extra 1/2 tbs of oil may need to be added to help the pasta brown. Add in the broth mix (from the water / buillion / tomato paste). Add the meat back to the mix. Mix everything well. If needed, add some chicken broth to bring the liquid level up to where most of the pasta is covered, but don't worry about covering everything. Bring it all to a boil, cover with a lid and reduce heat to med-low and let simmer for 10 - 12 minutes. Once complete, indulge in some of the best tasting stuff ever.

So, I asked and asked and asked... and it showed back up. I bought some. It was great. I went to buy more and every freakin' package was a week past it's use by date. I'll probably never see it again. It's a sad, sad, sad day at Mako's Kitchen. If you have the opportunity to buy some chipotle bacon... you must. Don't think it's too hot, it's not. It tastes just wonderful. The best part of it? The house smells GREAT for at least 2 days... and not like IHOP. And to think, I had some really great plans for chipotle bacon recipes.
