    1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
    2. Cut 2 lbs yellow potatoes into wedges. Set aside.
    3. In a bowl, toss the potato wedges with 3 tbsp olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
    4. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
    5. Rinse and drain 2 cans black beans and 1 can red kidney beans. Set aside.
    6. Grate 1 carrot and set aside.
    7. Chop 2 garlic cloves, 2 ripe tomatoes, 4 green onions, 2 yellow onions, 1 red pepper and 2 celery stalks. Set aside. This is when adventurous eaters can chop 2 small jalapeño peppers to top their potato wedge nachos.
    8. Keep the chopped tomatoes and green onions to top your potato wedges.
    9. In a large saucepan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat, then brown 1 chopped onion and 2 chopped celery stalks for 1 minute.
    10. Add the chopped pepper, the grated carrot, 2 chopped garlic cloves, 1 can rinsed black beans and 1 can rinsed red kidney beans. Continue cooking for 3 minutes.
    11. Add 1 cup tomato sauce, 1 can (796 ml) diced tomatoes with juice, 2 bay leaves, ½ tsp ground cumin, ½ tsp ground coriander, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes or until the chili has thickened. This is when adventurous eaters can add ¼ cup nutritional yeast at the end of cooking.
    12. Once the potato wedges are cooked, preheat the oven broiler, top them with 1 can rinsed black beans, ½ cup crumbled cooked bacon and 1½ cups shredded Tex-Mex cheese. Place under the broiler for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
    13. In a large non-stick saucepan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat and cook 450 g beef and 1 chopped yellow onion for 5 minutes. Crumble the beef well while cooking.

    16. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, for 14 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Add 2 cups shredded yellow cheese and cook for another minute.
    17. Just before serving, adventurous eaters can top with chopped dill pickles.

    Le fromage à la crème dans la liste de choses à acheter, c’est une erreur? Je ne le vois utilisé nulle part ensuite dans la préparation.
