💬 Uncle Dave says...
I have no idea if this recipe works or is even legit. That is because it is in the credits of possibly the worst movie I have never watched, Super Capers. How do I know about it if I never watched the movie? I happened to look up the movie on IMDB, and that was one of the interesting facts about the movie: there was a recipe for chili in the credits.
*Serving suggestion only. 😂 If a food photo doesn't look like it was taken by a monkey named Frank, it was most likely AI generated and not the result of Frank's minimal culinary or photographic skills. Unless you failed the "I'm not a robot" test, your recipes will probably not look like the ones in the pictures. See Creamy Turkey Veggie Soup to read more about AI images.
