Here is how you make TEXAS HERO (A.K.A. THE DAVEY CROCKETT):

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the meat in its own juices until it is almost cooked through. (If you are using vegetarian ground "meat" or an extra can of beans, add it after the tomato sauce instead). Drain off the excess liquid, if necessary, and add the diced vegetables to the skillet. Saut? the mixture for 2 more minutes and add all the remaining ingredients, except the buns and optional hot pepper sauce. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and simmer it for about 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender. At this point you can refrigerate the meal for up to 2 days, freeze it for up to 3 months, or proceed to the next step. To serve the sandwiches, toast the buns lightly and fill each one with a large spoonful of the meat mixture. Sprinkle the filling with a few dashes of hot pepper sauce, if desired. Flavor Booster: Add 1 tsp. chili powder to the skillet with the vegetables, and use the optional hot pepper sauce (or try Chipotle flavored Tabasco sauce!) on the sandwichesNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user EMCAZIER.
