mmmm....Chili.....
Since fall is upon us, there is nothing better than a nice big pot of GOOD chili on a cool evening.
Does anybody out there want to share a receipe for a good batch of chili? I can't find one I really like and all of the chili I do like, my friends won't divulge there secrets!
I promise I won't tell anyone!
I just want a good bowl of chili!!!
Thanks!
Tim
1/2 lb pork sausage
Molassas
Brown sugar
Crushed red pepper or red pepper flakes
Melinda's XXX Hot Sauce
Diced onion, half of an onion
Stewed tomatoes Mexican Style one can about 16 oz. Ro Tell(sp) if you can handle it
One can tomato soup
Chili beans (never Bush's) 1-2 16 oz cans
One large bottle of chili powder
pakge of chili seasoning
Brown up the beef and sausage with the chili seasoning and onions.
Add tomatoes, beans and tomato soup, the brown sugar and molassases is to sweet it up a little, about 1 cup of molassases and just a little brown sugar. Fools the taste buds till the heat kicks ya.
About half a container of chili powder start with a little and add to taste, about 1 table spoon red pepper, dash in some Melinda's.
This is called Dump chili because after the main ingredants of beef, beans and tomatoes you dump a little of this and that till you like the taste and heat.
Fools people cause they think it's sweet then the heat gets 'em.
