Chili-How I love thee let me count the ways!

So Chili can be a very vesatile dinner or lunch option.  The left overs are always yummy. Summer or Winter there is always an option for chilli.  In the summer it is a quick fixer. In the winter a bowl of warm comfort.

We used to have game night growing up and mom would make the chili. Diane would bring the fritos and our best friends. We grew up on chili pretty much every Friday night for about 6 or 7 years!  I loved the beans, Josh(my then bff) loved the meat. We'd swap. We would have deer meat chili in hunting season. Turkey chili in diet season. It morphed from a seasoning packet to tomatoe paste, to a jar of salsa, and then to a little of both or a can of rotel. Now my sister adds kidney beans and black beans sometimes.

Baked beans should seriously be avoided, so should peanut butter and sugar mother, really! That was the adventure of the diabetic comma chilli.....Just add more chips and eat it any ways she said.....

So here is some ideas for your chilli.  Use it for Frito pie. A chilli cheese wrap, on a baked potatoe, on the hotdogs, with crackers, on a burger or here in the south they do a three way....Spaghetti noodles and onlions a 4way is with cheese. (Gross)

CHILLI

1lb hamburger
2 cans of ranch style chili beans (you can add kidney beans or other beans if you want)
can or rotel (or salsa or tomatoe paste)
taco seasoning(or chili seasoning I think it is the same!)

Brown it, add half seasoning, add beans, rotel, maybe some water(Wendy likes it thick, I like it watery) Add the rest of the seasoning...simmer

USe it however you like just remember

Beans beans the magical fruit the more you eat.........So eat them beans for ever meal.:)
