Chili your way…or mine. Whatever.
We’re starting off our week with chili, and I have 2 favorites: Huckdoll’s chili and … crap. I don’t have a good name for the other one… it’s Steven’s mom’s recipe. He calls it “damn good chili,” maybe we’ll just go with that. (We’ll be having DGC tomorrow night. Tuesday night will be chili dogs using leftovers of the DGC.)
Damn (or Darn) Good Chili
4 cans Busch’s chili beans
2 lbs ground beef
Approximately 34.5 oz of tomato juice (or to taste)
8 oz of sliced jalapenos (in a jar)
salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste
Brown the hamburger meat, then throw everything in a pot and heat it up. Ta-Da.
Huckdoll’s Chili
1 small onion, diced and a few sprinkles of flaked red chili pepper, sauteed in a bit of olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan
Add 2 cans Mexican or chili style stewed tomatoes
Add 2 small cans of whole kernel corn
Add 1 can of black beans
Stir all ingredients and let simmer for however long.
Top with sour cream (no- or low- fat is good, too) and shredded cheddar
Personally… Onions and I don’t get along too well, so I skip that first step and it still turns out yummy. Except Steven doesn’t like it because it’s “girly” and has no meat…which is exactly why I like it…no beef. 
Welcome back!

Cam’s mom had a recipe for chili… that gets pretty expensive BUT it lasts us a full week (and with Cam’s appetite, that’s a LONG time (he ate SIX chicken patties along with 3/4 a pan of Scalloped potatos, and corn last night if that says anything)).
4 Cans of Heinz tomato stuff
1 can each: kidney, pinto, northern, and something else he can’t remember at the moment…another bean
2lbs ground beef
2lbs ground turkey
(sometimes he does 1lb ground turkey and 1lb ground pork for variety)
red pepper, chili powder, SUGAR, salt, cayenne pepper to taste (if you do this right it won’t be spicy AT ALL)
Onions (I don’t like onions, but the way Cam makes the chili I never notice the onions and they don’t bother me)
This makes one of those HUGE pots full. If you don’t want to eat on it for a full week (or more) you can freeze this is several containers. It saves for quite a while and is just as good thawed out and reheated. Actually, this chili is its best the day after it has been cooked and then reheated. The flavor really pops and I love the stuff.
Huckdoll
MMM, love chili.
Oh, make sure to drain and rinse the beans and corn in the Huckdoll recipe or it will be way too runny. I guess I should have added that
