What's for Dinner

[Kathianne]

It's cold here, about 50. Anyways it's put me in the mood for cooking. Now making Chili and Crockpot Ravioli. I'll have at least 2 weeks meals in my freezer!

Both call for browned ground beef, so a leg up on not taking too much time.

I browned the ground round all at once, adding onion and garlic, even though the chili recipe doesn't call for garlic. Can never have too much garlic! Vampires have not bothered me, ever!

Soup & chicken salad sandwiches tonite. We'll probably get snow tonight again, so I might make either some chili or some jambalaya tomorrow. Dunno what mood I'll be in yet.

Since moving to Sedona I haven't been able to find "Brooks Chili Hot Beans" which was main base for my chili. After trying some of the beans they do offer, I've given up on my standby chili recipe. Thus returning to finding some recipes that use other types of beans.

I made this white chili recipe a couple weeks ago, really good but took a lot of time.

Sweet, what a coincidence, I made chili for dinner tonight! Used bison beef, onions, tomato sauce & assorted spices. Let the yumminess sit in the crock pot for about 4 hours. First time trying the bison for chili. I used it before to make burgers and they were MUCH better than regular.

Bison is really tasty and often cheaper here than ground sirloin. I doubt true in the Midwest, but works for me in AZ.

Damn, what I get here is like 2x as expensive as the regular ground beef I would get. But it's worth it, the flavor is so much better.

Couldn't help myself. In the past hour I threw in a cup and half of white corn and a package of chopped spinach. So much fiber, good thing I'm not working tomorrow! LOL!

I just buy dark red kidney beans for chili. And I cheat and use chili fixins in a bag (I'm lazy).....but if I have to make it from scratch, I just use whatever seasonings I have in the pantry. I tend to like Wendy's chili, so my chili isn't the traditional kind. More tomatoes, beans, etc. But that's how I like it. Oh, and with shredded raw onion and lots of grated cheddar on top!

Snow on the ground here, freezing all week....I opted for the jambalaya with red kidney beans and chicken and cheese. Comfort food!

I sat at a wrestling meet all day today ( WE WON ) so we're having left over beef stew from last night. The truly great thing about stew is that it's even better the next day.

Good Luck to y'all

If you checked out my OP, the chili recipe was a Wendy's hack. I did use the red kidney beans and also pinto beans. After a couple hours decided to add another can of red kidney beans and a package of baby spinach and some corn. I started out with the spice recommendations, though I did add garlic to the meat while browning. Before adding additional beans and veggies, I upped the chili powder, added cumin, and some hot sauce. I like spicy.
