The Chili Recipe
\nOk, to my defense, I don’t think, “hot summer day – make chili”
\nWe did have a cold front move in for two days, making me think of the fall, and the cooler temperatures to come. That made me think of the chili. Once I have chili on the brain nothing will do but to make it, no matter the temperature.<\/p>\n
My favorite recipe comes by way of my brother in Montana. In fact, the name of the recipe is: Montana Gourmet Chili. Which is to say it has bacon in it. If you’re in Montana and you add bacon to your recipe you can, by law, call it ‘gourmet’ – but you can not call it healthy.<\/p>\n
The recipe is very simple, but takes a long time to cook and, as previously stated, it is BAD for you. If you are faint of heart do not read on. Just looking at the recipe can clog your arteries.<\/p>\n
Montana Gourmet Chili<\/p>\n
1 lb ground sausage
\n1 lb ground beef (though I use grd turkey – better flavor)
\n1 lb bacon (get the good kind – not that low fat turkey stuff)<\/p>\n
1 medium onion (gotta have your vegatables!)
\n1 green pepper ( I usually leave this out since it takes away from the meat)
\n4 15oz cans of kidney beans (or any other bean you like – black is always nice)
\n1 28oz can of chopped tomatoes<\n1 pt tomatoe juice (a 15oz can of sauce will substitue if you don't have any juice)\n\n1 heaping tbsp (might be a tsp - be careful) of Garlic Powder\n1 heaping tbsp (I know this is a tbsp) of Chili Powder\n1 heaping tbsp ground Cumin (this makes it good)\n1 regular tbsp Oregano\n2 tsp Cinamon (the 'magic' ingredient)\n2 tsp Sugar\n1 tsp Salt (add to taste)\n\nIn a large pot add the tomatoes, juice, and beans and start them simmering. Fry up the bacon then set it aside. Chop your onions (and peppers) then saute them in the bacon grease. Once the onions are done add them to the pot and crumble in the bacon. Fry up your ground meat, then crumble it into the pot. Bring it all to a boil for 40-60 min. to reduce it to the consistancy you want. Then simmer it for 2 hours, stirring every 15 min. Serve with mild sour cream and grated cheese. Enjoy.\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
