Chili

Find Mr. Hogg's chile mix go on line they have a web sit. Then instead of using burger, or chucks of chuck, slice the chuck very thin. Chile is ready in under an hour and like all chile is best the next day.

What's the Best Mac and Cheese Cheese?

I have a version that uses raclette, along with the classic items of pickled onion, dill pickle, and a little diced potatoe. Try it.

We make burgers (and converts along the way) with 50/50 ground sirloin and ground chuck. Serve with dill relish or hamburger dill slices, toasted buns and our favorite homemade catsup. Easy, make ahead sauce that our friends love. You can find it here.

Chili

This recipe won 3rd place in a contest years ago. It is very spicy, but I assume that is what we make chili for anyway.

2 pkg beefy onion soup mix
1/2 tsp garlic powder
5 lb ground beef & pork 1/2 & 1/2, brown meat, drain grease
1 C crisco
46 oz tomato juice
5 T chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
8 oz hot picante sauce
2 tsp crushed red pepper
1 T black pepper
32 oz red beans

Simmer as long as you want, but add the beans just before servomg/
This is as dictated to me by my brother-in-law, who was the 3rd place winner. Personally, I would omit the crisco, but some people think chili needs some grease. I also use more garlic (lots). Also I think V-8 juice is tastier than the tomato juice. Any kind of bean can be added, and corn is also a great way to stretch.

Chili

I think the MUST ingredient in chili is ground cumin. My "recipe" is similar to those above, ground chuck, chicken or stew meat (takes longer), onions, finely diced green pepper, garlic, tomato paste, fire roasted tomatoes, V-8, kidney beans, chili powder. I've added lots of other ingredients as experiments - loved some, hated others, but I've included the basics.

I've never tasted a canned chili.

What's the Best Mac and Cheese Cheese?

I'm in the predominately cheddar group w/ the rest being whatever I have on hand,including cream cheese. I'm in the bacon camp and I also like diced onion or jalepeno,cherry or grape tomatoes.The topping?I've hit on the devilish combo of 1/2 breadcumbs,1/2 CHEEZ-ITS ground up together in the food proceesor.And yes they're buttered.I dont make this too often since it can kill you.
