Chili

Shared by Rachel

This is one of my favorite recipes to make on a cold winter day. You throw it in the crock pot and just let it cook. It tastes just as good the second and third day as leftovers.

2 medium onions, chopped fine
1-1 1/2 pounds of lean ground beef or turkey
Saute until onions are done....drain fat away

Add to the above mixture....

3/4 cup chopped green peppers
1/4 tsp beaumonde(by Spice Islands)
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 to 1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp seasoned salt
1 tbsp chili powder (I usually put about 1/2 tbsp more for more spice)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (or 1 minced garlic clove)
16 to 32 oz. canned tomatoes
8 oz. tomato sauce
1 can corn
32 oz. beans, drained (can be kidney, pinto, great northern, your choice)
1 bottle beer (different brands give the chili different flavor, we like to add Corona)
OPTIONAL: 1 tbsp brown sugar
*You can also add jalapeno peppers or hot sauce if you like your chili really hot.

Combine all ingredients and simmer about an hour on the stove or in the crock pot.

Pattys chicken and rice casserole - Shared by Sky

My mother in law gave us this recipe a long time ago. It is a constant in our dinner rotation. I usually serve with canned green beans for an easy kick back dinner night.

I do not add the pimentos, but I add a can of sliced, drained mushrooms instead.
