Best Tasting Chili

Now I live in Texas were chili is a staple in a good cooks recipe book.  I am confident that my chili is one of the best according to my tastebuds but also my extended family's tastebuds.  Over the years I have tried many different things, adding pork (not my style), different kinds of beans (some good some really bad, lol), and different spices (which can get really out of hand, "smile").  I like to make a big pot of chili so throughout the week me and the wife can do different things like chili dogs or like last night chili-cheeseburgers, mmmmmm!!!!  Well enough rambling here is the recipe you have all been looking for, promise!

Ingredients:
2 Green Bell Peppers (chopped)
1 Yellow Red or Orange Bell Pepper (medium chop)
1 Large Yellow Onion (medium chop)
1 28 oz Can of Stewed Tomatoes (not the cheap kind mid priced)
1 14 oz Can of Tomato Sauce (again not the cheap kind mid priced)
1 14 oz can of Black Beans
3 Tbsp of Minced Garlic (fresh or jar)
2 Larger cans of Diced Green Chile
2 Lbs of 93% Groud Chuck or Sirloin
10 Tbsp of Chile Powder (rule of thumb 5Tbsp of Powder for Every LB. of meat)

In a pot brown the Garlic, Onion and Ground meat over high medium heat, drain.  Then add the Green Chile's to the mix while stirring for a minute or two.  Then add Bell Pepper and let them sweat for another minute or two.  Next add all the other ingredients except the chile powder, stir, and let them sit till it bubbles just a bit.  Then add the Chile Powder and stir it all in very good.  Bring it to a boil and let simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours on low medium heat making sure to stir it every once in a while, then let cool for 20 minutes.  Serve with Fritos and Medium Cheddar over top of it, Frito Pie Style.  Well I hope this chili journey can be strolled by someone but if not I will cook another one in the next two weeks or so, while its still cold.  This will put a warm spot in your heart.

Trailer Park Jambalaya

Theres nothing wrong with a trailer I grew up in one the name just came to me while I was eating it, lol.  So one day I come home from work to be stumped once again, "what to fix for dinner".  The Wife and I do not have much time on the weekdays after we get home from work so we always try to do something quick and easy, but tasty.  So I have created the quickest, not so traditional, but tasty Jambalaya.  Well thats what i call it because it taste pretty close to it once it is all nice and delicious.  So to get started the ingredients:

1 lb of Holmes Pecan Smoked Andouille Sausage
1 Onion chopped
1 Green Bellpepper Chopped
1 Can of Rotel Original
2 Cans of Chicken Breast (drained)
1 tbsp of Tony's
1 Can of Bush's Black Beans
3 Dashes of Louisiana Hot Sauce

Brown the Sausage, Onion, and Bellpepper, then add the rest of the ingredients and bring it all to a boil in a pot, let simmer for about 10 minutes, and serve over white rice or brown rice.  I prefer the brown rice it gives it the more original feel to the meal. 

Well I hope this recipe reaches someone and can give them that good ole Louisiana feel without all the hassle and work.
