cold day, hot food

Good combo.

wow! sounds yummy! .. i feel like making me some ..

Both kinds sound interesting.

I can't make chili, but I know what I like. I like it a little thick and really spicy. My husband makes wonderful chili.

I would never put corn in chili. I try to make it soupy, though it never turns out that way. I'm from Wisconsin and we make it different here from anywhere else in the US. In fact I've had people tell me - Oh, you're from Wisconsin, aren't you? I start out by cooking the elbow noodles. While that's cooking I will get the ground beef cooked to look like it does for sloppy joes. Drain, add one or two cans of kidney beans, dice up one or two onions, depending on size. Add one of the following - I've tried this several ways - I've used regular tomato sauce - large can with a large can of tomato soup, I've also used spaghetti sauce traditional - nothing added to it. I will also add a can of tomato soup to it. When the noodles are ready I add all the above to a large pot or crock pot. No matter how I try to make it a small batch, it comes up large. To this I will add a large can or two of water and add chili powder. The last time I made it I used the entire bottle of chili powder. It wasn't hot. That's how much I had. It was perfect. Even my kids said it was good, not perfect, but they could taste the fact I put chili powder in it. I've also used whole canned tomatoes and stewed tomatoes with it. However, the last time I made it was with the spaghetti sauce and I loved it.

We make ours with like you but we use ground beef and we put corn in too.

with corn sounds southwestern style,definetly. i make mine pretty much like yours,with a bit more herbs,red and black beans,green bell pepper,black olives,cheddar cheese if i've got it..

Chili is a favorite here. We will be having this today and tomorrow.

I don't actually make beef chili too often -- we ate it so often growing up. I prefer the cheap, canned beef chili, I know, isn't that odd? I do make a chicken chili though. It's chicken, navy beans, black beans tomatoes and spices. Sometimes I add cream soup to make it tamer

sounds very good, Hot foods good for cold weather.

Great day for soup and chili beans. Keeps your blood warm and makes you feel so cozy. I made some vegetable soup today. It was awesome. I used crushed tomatoes, tomatoe paste and different varities of vegatables. like to eat grill cheese with soap and chili beens . it completes the meal.
