We had over 40 entries! What a blessing to know so many of you love your pastors! We love them, too! I've enjoyed hearing from you. I am so glad you are staying in touch with all of our KAXL happenings!<br /><br />We are looking forward to the Salvation Army Chili Contest on March 1st!Now it's time to share our favorite chili recipes. Mine is one I received from Shelly Balzer when I was a newlywed. It's been altered a little through the years, I've made it mine. It's mild but it's perfect for chilly winter nights. Let me know how you like it!<br /><br />Dump Chili<br />1 pound ground beef (browned)<br />1 purple onion, chopped fine (fry onion with ground beef)<br />2 Tablespoons chili powder (optional)<br />(You can use any combination of your favorite beans -- these are my favorites!)<br />1 large can of chili beans<br />1 large can of kidney beans<br />1 large can of pinto beans<br />1 large can of Hormel chili<br />1 large can of Bush's baked beans<br />1 large can of stewed tomatoes<br />1 small can of tomatoe paste or sauce (if using paste, more water will be needed)<br />1 package of dry chili mix seasoning<br />Use one of the empty bean cans, fill up with water at least once. You may need to use one and a half times cans of water. Dump all ingredients into a crock pot early in the morning. Simmer on low all day. Serve with saltine crackers, grated cheese, spaghetti noodles and (of course) cornbread!<br />Please send me YOUR favorite chili recipes!<br />Blessings and prayers,<br />SherylSheryl Giesbrechthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12019356442539970193noreply@blogger.com
