Croc full of chili going. It smells good in here! I love making chili. This is the first time I did

[brewens]

my own beans instead of using canned chili beans. I just guessed on compensating for the loss of the chili sauce the beans are packed in. I just threw in a can of tomato sauce and a little extra chili powder. Taste test seems to be the same as I'm used to with this recipe.

3. Nothing Like Chili, Sir

It's all good, unless it comes out of a can labeled Hormel.

5. Last winter I vowed to never buy another can of soup or chili. I had already been making my own

chicken noodle and chili. I made a great batch of ham and navy bean. Split pea and ham is up next. Then I'll try tomato. Probably a vegetable coming soon too.

I've been on a diet for some time. Counting calories and nutrition alerted me to how worthless some of the canned crap is. Homemade is so much better and a actually makes a light meal that holds you for awhile.

8. Great Winter Soups, Sir

Allow me to recommend butter beans with a bit of bacon, and some ketchup and molasses. Ham will do as well as bacon for this. Not so much a soup as a bowl of beans in the sauce.

4. You're making chili in a croc? Won't that taste funny?

Or...did you mean this:



Or...this?

(if it's this, it'll definitely taste funny)

7. A line from and old Sinatra flick was, "The inside of my mouth tastes like the outside of a

crocodile." Of course when they were badly hung over. I'll pass on the croc soup I think.

10. I remember "my mouth tastes like a cat slept in it"

I guess it could be worse ...

9. Yummm. Chili always reminds me of my college days: inexpensive, delish cafeteria food, that I would

top with cheese, onions, crackers, sour cream, and any of the other condiments that would help make it a hearty lunch. It was about the only thing I could afford.

11. I'm making chili today, too.

Good plan, Stan. I'm doing a Hatch chili. If you don't know what those are you should look them up. Wonderful flavor and you can actually get them in a can now. As well as Hatch enchilada sauce. But I digress. Brown up some chopped pork sirloin, or similar, with onions and garlic. Add tomatoes, chilies, spices, your favorite broth, and chopped up potatoes. Crock pot for a few hours. Mmmm, smells so good and will feed 2 for several days.

Good luck tomorrow, y'all. Stay safe.
