It's Chili Time!

The leaves are turning, and the air is crisp in the morning. I love fall! And what I love about it even more than changing leaves and crisp air is the food. I love fall baking, cinnamon, nutmeg, anything with pumpkin in it. I also love that the slight chill in the air means that it's time for hearty soups and chili.

I have a big pot of George's Chili simmering on the stove.
George is my wonderful Stepdad who I adore and who makes killer chili.

Brown and drain ground sirloin
Chop one medium onion
Chop one clove of garlic
Chop two large jalapenos
Chop one bell pepper
Add crushed tomatoes
Add chili beans medium or hot
Add chili powder
Simmer for two and a half hours

What follows are several chili based meals we've made with George's Chili.
Chili with a side salad and a baguette
Chili on mashed potatoes
Chili with cheddar and sour cream
Chili with a grilled cheese sandwich
Chili and cheddar smothered hot dog
Chili on scrambled eggs
