Directions

* Cut this up into 1/2 inch chunks. It's not recommended to use more than 1 lb because it'll make it taste like spaghetti sauce.

** Drain and reserve 1/2 of the liquid to mix with the corn meal *** These things just add the "Zing" and not much full bodied flavor. That is what the wine and other things do for it.

In a large pot, brown the beef, pork, onions and garlic over medium heat.

After the above is browned, add the bell pepper and the smoked sausage.

Cook for 5 to 10 more minutes.

Reduce heat to low (and drain most of the fat)

Blend in the tomatoes and spices and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Stir in the drained beans. In a small bowl, mix the bean liquid with the corn meal until it's like pancake patter.

Mix the "batter" into the chili and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or MORE.

(Some people simmer their batch for about 2 hours, so use your judgement on this.)

Sprinkle with Mozzarella or Gouda cheese and serve with sourdough bread.

Or, make a Chili sandwich with a good sourdough roll.

For best taste, freeze the result to "cure" the mix!

Thaw, heat and serve.

Thankingsgiving - Turning The Bland Into Brilliant

by Josh Khan

Everyone thinks the Christmas holidays is the only time period where you pack on pounds because of food. This statement may be true when you look at other holidays like Easter, St. Patrick’s Day and New Year’s Eve, but what about Thanksgiving?...

Jerky Home Style

you might try liquid hickery smoke sold at any food store instead of hickery salt also if you have a older oven with a pilot light that should be enough heat to do the job in 8 hours.
