Cowboy chili/5 recipes

Andouille was a great favorite in nineteenth-century New Orleans. This thick Cajun sausage is made with lean pork and pork fat and lots of garlic. Sliced about 1/2 inch thick and greilled, it makes a delightful appetizer. It is also used in a superb oyster and andouille gumbo poplular in Laplace, a Cajun town about 30 miles fromNew Orleans that calls itself the Andouille Capital of the World.

Mouth-watering chicken and savory dumplings cooked in the convenience of your crockpot.

My take on a famous hot dog topping.

This delicious Texas chili is a delicious one-pot meal. Chunks of succulent beef and beans are simmered in a well seasoned tomato sauce. Serve it with a few slices of crusty bread or steamed rice. It warms you up within a minute.

Enjoy your Sundays with this tantalizing and scrumptious roast that is meat-free!

This is a Texas style red chili. Texas chili has no tomatoes but more importantly NO BEANS! Some of the ingredients I used, like the chocolate and the granulated chicken broth in lieu of salt, are non-traditional but I like the flavor it adds.
