Brownies/38 recipes

It's not a secret that my neighbors Chili is a potluck fav.

Mad Mike's chili: a no-beans, all-meat Texas-style red made with cubed round steak, V8, enchilada sauce, and a mountain of chili powder. Slow simmered three hours until thick and deep.

A three-meat, no-bean chili loaded with ground beef, pork, and hot Italian sausage simmered with Mexican beer and V8 juice. Florida-style heat that feeds a crowd.

Unsweetened chocolate melts into butter and sugar for intensely fudgy brownies that bake in just 18 minutes at high heat.

Chewy butterscotch brownies (blondies) made with dark brown sugar, butter, pecans, and shredded coconut. No chocolate needed. Rich, caramel-scented, and baked in one pan. Makes 18 squares.
