Yum Yum: Chilies - 2 Chili Recipes



Picture taken from www.mccormick.com

Not sure how to make chili plural but chilies seemed right.  I have always made a certain chili recipe and then I went to my friends house and loved her chili.  My chili is very tomato based and hers more roux based.  My father-in-law is the real test and he asks for my chili all the time when he comes and visits.  Since my husband does like the tomato, I added a little more to the roux one.  They are both great (I do think one is a little better for you than the other).  Here are the recipes:

My Chili
2lb ground turkey
1 chopped onion
1 can red kidney beans (rinsed)
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (10 oz) Ro-tel
1 can (4.5 oz) peeled and diced tomato
1 (11.5oz) spicy V8
1 can (4 oz) diced green chili
1 (2.5 oz) package chili seasoning (I use McCormick's)

Cook beef and onion.  Combine all ingredients and put in crock pot.  Cook until hot.

Friend's Chili (my alterations in red)
2 cans red kidney beans
2 cans tomato soup
1/2 lb. bacon (cut in small pieces)
2 chopped onions
4 oz Parmesan cheese
1 TBS garlic salt
1 large can chopped tomatoes
3 lb ground beef (turkey)
1 lb ekridge sauce (cut into bite size pieces (turkey sausage)
1 can tomato sauce
1 package William's Chili Sauce
Spicy V8 until a little soupy

Fry bacon, sausage and onion in large skillet.  Drain and add all ingredients into crock pot and heat.
