Chili! Its the true American heart warming dish. But its not only for the winter or those rainy days. I love it year around even during the heat of the summer. Nothing goes better with a gathering of friends than a big pot of smoking chili!
Whether you enjoy it smoking right out of the pot the first day or several days later you just can’t go wrong with Chili. With so many different styles, meats used, veggies added, thickness, spices and everything else you can do to Chili its easy to please everybody. One thing for sure its truly American, Customizable and ENJOYABLE! After all Who does not like fantastic chili recipes?
Love of Chili is a wonderful thing. Yes that big heart warming bowl of yummy stuff just hits the spot, time and time again. No matter if its a simple bowl warmed up in the microwave the next day or fresh from the pot. Nothing hits the spot like a big bowl of Chili!
Being from the South West having Chili was a weekly event around our house. Mom had her own recipe. Dad had his favorite. All the aunts, uncles, grandparents, neighbors, friends and family all had their own twist on our staple of family dining. The choices are so over the top for chili we never could pick one we all wanted!
So many questions but the answers always led to even more questions. Things like what kind of meat do you want to use, hamburger, beef, chicken or make totally vegetarian? How about with beans or without? You going to make red or white chili? What about hot and spicy, mild yet refreshing or no heat at all. Then you got the twist & turns for the chili recipes.
Twist like adding noodles, rice, potatoes and other fillers. Then you have things like mushrooms,artichoke hearts and cauliflower. The strange things people put into their favorite chili is amazing!
Let’s not forget the sides to go with them either. I have to have good old fashion Ritz crackers and a jar of creamy peanut butter! Extra diced green onions anyone? How about shredded cheddar cheese or swiss? What about sour cream on top? Extra noodles in the bottom of the bowl or do you break up your crackers right on top? Maybe a little extra hot sauce to kick it up even more?
We all know how complicated something as simple as Chili can get! There is nothing else you can eat that is so diverse. So different from bowl to bowl, even from day to day! By the way I think the best Chili isn’t around until after the second day. Just something about letting it “grow” overnight. Something about how the juices mingle and flow, melding with the meat and spices just makes second day chili my favorite.
Nothing like snarfing down a hot bowl of Chili to get warm on a cold day. The recipes are closely guarded secrets too. I have my own chili recipes that I keep locked away too. If you want to find out more please try here for all those fabulous chili recipes.
