2-2½lbs ground beef ¾-1lb jumbo elbow macaroni
5 cans (15.5 oz. size) Brook’s Hot Chili Beans 2 cans (29 oz. size) Tomato Sauce
3 pkgs Hot Chili Seasoning Mix 1 large pkg shredded cheese (any kind)
1 pkg oyster crackers cayenne Pepper (optional)

1. Brown the beef & drain. Cook the macaroni as according to the package. Combine & mix up the tomato sauce, beef, macaroni, Chili Beans, & seasoning mix in crockpot or in a pot on stove on medium to medium-high heat. Stir occasionly. To spice it up even more add a few tbsp of cayenne pepper during cooking. Will take around 20-30 mintues.
2. When warm set crock pot to low to keep warm. Have the crackers, shredded cheese, & Frank’s hot sauce (for those brave souls) out so people can top their chili.

Sweet & Hearty Chili

Saturday Mar 29, 2008

Submitted by TheRob

1 lb ground sirloin 1 lb ground beef
½ lb thick cut bacon 1 pkg mild or hot chili season mix
1 pkg Original Chili season mix 1-16 oz can Red Beans (or chili beans)
2-16 oz cans Seasoned Diced tomato sauce salt & pepper
paprika chipotle hot sauce (optional)
hot sauce ¼ c. sugar
¼ c. dark brown sugar

1. Add red beans & tomatoes to a large pot. Set to low. Brown ground sirloin in a skillet on medium-high. Add salt & pepper to season. Just a little bit, be sensible.
2. Now is the good part. Take a couple of pinches of your sugar & add to the browning sirloin. Do the same with the brown sugar. If there is a good amount of fat/grease, drain. Leave a little to help with the chili mix.
3. Add the Original Chili season mix to the ground sirloin. Add to the pot with red beans & tomatoes.
4. In a skillet, brown the ground beef. Once again add salt & pepper, pinches of brown & regular sugar.
5. Take chipotle hot sauce & regular hot sauce & add a couple of shakes around the browning beef. (How much you add here determines the real hotness of the chili. None to little for just a sweet & mild chili or more for sweet & hot, & a good amount like me for the real sweet & fire in your mouth!!)
6. Keep the fat/grease & add to pot with red beans, tomatoes, & ground sirloin. Add mild/hot chili seasoning. Slice the bacon into smaller bite sized pieces.
7. In skillet take the thick sliced bacon pieces & cook in previous fat/grease that is left & the seasoning. As the bacon is cooking, add the rest of the sugars to the pot with everything else. When the bacon is finished, add to pot & let simmer.
8. Enjoy with saltine crackers.
