| 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.

|
½ large onion |
| 6 large potatoes |
|
1 can tomato soup |
| 1 can corn, drained |
|
2 tbsp butter |
| ½ c. milk |
|

Peel your potatoes & put them on to boil. While they’re cooking, dice up the onion & cook it & the hamburger in a deep frying pan. Once the hamburger & onion is completely cooked, add the can of corn & can of tomato soup & mix well. Put the hamburger mixture into a pre-greased casserole dish & set aside. Heat your oven to 425°F.
Once the potatoes are cooked (20 – 30 minutes), mash them up & add however much butter, milk, salt & pepper that you like in your mashed potatoes. You could also add garlic. Once your mashed potatoes are done, spoon them evenly over the top of the casserole. Dab the potatoes with a bit of melted butter & put your dish in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes until the soup is bubbling up the side.
