WELCOME, ALL HUNGRY READERS

So this recipe blog is for any and all that can't seem to decide what to make for dinner each day. Maybe you're tired of the same old, or you don't have enough dishes in your recipe portfolio. This is a great way to share meal ideas in a quick and easy way. Keep it simple, and try to measure things out for the sake of those trying to re-create the dish. No filet mignon or anything too fancy to feed to a 2-year old. And keep it affordable. If you can, post a picture of the finished recipe - it's always better to see what you want your dish to resemble. And if you want to be added on to the list of blog authors so that you can share a delicious recipe of your own, just post a comment with your e-mail info. Bon appetite!

Accidentally Good Chili

I kinda made this chili with a lot of luck. I was trying to make some really good chili, but I didn't have any recipes for it. I took some elements from Summer's turkey taco soup (which is very tasty, by the way) and then threw in some other stuff and prayed (I really did say a prayer so that I could feed my hungry husband something good) that it would turn out good. It was so yummy! If you like chili, I'm sure you'll like this - a little spicy, but not too much. Easton gobbled it up!

Accidentally Good Chili
Feeds a lot or good for leftovers

You will need:

1 large can diced tomatoes (28 0z)
2 regular cans Rosarita vegetarian refried beans
1 reg. can pinto beans, drained
1 reg. can kidney beans, drained
1 reg. can spicy chili beans, undrained
1 lb ground beef (more or less depending on how much meat you like)
3-4 cups water
1/2 package Lawry's taco seasoning
1 package ranch dip
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp paprika
2 tsp salt or to taste
pepper to taste
cheddar cheese

In a large pot brown ground beef in some garlic powder and onion powder (don't measure, just eyeball it). When meat is cooked add the full can of diced tomatoes, pinto beans, chili beans, and kidney beans. Actually, just dump everything in, and stir until refried beans dissolve into the mixture. Simmer for a little bit, probably about 30 minutes or until flavors have blended together. Add salt if needed or more garlic or onion powder for extra flavor. Also, add acouple handfuls of cheese and mix in. Serve with cheese or your favorite chili toppings.
