Seriously. This is some serious chili making my friends! After living here in our beautiful new city for six months, we decided it was finally time to be social and invite some people over. The dilemma we were facing was who to invite? Well, a month ago we held our first informal dinner and literally just invited everyone we knew. It went so well (and the lasagna was delicious) that we decided to do it again for an October themed dinner of chili, corn muffins and pumpkin pie. Again, we sent out a random Facebook invite to everyone we knew- and then the RSVP’s started coming, with a few maybe’s thrown in for good measure. I was unsure exactly how much chili I should make- but I did know that I wanted to have three different varieties on hand. I wanted a standard beef and bean chili, a white chicken chili, and my pumpkin black bean chili made vegetarian for anyone who is so inclined.
The white chili was easy enough- I doubled the recipe, prepared it in a large pot, and then threw it in my largest crockpot to stay piping hot for guests. The vegetarian chili I knew I would need less of, so that one I kept on the stovetop- I just needed to remember to stir it from time to time. It was the beef and bean that was giving me trouble. I just knew I was going to need a vast quantity available as it would be the most popular.
Mom to the rescue! A couple of years ago my mom was cooking an occasional lunch for hungry high school students. One of her biggest hits was a vat of chili, and when she heard about my chili dinner offered up both her 18 quart Nesco roaster and the recipe for chili to fill it. Yes, you read that right- 18 quarts of chili.
This was so easy! I had to brown the beef ahead of time, as well as dice the onions and peppers and mince the garlic. but other than that, this was a can opening affair, and the Nesco roaster did all the work for me. I tweaked the recipe to suit my tastes, but really didn’t stray too far from what Mom had done originally. The chili was really good. It was very mild, but we provided hot sauces for anyone so inclined to add some heat. All it needed was a sprinkle of cheese and a dollop of sour cream to finish it off. I plan to make this again in another month or so when we need to prepare a dish for Abigail and Zander’s Nutcracker this year.
Here is my adaptation of Mom’s recipe. You really can change it up any way you want, feel free to be flexible with it. I really contemplated using diced beef roast instead of ground, but when I went to do my shopping, the roasts were really fatty looking and not too appealing. I filled the roaster and we only had 1 gallon of this chili left when all was said and done. (Not to mention half of both the other chilies were gone as well!) It was a great time, and now I need to come up with something as crowd-pleasing for the next gathering!

Wait, which little sis is this? Rachel would definitely plan to make her own chili dinner ASAP. Lizzie would post this, but it says 9:54 am when Lizzie would be sleeping…
Hmm. I guess one wouldn’t eat much chili in 81 degree Hawaii!

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

The blue salt trick for men sounds intriguing—especially with all
the buzz it’s getting online. If it really helps with
energy, stamina, or hormone support as some claim, it could be
a game-changer for a lot of guys. Of course, I’d want to see
real results and science behind it before jumping in. Has anyone actually tried it and noticed a difference?
