Grandkids and Chili...

I just enjoyed singing, "I love you a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck..." to my granddaughter while cuddling and rocking.  Even with her two year old tantrums, she is so precious! I'm going to enjoy every moment with her until we head back home in two days. I won't see her again until Christmas.  But we will get to host our daughter and grandson for two weeks in December.  Can't wait!


Today's Recipe - Calico Chili
This is a recipe that I developed and tweaked over the years.  It is a cold weather favorite.

1 lb. hamburger
1/2 medium onion, diced
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
large can cut tomatoes
1 can each of pinto beans, black beans, red kidney beans, white navy beans (drained and rinsed)
7 oz can diced green chiles
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cumin
2 heaping tablespoons chili powder
1 cup frozen corn kernels
2 shakes Tabasco
water or chicken broth to cover above ingredients

Mix all the ingredients and cook in a dutch oven or crock pot.  Serve with cornbread or chili fixin's - Fritos, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, sliced black olives, sour cream, avocado, cilantro and shredded cheddar cheese.
