As Promised- Bobby's Delicious Chili


As promised, here is Bobby's delicious chili recipe.

There's nothing extraordinary about the ingredients, and it's not hard to put together, BUT sometimes the simple things are the best. Yes, that was a little cheesy- it just so happens to be true in this case.

My vision for you, if you make it, is this....

Cold day outside- possible gloomy, depending on where you live
No obligations to tend to 
You have time to spend with people you care about
Possibly a good movie or catching up on your recorded shows you have waiting
A yummy fall candle burning
Sit peaceful, don't devour, but enjoy every. single. bite.


Those "ingredients" make this already de-lish chili, taste even more heavenly.


Ingredients

2 Cans of Diced Tomatoes

2 Cans of Chili Beans- Whatever kind you like. We use "Bush's" Chili Beans

1 Can of Corn

24 ounces Guinness Stout- For Flavor. Alcohol burns out.

1 large handful of Cilantro

2-3 Jalapenos

2 Potatoes- We use the big russet potatoes

4-5 Chicken Breasts

Side: Cheddar Cheese
Tortilla Chips
Corn Bread

How To

You can use a crock pot or a large pot over the stove.
A crock pot takes a little longer to cook, but leaves your home smelling wonderful the whole day. Using a pot over the stove top is quicker.
Whatever your fancy!


1) Defrost the Chicken
-You may want to take it out to defrost a little while before your desired start time, otherwise the process could take a little longer.

2) Pour in the Guinness, Diced Tomatoes, Corn, and Chili Beans start
on a Low Heat
-We always do those first, because they are so easy to just throw right in.

4) Chop up the cilantro, jalapenos, potatoes, and chicken how you like them- whatever you prefer.
Then throw them in the pot!

5) Once all of the ingredients are in and stirred, turn to medium-medium/high heat,
and let it simmer until cooked.

Crock Pot: 2 Hours
Stove Top: 1 Hour


6) Dish Up and Enjoy!



I love my chili with lots of cheddar cheese (I mean lots) and tortilla chips.
Bobby loves his with cheese and cornbread.

What do you like?

Just writing this out makes me crave a bowl!
If you try it, let me know what you think!

Chili outside, chili in my belly- perfect combo!
