Easy Recipes For Those Who Like To Cook and Bake

Crock Pot Cincinnati Chili

by 2 Comments

I have been traveling all over the country for the last 3 months and my good friend Krista, from Everyday Mom’s Meals has offered to share her favorite chili recipe with you. We met online many years ago and have been foodie friends ever since! I think you will love Krista’s recipes as much as we do!

Krista lives in Northwest Indiana with her husband of almost 15 years and their two adorable sons, 13-year-old Alex and 1 1/2-year-old Max. 

Everyday Mom’s Meals is a food blog for everyone from the novice cook to experienced home chef. Krista focuses on simple, family-friendly recipes to bring people around the dinner table. 

Krista says: The recipe I am sharing with you today was inspired by my oldest. He absolutely loves the chili at Skyline Chili. If you have never been or heard of it, Cincinnati Chili is a little different than you’re run of the mill chili. It has some unique flavors that keep you coming back for more and more. 

 

 

 

 

Until last summer, the closest Skyline to us was 2 hours away in Indianapolis. But then an amazing thing happened, they opened one in our hometown. You can imagine how excited he was! However, just because we have one 5 minutes from our house, doesn’t mean we can go whenever we want, after all, we are still on a budget, and diapers aren’t cheap! 

So, mom to the rescue! I researched a bunch of recipes, the history of the chili itself and came up with a delicious make- at-home version that the whole family loves. The boy claims it is SOOOOO close to the original, and it has quickly become a favorite in our house. 

Thanks for letting me share a little piece of my family with you. I hope if you try this recipe your crew loves it as much as mine,

Hello Everyone,

This is Alyssa from Cooking From A SAHM https://www.facebook.com/CookingFromASAHM. I offered to do a guest post for Nettie while she is away helping a friend. So glad I can help others.Today I’m bringing my Chili cheese tots!!! These are soo good! They are good for kids and adults alike! Don’t believe me? Try em!

So today I bring you my

 

Chili Cheese Tots

1-2 lbs of Hamburger

(depends on how many are in your family)

1 Small Can Tomato Sauce

1/4 C Water

1 Packet of Chili seasoning

2 Tsp Chili Powder

2 Tsp Cumin

1 tsp pepper

1 Bag of Or Ida Tater Tots

1 Small box of Velveeta Cheese

1 C Milk

1 Orange Pepper

1 Green Pepper

1 1/2 Cups Frito’s semi Crushed

1/2 C Chopped Green Scallion

 

Brown your hamburger. Then add tomato sauce, water, chili seasoning, chili powder, cumin and pepper. Put it in a casserole dish or pie plate. Set aside. Take Velveeta and cube it. Put it in a pan with your milk. Cook and whisk till cheese has melted and made a cheese sauce. If it is to thin then just add about 1 tsp flour. Whisk till all smooth. Cut your peppers and onions and set them aside.

In your casserole dish put your tater tots on top of the hamburger chili mix. I did most of a bag. Make sure they are not piled so they can cook evenly.  Now pour your cheese sauce over the top of your tater tots. Top it with semi crushed Frito’s, green peppers and green onion. Bake it for about a half hour to 45 minutes. You want to make sure the tater tots are cooked through. Nothing worse then a frozen tater tot. LOL

BIG POT O’ CHILI

by 6 Comments

BIG POT O' CHILI

Chili should be full of beans and beef with lots of onions. Then it should be covered in cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped onions and some avocado, just thought I would let you in on one of my secrets!

The weather really started to cool down, so I thought a Big Pot O’ Chili would be wonderful with home made cornbread piping hot out of the oven….. sounds good huh???

I had seen The Pioneer Woman make her famous chili and had to give it a try, we all loved it. Perfect amount of spice, but you can always lick it up a notch with a couple drops of Cholula like I do.

Don’t forget all of the toppings! Great for parties, just put it all in a crockpot on low, let your guests enjoy!
