Title: Made some chili last night
Post by: OU812 on March 03, 2011, 06:01:11 AM
So the volunteer fire dept is havin a chili feed tonight and guess who got volunteered to make some chili.

Seein that my son is a volunteer there I said you get the stuff and I'll make it.

I was a slavin away before I thought about takin some pictures.  ::)

Got every thing in the pot but the liquids.

It may not be chili but it sure is some great looking caldillo de hamburguesa y frijoles (spicy stew of hamburger and beans).

'Spicy Meat & Bean Soup' works for me!

Chili here has beans as well, and optional 'oil' if you want a extra dose of hamburger grease floating on top..

The Chili looks great. The beans are a must in my area as well If you want to add meat that is optional  :) and you then have to call it Chili con Carne.

Sounds great!

I hope you have some help to move that roaster!   I made a roaster full for a chili cookoff last year, and I was afraid the handles were going to shear off......

Remember that warm melted cheese and chili dip that everyone made all the time?  I dumped an entire pot full of that in the floorboard of my car one sub zero night.  I had to chip it out the next morning and my car smelled like chili cheese dip until Spring! :D

The company I worked for at one time had a tradition of starting on the first work day of December and going to the last working day before Christmas Eve, someone or someones would bring in something to share with the office.  We called it "The December Pig Out.  When it was my turn, I got permission to come in 11:00 AM that morning.  I made a 5 quart Crockpot of my chili.....chili grind beef and all.  I double parked out front...ran the chili up to the 8th floor and plugged it in...jumped back in the car and drove to the parking lot two blocks from my building in downtown D.C...quick stepped back to the office...as I get off the elevator back on the 8th floor...I see to my left a coworker with the Crockpot insert scraping the last morsel into a bowl...I was gone no more then 15 minutes...I was told it was VERY tasty...I could only take their word for it!!!  Well, someone DID wash the insert out and left it for me with a "Please refill." note inside...NO I DID NOT!!!   ;D
