ALL AMERICAN COUNTY FAIR PRIZE WINNING CHILI

Steps:

• Put ALL ingredients in a pot and cook for 5 to 10 hours.
• Stir occasionally.
• Put the chili and jalapeno peppers in last with their stems sticking up out of the chili. This makes them easy to remove for those who don't want their chili hot!
• The ingredients list is enough to make 2 pots worth (dutch oven size).
• I usually omit the meat from one pot and make a vegetarian batch at the same time. It's good for your vegan friends and as lighter fare for lunch!
• **All amounts are approximate. Use what is convenient, available and adjust to taste.
• **The meat can go into the pot raw with all the other ingredients. It will cook right along with them and be more flavourful and tender as a result - especially the steak. I am so happy you like this chili! Thank you for the great reviews! Enjoy!

ALL AMERICAN CHILI CHEESE BURGER DOG

Steps:

• 1. Slice your wieners across ways. Season your meat as you normally would, divide meat into number of equal portions for the number of burgers you plan to cook.
• 2. Now the tricky part. I thought these cow patties would good together just like normal, wrong!! They apparently have an adverse reaction to the wieners. They don't particularly want to hold together. Not wanting to add an egg, I did manage to manipulate one burger together, and added more wieners to it once I got it shaped.
• 3. The other ones, I cut each burger portion in half, made a patty, added the wieners on top, then made another patty and covered the first one. Hence, the wieners were inside like you would put cheese inside two patties. If you use this method, be sure to seal the edges all the way around.
• 4. Grill your burger to perfection, depending on your taste. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/beef/flame-broiled-burger.html?p=1
