Craig's Superbowl Chili Recipe!

Craig Fox
Print PDF

chili-craigThis is my own recipe. I like it. Some of my friends like it, some love it. . . some, not-so-much...'cause I make it very spicy. You try it, if it's a hit, tell everyone it's my recipe. . . if they hate it. . . then it was yours, sorry, but that's the deal. I don't put beans in my chili. I don't like beans, I won't use them, but since some people argue that it's not chili without the beans, I've listed them in the recipe. Warning. . . this is a two-day recipe. You can't make it today to eat today. Don't try that. Honest. Start it today, finish tomorrow.

Here's what you need to buy:

1 can of kidney beans (optional)
1 can of crushed tomatos
1 can or jar of tomato sauce
1 jar of chili sauce
1 jar of salsa
1 package of chili seasoning
5 cloves of garlic crushed
2 large onions
1 orange pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 green pepper
1 tablespoon of tobasco
salt and pepper
1 pound of ground beef
1 pound of ground pork
5 sausages. . . I prefer mexican, but italian will work.

I also like to have a large block of aged cheddar cheese handy at serving time.

Today, cut up all the vegetables. . . Leave 'em kinda chunky. In a large pot, maybe a 5 quart or even an 8 quart if you have one, combine a cup of water, the tomato sauce, the crushed tomatoes, the chili sauce, the salsa, the chili seasoning, the garlic and the onions. . . Stir it good as you bring that to a boil, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the orange, yellow and red peppers and the tobasco. This is when i also cut a few jalapenos up and toss them in and then shake a little extra tobasco in. . . And then a little more. Now at this point what you would have is a decent paint thinner. . . Don't try to eat it. . . Trust me on this. Let it cook nice and slow for an hour or so and then take it off and put it in the fridge until tomorrow morning.

First thing in the morning tomorrow, brown the ground beef, the ground pork and the sausages, which you'll cube and toss all of it in the pot with the rest of the works. Put it back on the stove on low for about 4 or 5 hours, stir it occasionally and make sure it's not burning to the bottom.

At some point during the day, grate the cheddar into another bowl and there you have it. . . Around kick off time you serve it up with lots of shredded cheddar cheese on top. . . lots!

Reasons To Celebrate Groundhog Day

groundhog-day• Forecast is no less reliable than Environment Canada.
• Valentine’s Day is too depressing for nerds.
• It’s fun to say ‘Punxsutawney’.
• It’s also fun to say ‘Wee Willie’ without being derogatory.
• It’s also fun to say ‘Gobbler’s Knob’ without getting fired.

Close Calls In Casting

al-pacino-han-soloTaylor Swift will NOT be starring as Eponine in the star-packed movie version of Les Miserables after all. She’s been passed over in favor of British newcomer Samantha Barks. Taylor shouldn’t feel too bad:  Lea Michelle, Evan Rachel Wood and Scarlett Johannson also wanted the role.  Samantha has one other thing in common with Taylor. She, too, has dated a Jonas Brother. In her case, Nick Jonas. I say, look at the bright side, Taylor, the rejection gives you something else to write a song about! Here are some other famous film roles that were almost played by other stars …
• Rather than Keanu Reeves, Will Smith was the first choice to play ‘Neo’ in “The Matrix” films.
• WC Fields turned down the role of ‘The Wizard’ in the 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz”.
• Can you picture Cary Grant as ‘James Bond’? He said ‘no’, Sean Connery said ‘yes’.
• Speaking of Sean Connery, he was approached to play ‘Gandalf’ in the “Lord Of the Rings”.
• Bette Davis could have had the role of ‘Scarlett O’Hara’ in “Gone With the Wind”.
• Rather than Julia Roberts, Darryl Hannah was thought perfect for the lead in “Pretty Woman”.
• Had he agreed, Kevin Costner would have been ‘Bill’ in Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” films.
• John Cusack was wanted as ‘John Bender’ in “The Breakfast Club”. Judd Nelson was 2nd choice.
• Patrick Swayze filled in for Bruce Willis when he turned down the movie “Ghost”.
• It could have been Al Pacino instead of Harrison Ford who starred as ‘Han Solo’ in “Star Wars” movies.
